Relaxed, General FH3 Chat

[DJTHEKING]

Might edit this post later...

Only thing that comes to my mind for clue n.2 is this:

Porsche Carrera GT from Justin Timberlake clip.

Clue n.6 could be the Morgan 3 Wheeler or the Slingshot.

 

[Populuxe]

Typo?

It might not be. "Kooky" might be a reference to Edd "Kookie" Burns and his famous T-Bucket hot rod.

EDIT: Now I think about it, the Boneshaker is a T-Bucket and it has a Halloween-ish theme to it. I bet that's what it is.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

I bet the barn find is the Honda S800.

 

[PJTierney]

Okay that Barn Find inclusion is pretty clever, well done.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

That's a nice way to reintroduce monthly free cars.

Please, please let Clue #7 be a Sunbeam Lotus.

 

[-Fred-]

Perhaps it's because of Halloween, but the clues are much more, ahem, cryptic than usual.

 

[Northstar]

I really like the idea of adding barn finds, hopefully they do it every month.

As for the clues:

Car 4 Clue 1: If lives were gears this cat would be hitting 60 in less time than it takes to read this clue aloud.

Car 5 Clue 1: It takes class to inspire this kind of driving. Well, that and one helluva big wing!

Car 6 Clue 1: Street legal yes, daily driver, probably not.

I just hope these 3 aren't referring to more hyper cars.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

Clue 4 has 9 gears. Has to be the NSX.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

That's a nice way to reintroduce monthly free cars.

Please, please let Clue #7 be a Sunbeam Lotus.

Well, it does solve the issue where some have found H3's barn finds disappointing, by adding more stuff which could prove to be popular down the line. That way people won't have to hunt for monthly free cars through Auction Houses and/or game hacking as if they were unicorn cars which can't be attained by any other means if you miss their event (like in Motorsport 6, but bar the Auction House), and the Barn Find gimmick maintains some freshness and incentives to itself. Yes, it's a damm good idea, keep it if you can Playground folk.

Also, I approve of your idea so badly it's not even funny. It makes sense to a certain extent (the weird Peugeot/Chrysler/Rootes "love triangle" thing), and the Sunbeam did prove itself as a winner by, well, winning the WRC once...

But most of these clues are superbly ambiguous, many of them can literally describe about two to three cars (like Car 6, for example). 'Tis a tough guess...

 

[Turboteg90]

Anyone speak french?

[-Fred-]

There's not much in there, he basically translated the clues in French and gave his opinion/wish on each of them.

 

[GroupB]

, and the Sunbeam did prove itself as a winner by, well, winning the predecessor to the WRC...

Predecessor? The WRC began in 1973; Talbot won the title in 1981.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Does anyone still have a list of the cars that were leaked before the launch? We could possibly narrow it down using them

 

[Turboteg90]

The zenvo sounds like the road legal track car clue.

 

[Northstar]

The zenvo sounds like the road legal track car clue.

Quite a few things could fit that one considering it just says it's road legal but not a great daily. Granted it could very well be a track car but it could also be something like a Dakar truck.

 

[Eunosthedeer]

Man I suck at these clues.

I will assume that Number 4 is a Jaguar as it is referred to as a "Cat" Unless Dodge have released a new Hellcat.

 

[McLaren]

I'm all for credit, however in this case "folks" have no legal rights to file a suit as they have no legal right to any of the content, it is cold to put it that way, but it's how it works.
If someone refuses to give credit, all the person can do is contact the owner of the game with the complain, taking the case to court would not even be accepted as no evidence of being the rightful owner would be provided, the terms of any game usually ask players to agree that all that is included within the game is the property of it's rightful owners, meaning developers/publishers and so on, there is no chance of actually being sued.
Let me put it this way, when you work for a company and create a character model, that does not belong to you in any way, it's the company's property, regardless if you made it, you are under a contract, similar case with video games, you agree to their terms, therefore they will own any pictures that are taken within the game.
When someone pulls this off by using pictures you took in real life, then you have the legal right to sue them as you are the owner of the content.

Sorry, it's not quite that black & white. Copyright laws are not a simple yes-or-no determination of whether someone owns something they created. There are multiple categories that define creative work & who can claim ownership of them.

If you use content created by others for your own benefit, whether personal or monetary and believe you will not ever have to acknowledge their work, you are more than free to be filed suit against. Obviously, the developer will be one who retains the rights to the images, but that is just that; the developer. You are not the developer. You do not own any of the content in the photos, nor do you own the photograph (I do not believe any "partnership" grants you equal rights). Why do you think Gamespot or IGN watermark their photos? By your argument, they own none of the content, so their images should be free game. It is because they are displaying ownership of the photos & use them to help promote their articles, likely through legal contracts. I guarantee you 100% if you took their photos and used them for your benefit, you would most certainly have either company sending you a cease & desist letter because you have no relation to those photographs.

In the case of what's happened here, you would most likely be required by the developer to no longer use others' photos to promote your YouTube Channel without due credit, as the goal of using the photos is to promote clicks on your videos which in turn, can generate potential revenue for your gain.

I'm not going to further the discussion b/c this thread moves rather fast and appears off-topic already, which will likely annoy some. But, you are free to continue to disagree & believe your argument will allow you to take whatever you want without consequence.

 

[GBalao888]

Car 1: "Halloween is such a kooky time of year! I love the festive nature of this holiday."
Car 2: "It may be crazy to hear this but, what comes around goes around."
Car 3: "You never know until you try! The result might make for generations of cherished rivalries and competition."
Car 4: "If lives were gears this cat would be hitting 60 in less time than it takes to read this clue aloud."
Car 5: "It takes class to inspire this kind of driving. Well, that and one helluva big wing!"
Car 6: "Street legal yes, daily driver, probably not."
Car 7: "Sometimes winning makes for strange bedfellows."

Clue #1: No idea, could be some hot rod or real-life Batmobile replica.

Clue #2: No idea

Clue #3: 2014 Nissan GT-R R35 NISMO
Reason why: The R35 GT-R has been around for more than ten years now (Forza has had the SpecV, Black Edition and the 2017 model, as well as several Super GT racing versions of it) and given its colorful racing history, plus the fact that other competitors such as the Vette, R8, Viper and 911 are desperately trying to compete for the fastest Nurburgring time, the NISMO version of the GT-R would likely be it. The car was heavily rumored for Forza 6 due to it appearing in the cover of a Boost Mod, but never made it to the game.

Clue #4: 2016 Acura NSX
Reason why: The Acura NSX has nine gears, the same numbers of the lives of a cat, and seems to have all-wheel drive solely through its electric motors, allowing for quick 0-60 times on par with a Nissan GT-R and a Lamborghini Aventador (more of like a GT-R since it's heavier than an Aventador and has a twin turbo V6).

Clue #5: 2015 SRT Viper ACR
Reason why: The ACR variant of the SRT Viper (the last-ever generation of it, sadly) is a truly capable track weapon being able to break such lap records, especially in Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, and is known for its very stable handling, thanks to its massive rear wing and front diffuser, echoing the previous generation's ACR Viper.

Clue #6: 2015 Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo
Reason why: The Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo in real life, is actually registered for street use when it was bought by a Saudi Arabian prince, but judging by its appearance, performance, and especially the cockpit, it doesn't look practical in any way, but the car seems to have an abundance of technology such as over 2000kg of downforce, a 1650hp engine based off of the Chiron's architecture, all-wheel drive, DRS and a number of other racing technologies.
(DISCLAIMER: Yes, I know it was originally for Gran Turismo, hence the name, but the hint somehow fits the car otherwise.)

Clue #7: No idea

(DISCLAIMER: Yes, I know it was originally for Gran Turismo, hence the name, but the hint somehow fits the car otherwise.)

I would love to see the fire storm that would develop if Forza got a VGT car before Gran Turismo.

 

[ViscousTraction]

Car 6: "Street legal yes, daily driver, probably not."

I would've guessed that it'd be the Caparo T1, but that's already been in Forza IIRC.

Obviously that doesn't completely exclude it from being the answer, but I just never liked the idea of recycling cars as DLC (apparently FM5 had it bad)

 

[ClydeYellow]

New Barn Find?

NEW BARN FIND NEW BARN FIND NEW BARN FIND!

I don't even care about the DLC anymore. I just want to hop on one of my trusty Barn Hunters and go look for that thing! I wonder what will it be? Maybe it's the rumored Honda S800? That'd be so cool!

 

[Northstar]

I just thought of what may be the answer to #1. The 1959 Cadillac Professional Chassis fits rather well as it was features in a comedy about ghosts. Unfortunately if it is the Cadi I doubt we would get the full Ecto-1 kit.

That would be amazing.

Seriously though, if the Miller Meteor/ECTO-1 ends up in the game I'm never driving anything else again.

 

[gtuned]

I really hope that whatever the cars are, they're not recycled from Forza 6 as a lot of people are guessing on the forums.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

What if the barn find turns out to be the Kenmeri Skyline from FM6?

 

[Obelisk]

Welp, better get the drone ready.

[doblocruiser]

Man I suck at these clues.

I will assume that Number 4 is a Jaguar as it is referred to as a "Cat" Unless Dodge have released a new Hellcat.

Cat could also point to Lion -> Peugeot. But I think it will be a Jag as well.

 

[Speedster911]

I built a Supra hoping it would have fantastic sounds.. Majorly dissapointed and i never drove it again.

Real sad.

I go to FM5, 6 and H2 to get my Supra dose. Same goes for the R34 Skyline and a few others.
