Okay. It would be pretty nice to be in the club from Day 1(-4).

Right now I'm the only one in the club. We'll have a thread or just a link in the OT to a ForzaGAF spreadsheet. This will list everyone's gaf name/GT, available times, etc. We did this with FH2 which worked ok. But folks were joining late in it's life cycle and we weren't keeping the spreadsheet up to date.

And it won't be just me who can send out invites. In FH2 we had a bunch of club admins that could send out invites too. We'll sort it all out after release.

So wait, the demo doesn't use HDR? I just bought the ks8000 and it looks stunning. It's going to look better?

I was in the FH2 GAF club. Just wanted to know how it will work this time around I can't wait. (I'll volunteer to be one of those admins)

There was a train special event in FH2 iirc.

Yeah you had to race it, I like those race other vehicles/modes of transport.

I know it's a weird thing to ask for (road-trains) but I just think they would add something to the feel of the game.

Would also disrupt the gameplay and are a terrible idea.

Chances of road trains are around 0%, probably even lower.

Maybe in special events, but not in "free roam".

bought it on the german store. shit how much money did i waste? but at least i can play it early in comparison to singapore version, right?

Uhh no haha. Its earlier 0.00 in Singapore then in Germany. So Singapore 0.00 is 18:00 on the 22nd in Germany. So you could have played 6 hours earlier. But awell.

What's everyone's first go-to car going to be?

I think I'm going with a tricked out Focus RS to do some casual exploration and learn the map some (I always disable the entire HUD).

Not the most inspiring choice but I like it and am thinking of buying one for the Mrs (really me lol). Of course I will be taking the Warty for a spin too!

 

[Theorry]

Jup. The time of release all depends on wich store you buy and it will take that 12 am release time. Depends on where you are in the world if that benefits you.

Either a Subaru WRX, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo or Chevrolet Camaro. They are in the game, right?

[AcridMeat]

They are streaming the full game on twitch later today. Just posted this screenshot, Focus RS.... hype

More like rs200 hype.

 

[D'ultimate]

Ready to try out that GMC Syclone. Haven't played with one of those in a game before. The sounds in the demo have me more intrigued than I would have imagined.

Anybody have a list of the NEW cars in this game? Ones that haven't been in an Horizon game before.

 

[Invis]

Is there no preload for this game on PC yet? I go into the Store and it says "You own this product" whenever I'm on the Forza Horizon 3 page, but whenever I go to My Games it doesnt even show up?

Not yet. Recore was 4 days before release. So should be close then.
Tomorrow is review day also. So i guess that would be a good time.

 

[deejay]

The gift card + paypal combo stopped working ~3 days ago. Gift card only since then.

That's what I thought. Should've stuck with the Standard Edition then

Put that thread into your Subscriptions list and you should always be up to date on the store possibilites: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=722968

This will be my first Forza Horizon with a steering wheel. I CAN'T WAIT.

Sorry for shouting.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Anyone know any good (preferably free) UWP framerate testers?

I'd like to know this as well... same situation.. was floored by the demo.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Forza Motorsport Apex?

I think you misunderstood the question!

Anyway, it seems a trial version of Dxtory will do the trick.

 

[Theorry]

Dxtory trial?
Edit: To late.

Ohhh haha my bad.

Nvidia Shadowplay seems to work on UWP apps in its latest update. The overlay FPS matches exactly with Forza's built in FPS counter. If you have an AMD card then DXTory is probably your only bet, although I could never get that to work on UWP myself. The counter always just disappeared after the title screen appeared.

Didn't someone mention reviewers would get the PC version tomorrow? I am hoping that the pre-load will start tomorrow.

Prepare yourself

 

[Megasoum]

I know we still have like a week left but the slowness of the whole Warthog code thing is a bummer.

 

[louiedog]

They confirmed in stream there will be a PC preload available.

Wait, Forza has a built in FPS counter?

 

[TheRed]

Does anyone know if the steam controller can work in UWP games or is it impossible? I don't really need it for this game but I would love to use it in Gears 4.

 

[TheAdmiester]

Apex does, yeah. It's in the graphics options, it was added not long after launch.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Cool, hopefully Horizon has it too. I need to see if I can properly max it at 4K/60fps!

 

[Strootman]

Watching the stream.

This is GOTY, right?

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Watching the stream.

This is GOTY, right?

I got an update on the Xbox about 10 minutes ago, just asi as about to load up the Twitch app, lol.

I take it it's looking good then, are they showing off more of the map?

 

[Theorry]

Those cars. Wanna drive everyone of them haha. They all look great.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I saw the option to add training wheels to the Reliant, so yes.

They were racing on the same part of the map featured on the demo but the stream is not over so who knows. The map was not restricted like in the demo.

They did a bucket list with the warthog and the halo music. It's incredible. Also some classic music and also you can customize the clacson. Lol

 

[Theorry]

Nice Goliath is back.

 

[CodeNfX]

Anyone own a Fanatec clubsport wheel? I'm thinking about getting their top end bundle but it's a lot to think about since it's soo expensive.

Oh my.....

A bucket list event in the Warthog with the Halo score playing in the background?

Yeah, you were right. 2016 GOTY right here

 

[deadfolk]

Dayum! Is that going to be included in the base game?

 

[evanswolves]

Hope it's just the stream, but the frame rate looks a bit dodgy
