Relaxed, General FH3 Chat

[willbsn13]

I thought this was an interesting look into possible additions to future FH3 car packs & Turn 10's view on car pack complaints.

Complaint:

I desperately want to see this game, with it's DLC plans, to stop reaching back and dipping to already exists. Make the paid car packs something brand new and exciting every month. Even if they have to hold back some content... which i'm sure most of these Car Pass Packs are anyway far before the game even launches.

And the response:

Opinions and feedback are always welcome. But I feel compelled to chime in when folks post things that just aren't based in fact. Two things come to mind:

1) "reaching back and dipping" - Every car released in monthly DLC thus far in FH3 is new to Forza, new to this gen, and/or listed in the community top 100 wish list tabulated by ManteoMax for us last year when we deliberately set out to learn exactly which cars the community wanted most. Below, you'll see how many of these cars have been ticked off the list in the first 3 months of DLC alone. There are still 3 months of packs in the Car Pass to come, and it's a good bet more cars from that list may find their way into these packs.
2) As for holding back content from the main game to put in DLC later? We shipped every single car in the base game that we could by launch. One that didn't get done in time to make launch, the 1994 Nissan S14 the community has been asking for since FM4, we chose to include for free as a #Forzathon reward car. A couple of others we originally intended to include in the base have found their way into the game as free DLC barn finds.

So, to thing #1, let's examine the first 3 months of DLC to see what "reaching back and dipping" we did versus building what the community literally asked us to build....

OCTOBER
-2016 Aston Martin Vulcan (New to Franchise, community top 100 wish list)
-2000 Lotus 340R (New to Franchise)
-2016 Pagani Huayra BC (New to Franchise, community top 100 )
-2010 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (New to Franchise, community top 100 - and cop lights!)
-2016 Spania GTA GTA Spano (New to Franchise)
-2016 BMW M2 Coupe (New to Franchise, community top 100)
-1976 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade (New to Franchise, and just the right car for the outback if you ask me)

NOVEMBER
-2017 Acura NSX (New to Franchise, community top 100)
-1998 Nissan Silvia K's (New to this gen, community top 100 list - “Where’s my S14? Where's JDM????” posts, we even rolled out a free 1994 S14, and both came with different wide body kits)
-1990 Mazda Savannah RX-7 (New to this gen, community top 100 list - “Where’s my FC??? Where's JDM???” posts - and a widebody kit too)
-1967 Ford Falcon XR GT (New To Franchise, pretty much all generations of Falcons are in the community top 100 list)
-2016 Dodge Viper ACR (New to Franchise, community top 100 list) - yes, there's a base 2013 Viper GTS in the game, but saying they're the same is like saying a Hellcat is like an R/T, or a NISMO GT-R is the same as a base GT-R. Remember the "Where's my Hellcat???" posts? This is why we make cars like these.
-2016 BMW M4 GTS (New to Franchise - and kind of like the above statement, is not your stock M4)
-1979 Talbot Lotus Sunbeam (New To Franchise)

DECEMBER
-2015 Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 Concept (New to Franchise)
-1965 Pontiac GTO (New to this generation, Community Top 100, and an answer to "Where's the Muscle Cars???" posts)
-2017 Jaguar F-PACE S (New to Franchise, new in the real world too)
-1996 HSV GTSR (New to Franchise, and because ‘STRAYA)
-2014 Morgan 3 Wheeler (New to Franchise)
-2017 Mercedes-AMG GT R (New to Franchise, new in the real world too)
-1992 Toyota Supra 2.0 GT Twin Turbo (New to this gen, community Top 100, another JDM classic, and with a widebody kit. Yeah, the round brake light clusters aren't lighting up the square lens cover properly - sorry about that, we'll look into fixing it. A lot of effort went into up-rezzing this car, but this old bug still got through).

It's certainly expected that not every pack has every car everyone wants - can't imagine that will ever happen- and the forums are a place where everyone can freely praise or complain about each pack....but you can't say we're not giving the community the cars they've been asking for.

I've spoken with John a few times (he used to race in Pinnacle Division in Forza Motorsport 6 Leagues), he's a good guy and knows his stuff.

The Supra doesn't have a wide body kit.

 

[willbsn13]

The Supra doesn't have a wide body kit.

The 92 one that was just added does. Not the 98 RZ though

 

[Niku Driver HC]

The Supra doesn't have a wide body kit.

I'm afraid that's wrong, the latest DLC Supra does have a body kit. It's not an over-the-top bodykit like the ones seen for other Horizon 3 cars, but it is a widebody;

(The video is time-marked to show the body kit which comes with the car)

 

[Populuxe]

Also another thing I've noticed. If you take a jump "too hard," you end up getting stuck in the ground....

I've had that happen to me several times. I'm on an XB1, though.

You guys MUST check this out. Here's a sneak peak...

Gran Turismo 4 remaster in the making?

 

[Yui-san]

Thanks for sharing guys

Also, I made a third video tribute to old racing/driving games

Gran Turismo fans, make sure to watch until the end!

Oh wow, one of our own! Nice!

Yep, happily part of the GTP family haha. In fact, this concept came to me back in the GT6 days, after winning a PMC with an Underground 2 themed picture.

Got a pic? I had a look the other day and didn't find it. Yes the new one. New as in DLC.

It's been a few days and I've finally calmed down enough to talk about it. I've been grinding a 10 lap race of the Goliath Circuit to make money for the Forzathon Ferrari sale this weekend. One thing I noticed is that hitting the Y button late in the race, like on the 9th or 10th lap can be problematic. It doesn't just wind you back 5 seconds like normal. The screen go black, it thinks for about half a minute and then puts you somewhere way back on the course almost at random.

So I was on my last lap of the race, been at it for about 90 minutes, when I lost track of where I was and hit a tree that stopped me dead. Even as I'm thinking to myself "Don't hit the Y button. Don't hit the Y button" I hit the Y button. Not only did it send me half a lap back, it also moved me from 1st to 7th place. So it moved me back, but no one else. I was furious. All that work and then a glitch (and a bad habit) took it away from me. I was able to make up 5 positions and finish second, but I was not happy.

If you cancel the Rewind, would it put you back where you were originally?

It might have, if I had thought of it.

 

[submaniac93]

Owch. Good thing I play without it then. I would be too tempted at certain times. The goliath is so long that I usually don't need it. That does suck though ^^'

 

[ImaRobot]

Got a pic? I had a look the other day and didn't find it. Yes the new one. New as in DLC.

The video was immediately after the post you quoted.

 

[Marqus]

So I was just driving through the countryside when this happened:

Crashed the game too.

 

[submaniac93]

That's some nice dirt ya got there xD
Di you somehow fall through the map?

Btw Lillie is better >.>

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Getting my jumps in with my Ferraris, I'm going to use my LaFerrari to see how far it goes on the bridge ramp.

EDIT: I got my own 250LM unlocked.

 

[neddyie118]

Is it me the only car in next weeks Blizzard Mountain expansion I am looking forward to the most is the barn find!!

 

[Techy]

What is the star next to this guy's ID?

 

[Vic Reign93]

What is the star next to this guy's ID?

That is quite simply, the accolade you get when you hit level 1000.

Yep, 1 triple 0.

Another Forza Youtuber who's also got that accolade amongst other things is this guy..

Played for a few hours last night, getting very close to completing the Exhibitions and the Championships, haven't really touched the street races though.

 

[yabiggoose]

What annoys me is the lowest ride height for most cars.

The VS GTSR that is in the latest DLC, I've seen plenty of VS Commodore's in real life lower than the lowest in this game, same goes for the Supra in the latest DLC.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

For those looking to get the Blizzard Expansion pack for free, they're giving away codes during the ForzaRC broadcast. First come first serve though, so you have to be fast with the typing.

I'm slowly doing that myself I think I've done half the championships and 2/3 of the exhibitions

Has anyone had this problem with the AMC Rebel in Forzavista?
(Not my video)

Yes. I believe I posted a thread on that subject a month or two ago along with my photos. Great to see that someone else made a video. Nice knowing it's not just me.
