Relaxed, General FH3 Chat

Concerning the BM_Blazer_79 from the June DLC thread, @TheAdmiester what is the manufacturer code for the Baldwin Trophy Truck? Because if BM = Baldwin Motorsports...

BJ Baldwin's K5 Blazer prerunner, with the world's worst nose job. It fits the bill.

I think this is right on the nail's head...bummer about that front, it's terrible indeed. A stock K-5 Blazer would be a joy to have:

One of my bosses at work has one exactly like that except it's light blue instead of gray. There's not a spot of rust or a blemish on the body, it's in immaculate shape.

I'm fairly sure we'll see something Hoonigan related, be it a car pack or an actual expansion. I vaguely remember hearing something about Ken Block's Hoonicorn '65 Mustang and Rob Parsons aka "Chairslayer" 180SX quite a few months back. If you add those two with the others that have just been found, you get 7 cars, just the right amount for a car pack, or maybe a mini expansion with a Gymkhana course or something like that.

That poor truck. It didn't ask for that nose. It just woke up one day the laughing stock of all the other trucks in school.

Hey wait a minute... isn't this the same Chevy truck Arnie pushes down the hill to save his daughter in Commando?

"He's coming at us... no brakes." Ahh, good times.

Baahahahaha.. I think you're right.

"Mommy... *voice quivering*... I don't wanna go to truck school.. all the other kids think I have a funny nose."

And we already have the Focus, so why not add the rest of the Hoonigan family?

I'm happy to report that the update has improved on the inconsitent framerates I have suffered since the Hot Wheels update. Maybe all console players have, but I guess some people don't notice slight differences as much as others. Anyway, now I can enjoy the game like I used to.

You can now remove the previously unremovable preorder cars from your garage, I can finally rejoice and have an OCD special perfectionist garage

Perfect, they almost ruined my desire to keep building my car collection.

A 928 at last would be the icing on a very delicious round of Forza Porsche cake. That it was first mentioned years ago and a likely victim of the EA license as well is sweet justice.

The 928 or not, FH3 really is shaping up to be an excellent display of Porsche road cars. There's also the little 914 to keep in mind, but I'm afraid it has fallen victim to its own VW badge.

 

[Turboteg90]

The sound on the Valiant is freaking amazing, i love the low end rumble.

 

[Vic Reign93]

Is anyone else having issues with the game crashing on them trying to get into the Hilux?

Try to get in it, crash, try to get rid of it, crash, try to remove the paint job, crash.

This is on the XB1 btw.

Hard reset your console, wait for the brick to turn amber, cut off power to the brick. Wait two minutes and power up console.

Always good practice to do a complete shutdown after gaming sessions - set to Energy Saving mode, shutdown, cut off power to brick after it turns amber.

 

[willbsn13]

I still think there's gonna be a hoonigan car pack somewhere in the future for FH3. Perhaps a tie-in with FM7 at E3?

Excited for a hoonigan themed car pack; I thought we might get something down the line.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

As do I. I've always had a soft sport for the 928.

Here are all the Forzathon rewards cars for this month. Just check the June Forzathon thread for when they're available and how to get them.

• 2015 Porsche Cayman GTS (981C)
  
• 2004 Porsche 911 GT3 (996)
  
• 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder
  
• 2012 Porsche Cayenne Turbo
  
• 1989 Porsche 944 Turbo
  
• 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport HE
  
• 2011 Porsche #45 Flying Lizard 911 GT3-RSR

Wait, there's another 918 up for grabs? Why? I remember us Horizon players having already fought to win one, and yet there's an older model for a prize this month... DLC isn't the only place where Playground is trying to milk leftover older-spec models, I see.

But who cares, there's a 996! And a 944! Sure I could complain that the 996 isn't a Turbo (I prefer its looks to the track-oriented GT3's), but at least I can own one ingame. If I can help it, I will buy many 944s for personal fun and games...

The 2003 and 2009 RS6s are both already listed in the files. They're both the sedan versions but the 2009 has the V10.

I was aware that they were present, I was just under the impression they were the Avant versions. Shame the 2006 model year is represented by the sedan version, because I feel Forza needs a few more wagons (and a class of their own to put them in as opposed to classifying them as Super Sedans)... Well, beggars can't be choosers, I suppose.

Calm down, it's simply another chance for players to win the 918, as not many got it before because the event was one day only. It's the same car.

Yup not everyone has all the free time like you do, Niku. I'm glad there's another chance to get the 918 since of course, all the 918 prices on AH are at least tens of millions.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

I missed the 918. So I'm pretty happy

I should explain that I wasn't angry or upset that the 918 was up for grabs again. I don't condone that type of practice in the slightest, it is more than fair for players who missed out on the April events to get their own 918 for free, without breaking the bank with the unfair prices they're going for in the AH. I was just under the (false) impression it was a different 918 which was being offered as a prize this month, therefore leading me into believing similar models of the same car were being offered as prizes. It's a rather unnecessary thing to do when you already have one model of that type available in the game.

I jumped the gun, and obviously that wasn't wise. In fact, if I get the chance to own another 918, I'll leave it up for grabs for a fair price. It's the least I can do for being rash about this whole thing...

That's what I plan on doing, too. I hope a lot of people flood the AH with reasonably priced 918s so the greedy sellers who have 15 918s up for sale at 10,000,000 Cr each don't get a dime.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

It would be good if all the unicorns became available to access from the dealership once forzathon has run its course, even as paid DLC. That would resolve all the issues IMO

I would agree if we talked about FM6. However, I like how the unicorns now give the auction house a greater purpose.

 

[Speedster911]

So, anybody excited about Nitro Glitter joining the ranks at T10? I hope they are planning to fix all car sound discrepancies.

Who is that? Some 3rd party audio team?

The issue with the auction house is that there can only be a finite number of opportunities to get the car you want.

Welcome Bonny
I’m happy to welcome a new member to the Turn 10 team this week. Bonny recently joined Forza as our new Community Liasion. She’ll be helping Turn 10 and Playground keep track of community issues in Forza games, so we can provide better service to all Forza players. You can catch her on Twitter @StDxNitroGlittr and on the Forza Forums at the GT: Nitro Glitter. Here’s more from Bonny in her own words:





Hi Everyone! Some of you might be wondering “Who is this pleb?” so here is a little bit about me. I am a US Army Vet with a little over 17 years in the gaming industry. I’ve done everything from being a Competitive Gamer to Community Management and everything in between, around and under. I am thrilled to be working with such an awesome team at Turn 10 Studios and I can’t wait to get to know you all better. My Gamertag is Nitro Glitter so feel free to add me. If I’m not working… I am gaming, streaming, or being creative with all kinds of mediums.




Finally, I will leave you with some totally random things about me. My first car was a 1979 Chevy Nova, followed by my second car which was a 1972 Chevelle SS (which got totaled in a terrible accident and a little piece of me died inside). I am obsessed with cupcakes and have a pet hamster named Penelope!




Thanks to all of you for welcoming me into your world and I look forward to seeing you all online!

Did that and the game still crashes everytime I try to get in or get rid of the Hilux I tuned before this update came out, I bought another and that one works just fine, but I rather not have that bugged Hilux still in my garage.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I've spent about 20 minutes or so trying to win one bid on a Lamborghini Murcielago and I can't because some knucklehead decides to bid. Yes, I get that's the point of auctions. That's not what bothers me about it. What frustrates me about this is that they're doing this despite the fact there are a lot of other Murcielagos offered at a similar price with no bids on them. Why bid on my bid? Why not pick another one?!

I did finally managed to snag myself one though during the time I was typing this comment.

 

[GTvsForza]

I feel your pain...

Also, love the new avatar! I used to watch the crap out of Yugioh!

Thanks. I've recently kinda watched all of season 1 on netflix and part of season 2, I for some reason just got put into a Yugioh kind of mood.

Now onto modding my 2nd Murcielago. I'm basically making a rough replica of the R-GT race car.

 

[PJTierney]

Good to see there's some Yu-Gi-Oh! fans around here. It's a fun brand to work on too

The latest episodes from Japan (Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS) just started airing on Crunchyroll (subtitled) and if you're after some classic Yugi/Kaiba action this year's movie is coming out on Blu-Ray this month.

 

[Nielsen]

I never knew what the Chrysler Charger in FH3 was supposed to sound like, but the correction freaks me out to be perfectly honest. It's obviously nice they fixed it but there's something bizarre about its classic muscle proportions in combination with the sound it emits.

 

[yabiggoose]

Considering most of the Valiant Chargers were a I6, lol.
