This expansion reminds me of that cancelled Bizarre Creations game where the car was driving on the side of a building.

That proof-of-concept footage with the silver Audi was amazing.

Weeeee

I'm loving this expansion, over 60 medals now.

The HDR on the lights on my new tele wow!

Surprised there hasn't been much coverage or reviews?

WTF is this really in one of the races?????

Ive always had it in the back of my mind to purchase this game. This is gonna make me do it.

so, sorry, is that a no or is that why it reminds them of it

 

[Gtagentleman]

Online races are a ton of fun because everyone have the same grip, not like the AI extreme grip.

 

[Dehnus]

Really? I actually am expecting them to do it for Horizon 3. You have Scorpio launching in the fall so this just makes sense to have an ultimate $60 package with both expansions on shelves with it

Considering how popular this is, they should think of a standalone version. Multiple environments, trackbuilder with sharable tracks.. I mean the possibilities are endless.

While true that would take more resources and I don't playground is that big

Wow wow wow! I've just done the Goliath race after getting 100 medals.

That - Was - F U N !

That gif is from the cancelled Bizarre Creations game. There are a few moments in the Hot Wheels expansion like that so they were reminded of that game. Tracks bend, twist, curve much like how you might've built some as a kid, it's pretty awesome.

Weeeee

Fuck Activision.

Fuck Activision.

I agree.

I just arrived to the island and ran the course.......Super intense. Definitely my favorite dlc of the last 12 months.

This shit is bananas.

Got a little tipsy last night and decided to impulse buy this expansion, got to the store front and saw I had already purchased it. Apparently, a while ago I had got back from a night out decided to buy the Blizzard expansion, and instead got the season pass.

I was pleasantly surprised and a little concerned about drinking habits...

Div nae worry, my mate got shitfaced one night and a day or two later the entire catalog of Star Trek, on DVD, turned up at his house on...

Don't drink, drive and loop-da-loop.

add powerups and it's the Blur sequel i always wanted.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Anyone have tips on best cars per class for this expansion? This Rolls Royce Wraith seems good for A with a 8.4 speed but it gets wrecked on controlling landing and drifts and stuff.

B I can't seem to find a good car to first at all plz halp

Man do I miss that game :/

Yup! I gotta say, this is one of the best pieces of DLC I've ever played! absolutely love it!

Rolls Royces have powerful engines, but they're incredibly heavy. That's probably your problem.

I prefer the Jaguar F-Type R for the A class races.

 

[guybrushfreeman]

I have both expansions now and I'm just cruising through the base game to catch up. Is there a GAF club to join or anything? My friends list on Xbox is empty these days

There's an in-game club [GAF] and a ForzaGAF club through the dashboard clubs feature. There's also a Neogaf club.

 

[ChazGW7]

Jumped back into this game a few days ago, very very tempted to grab this and the Snow Mountain DLC.

 

[E92 M3]

Now I have to buy this lol.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Should be able to get started on the hot wheels stuff tonight

IGN review. 9/10

Back in 2011, pro racer, stunt driver, and X-Games gold medallist Tanner Foust successfully launched his Team Hot Wheels trophy truck further than any other four-wheeled vehicle in history. He did it from a giant jump assembled at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, built to appear like a life-sized length of bright orange Hot Wheels track. Forza Horizon 3: Hot Wheels is Foust’s enormous toy ramp surrounded by a city-sized network of equally insane stunt tracks: a bedroom floor on an unlimited budget. What’s not to love? A delightful, daring, and different expansion that reinforces Forza Horizon 3’s reputation as one of the best racing games ever made.

I was up until almost 4 am playing this. Such a great game.

Finding decently fast (at least 6+ in speed) all-wheel-drive cars with good handling (7ish+) has helped me, pretty much across the board. I recommend a few different variations on the Audi R8 while you're figuring it out. Caayn's recommendation of the Jaguar F-Type R for A class is solid, as well.

 

[Bravoexo]

Seems like a few new things are needed in this game.

1. NOS
2. Parachutes
3. Guns, rocket launchers and laserbeams
4. Seat ejection mode
5. Car jacking
6. Multi-Gpu support.

Ok, maybe just #6, now that Gears of War 4 has it.

 

[The Salt Life]

I was under the influence of some really damn strong Mary Jane, at one point I thought I saw a giant dinosair on the track. I have never smiled do much before buzzing around the track.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Damn your guys' recommendations are KILLING IT.

Any car choices for the Mountain lol??

 

[shandy706]

Downloading this now. Can't wait to play!!



My nine-year-old daughter has already asked me to let her play it and I haven't even tried it yet.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

I prefer the Jaguar F-Type R for the A class races.

Steering wheel is on the wrong side iirc, winds me up something fierce.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Okay that Jaguar KILLED. How about for S1?

 

[KaYotiX]

My 4 yr old loves this, he can't make up his mind on this or MK8D to play lol

 

[xAngelicNinjax]

This is just nutty, Playground are in my mind the Dev team to beat right now, especially in driving games. At this point I might even dare to call Horizon 3 the best driving game ever (not racing though).

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Given how well it seems to be received, do you think we will see a Forza Hot Wheels full game in future?

 

[leng jai]

Is it just me or this this way harder than the base game?

 

[ForkNetwork]

Whoever came up with this idea...promote him.

 

[TheAdmiester]

Is it just me or this this way harder than the base game?

Yes, in particular any track involving the Cobra Coil on Unbeatable will be a misery. You'll be ahead of the AI for 90% of the race, but due to the length of the coil, and the fact that the AI has the same grip as the non-Hot Wheels roads, they'll overtake you at almost twice the speed.

 

[LQX]

Playground is a independent studio right? I remember reading MS passed on their new game but man if their work on Horizon 3 is not a calling card for another publisher to scoop them up. MS better be careful not to loose these guys like they did Bizarre Creations, but I hope they stay independent to see if they can create a different game as spectacular as Horizon 3.
