Relaxed, General FH3 Chat

[DJTHEKING]

Sept. 27(or 24) can't come soon enough.

And my gaming pc too.

 

[Rob192005]

I'm expecting the Win10 version will have uncapped frame rate?

I'm sure I heard that somewhere.👍

 

[MockngBrd]

This new Horizon is giving me happy feelings, like the time i first played NFS 1 on the 3DO

 

[symo63]

I have just pre-ordered the FH3 Ultimate Edition on the Xbox One. Now the countdown starts. lol

 

[Luminis]

I'm expecting the Win10 version will have uncapped frame rate?

Not uncapped, but it'll do 60FPS.

 

[GTFan24]

Question about Win10 version, is an Xbox account required like with FM6:Apex?

 

[TonyJZX]

Not uncapped, but it'll do 60FPS.

Goodbye Xbox One. Its been ok at 30fps.

Question about Win10 version, is an Xbox account required like with FM6:Apex?

At this point we dont know what their plan is.

I assume they will do the exact same pricing for Win10 UWP as the Xbox so of course, you need an account.

I'm not sure if they will release a physical Windows 10 disc. This could be problematic if its only a downloadable game on the Windows store as you can expect a 69 euro or 69 pound sterling game for eternity.

I buy all my games on disc and if the price of 60fps on Windows is a full priced game download....

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I'll hire a bunch of drivers just to fire them.

(Note: I seriously dislike Trump and wouldn't vote for him if I were in the US in fact I'd fire him too if I could)

Should've used this instead

 

[bremics]

Although I'm not the biggest fan of Bathurst, I'm hoping it's in so I don't have to wait a year to try some of the new supercars on a track.

 

[TokoTurismo]

I shall follow suit soon.

 

[Maxrevv]

Can't wait to finally experience the full-fat Forza experience on PC. Was on the fence on buying an Xbox One because its just one game, but when Apex came, its a godsend since I already have a PC.

If its anything as Apex, FH3 on PC should have a smooth launch. Still pissed that we can't use FRAPS or Shadowplay on Windows Apps.

Not sure where to post this interview. So Fulton confirms Drone mode (Slap Train tweeted this earlier) and a number of other questions asked (no new Tuning options).

Dan G gives a nice monologue at the end about the future of Forza. Talks about E-Sports and how Forza Racing Championship will be a big part of that. Really nicely done Q and A. Much rather this than twitch AR12 stuff but I guess that's popular and they got a lot of viewers doing it so can't really argue with that.

Excellent, was waiting for this interview to come up.


Updating my big list of questions based on this.:

Are Clubs included?

Yes
Unsure if it is in-game or using the newly-announced native Xbox Clubs support.

Can we share cars privately with other players?

Kind Of
Cars cannot be permanently gifted to other players, but when playing in Co-Op it is possible to use cars owned by other group members.

Can we gift liveries, tunes and CR to individual players?

Unknown

Will there be a centralised Storefront system, where one can find all of an individual user's liveries, tunes and layer groups?

Yes

Is there an Auction House?

Yes

Are there any penalties for corner-cutting?

Unknown

Are there any penalties for crashing?

Unknown

Will we have searchable player-hosted custom lobbies?

Unknown

Will there be any sort of licensing or seeding system (other than TrueSkill) to separate experienced players from newbies?

Unknown

Are there any new tuning options?

Yes
New visual upgrades (bodykits, rims etc.), no new tuning menu sliders.

What eSports features are available?

Unknown

What improvements have been made to spectate/replay features?

Unknown

Are there any improvements to Photo Mode?

Yes
There's a new "Drone Mode" which lets you control a flying drone to record photo and video footage.

Will leaderboards be available externally, on websites/apps etc.?

Unknown

Will there be cross-platform Multiplayer between Xbox and PC?

Yes

Can layer groups, liveries and tunes be imported from previous Forza titles?

Unknown

Will there be leaderboards for drag racing?

Unknown

Will there be leaderboards for drifting?

Unknown

 

[ClydeYellow]

So, new rallying parts for "many cars"?

Make it happen, PG.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Calling that the Delta S4 will receive the suitable Group B parts... and the RS200 some mudflaps.

 

[mrPetros]

Can we gift liveries, tunes and CR to individual players?
Unknown

back in the old forza days, when I wanted to gift a million to a friend of mine, I'd ask him to put up an auction with his cheapest car for 1 mil.
also if I wanted to pass an expensive/tuned car to him, I'd have him on party chat and setup an auction with the car so he'd be the first to grab it.

I think that with storefront and auctionhouse back, almost all bases are covered

 

[Fat Tyre]

Call me dumb but I would buy this just for that drone mode. I'll love to record clips and later edit them on my PC to make fake trailers and stuff like that. Hopefully they'll add this feature later onto the Motorsport franchise.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Man, Dan always looks super-tired at E3.

Drone Mode sounds like something close to what people have been asking for in terms of a Director Mode. I'm very curious about the controls it will have: will our car continue to drive around (via Drivatar)? Do we rely on the XB1's native recording, or are there in-game features? How high up can we go? Does it function during online free-roam (so can we finally record that in some way)?

So many questions.

When gifting was a feature you had the advantage of sending your content "unlocked" so that others can edit it. This was big for tunes and layer groups in particular. Right now everybody has to spend more time making logos than liveries, as the painting community can't create a database.

Auctions don't provide that, anything you used to download from them was locked and by attempting to make changes you'd delete the tune/livery from the car.

It's an easy workaround to sending CR to people yes, but it's not native support.

what you refer to is "collaboration", where two artists get together and work on a specific car livery, yes?
there is already a way to make this work, and that is to create a new gamertag in your console (that now has all benefits like your main gt, at zero cost), and pass the gt details to the artist you want to collaborate with.
the reason the "unlocked" functionality was removed was eventually someone found a way to use this unlock switch in locked liveries. liveries where duped and transformed and sold without the consent of creator. many artists where very pissed if you remember. so with this workaround, you loose all risk and still get to do collabos if you want to.
maybe in the future they'll find a way that they;ll feel will be theft-proof. for now this is a way to cirqumvent.
now, the best logos iirc where never sold "open" anyways.

 

[nick98]

Am I the only one who thinks there should be a weekly Horizon Blueprint creator spotlight here on GTP when this game releases? Would be cool, to be fair! :3

 

[mrPetros]

if blueprint function works in reality as well as in our imagination , then yes of course it would be more than cool.
I guess they will demo blueprint as time goes on. fingers crossed it becomes horizon's goldmine

 

[TokoTurismo]

That be a excellent idea @nick98. 👍

 

[Eunosthedeer]

So......

People moaning about where to S14 is yet?

 

[bremics]

So......

People moaning about where to S14 is yet?

Yep. During the first live twitch lol.

I never wanna see a S14 in a Forza game, ever.

 

[Rob192005]

So......

Nah just the 370Z so far.. kidding of course.

 

[ImaRobot]

will our car continue to drive around (via Drivatar)?

If they haven't already, they should really take this on!

 

[AudiMan2011]

I'll be looking to preorder around a month or so before release as there's no huge rush for me at the moment.

I might, MIGHT look at stepping up to the digital Deluxe Edition and just get the Car Pass later as I'm not really fussed about the Early Access that the Ultimate Edition offers.

If you're interested in the car pass, then you might as well get the Ultimate, to be honest. I think the car pass is usually around $30 USD and with the base game coming out to just about $65USD after taxes, it makes for the best option as you aren't really spending too much more since the Ultimate is $100 USD. I think it's just about 5 bucks extra, so the vip and the extras alone should be worth that.

I'm not sure how the money translates, and the differing prices for different countries, so take that into consideration.

 

[Neddo]

One more time, there should be convertibles. I want to put roof down to California T
