Relaxed, General FH3 Chat

The problem will be, why can't we exit our car and hop into another player's car.

Also, why can't we hop on bicycles? The world's probably the best realised after GTA V's San Andreas, so why can't we explore its glory at a slower pace?

So impressed by the open nature. The ability to drive all the way up a river is pure GTA freedom.

This game is going to be incredible!

Meh, took me about 45 minutes without fast travel to find all the roads.

Honestly kinda disappointed in the map size, was hoping for a full island like in TDU.

At least they improved the roads, a lot more life like.

I spent two hours last night finding all the roads. If you found them all in 45 minutes, you were either using the Centenario, or you didn't actually find them all.

I agree with you on the last point, though. Despite the fact that this seems to be even more open world than even FH2, the roads are so much better designed, there is a real incentive to stay on them and really work on your braking points and cornering line.

Hoping for a map that big in less than two years dev time is pretty unreasonable to me atleast

If your talking about the demo map that's not the whole map lol. FH3 map is Twice as big as FH2 map.

I definitely found them all, wasn't taking my time though lol.

Yeah, I was really excited by the Headland Circuit, felt like an actual race track. That nice banked corner, the quick downhill sweeper, etc. If many of the street circuits feel like that...

I noticed if you look at the map you see tons of roads that look to be racetracks. Like, perfect tracks. Gonna make circuit races a lot better this time around.

It is, I suppose I just got my hopes up because it's an island.

Hopefully, looked at the map size and how quickly you can get to the farthest points from the demo size and eh...

The map has been confirmed to be only a small portion of the full map, from the get go.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

The map definitely seems divided into 3 confident sections - Forest /coastal, outback, and urban.

 

[willbsn13]

I remember them having an expansion pass lined-up for FM5 and then they canned it. So maybe this signals the possible return of an expansion pass? Since this is from a preview build of the game and Playground/T10 haven't confirmed any DLC past the car pass, I wouldn't confirm it. But it's certainly a possibility now.

What would be included in an "expansion pass" though? I mean car pass would cover the Car DLC's (up to a certain point of course, as has been in the past)... but this is open world game we are talking about. Not really much to "expand" on.

Thoughts? Or am I thinking about it wrong?

 

[Neddo]

It's about time they make an expansion that is connected to map like Paradise Island in BP.

If that's there then yes, it's happening.

I had a strong feeling it was coming but holy hell it's now confirmed.

No more shocks now, hm PG? Trying not have a stroke as it is.

 

[UKMikey]

I wonder whether it'll be Tasmania or some completely fictitious location like Storm Island was.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

Whatever it is I'm hoping it's connected to the vanilla map like the expansions in Midnight Club 4 and Burnout Paradise.

@Neddo 110% agreed.

If they can't merge, then they can set apart with "Ticket to Haruna"

 

[Harakudoshi]

My bet is on the Australian alps with mountainous terrain and snow.

Hi folks,

Alongside the release of our most recent update for Forza Motorsport 6: Apex, which introduced Windows 10 wheel support, we’ve been working hard to improve steering wheel support and FFB tuning for Forza Horizon 3. Because the game features driving experiences and vehicle types that are not present in Apex, such as off-road driving in trophy trucks and buggies, this integration work requires additional tuning across the game’s diverse vehicles and terrain.

While not found in the Xbox One demo, many of these improvements will be present in the full version of Forza Horizon 3, on PC and Xbox One, when Forza Horizon 3 launches with early access on September 23. In addition, we’ll have support for additional wheels beyond the Apex wheel list that was previously announced. As we’ve said before, wheel support is an ongoing priority for the Forza team and, as we gather your feedback on wheels in both Apex and Forza Horizon 3, we will continue to improve wheel support in future content updates.

Thanks,
Brian

So how many is there to find? I just wanna know if I found them all,I made it as 111.

There 488 roads.

I meant in the demo.

In the demo he means.

I'm mainly looking forward to taking Vehicles out to places they simply just don't belong.

Example.. Whilst I'd rather not have GT Race Cars in the game (Stick to the Motorsport series in future), I will admit the idea of taking one through the Aussie jungles where in reality it would be impossible to drive them does seem amusing.

If anything, a GT rallycross race would be stupid dangerous and fun ;D

 

[05XR8]

This guy mentions a V8 swap as well. Wonder if it's the 5.0 from the Altima Supercar.

No, it is the 6.2l LS3. It says when he selects the v8 in engine conversions.

Dang. There is more to life than an LS engine.

Should be interesting with the #55 + #22 Supercars.

Rather a shame they didn't introduce any new brands beyond ADV.1, Rotiform, and 50-52, nor introduce new wheels for older brands. Especially bothered by STILL not having the proper Watanabe 8 spokes. The Compomotive MLs have an ugly offset and no dish and just don't look right.
A lot of the new wheels they added look ace, though. Shame the Fuchs knockoffs don't have any PORSCHES OR VWS to put them on.
