I know they can't really do most of the camera effects like depth of field in real time gameplay but they should add a zoom option in the drone mode, so there's even more a good video editor has to play with.
 
Game of the generation confirmed:

Some favourites from FM6 showing up again, like the Volvo, Range Rover SVR, 570S, etc.
 
Right on, thanks.

I hope there are still more cars to be released because I am really missing the RS4/6 Avants.

Same, and VW is missing despite cars in the VW Group being present. Car list is a bit odd because of those missing cars (I want the RS6 sedans that returned in FM6 and the RS7 too) but there's enough to make up for it.
 
Posting it in here to see if anyone is interested but I have been thinking about doing some kind of "Road Rally" race with this game when it hits.

This is sort of what I was thinking:

* I (someone) creates the route before hand. Watches mileage/landmarks for where to turn and what roads to take, etc.
* Everyone finds a partner and we split into teams
* The navigators are sent an email or a PM with the directions/route info
* Everyone joins the lobby together at first and then once the rules are explained and all the shit is ready everyone goes into a private party chat with their driver/navigator.
* The navigators all go into spectator mode and watch their driver
* When the race starts, the driver has no idea where to go except for where the navigator tells them
* We could do staggered starts and go by time or have everyone leave at once and who gets there first
* It is about both speed and the navigator being able to explain the directions

If you have ever been in a road rally, it might make more sense but I feel like I could flesh it out better if people are interested. Just wanted to do something different with ForzaGAF and Horizon 3. Also, Helios, if you have any suggestions about it then I am up for ideas.

Sounds fun in a Sega Rally kind of way. "Easy right"

I wonder what cars will get a forza widebody kit, if there is one for every car minus the open wheel and 3 wheel ones I'll be amazed
Yeeeeeeeees! I'm soooo happy to finally have my Esprit V8 back. It's been a long while since TDU.
FH3 is close to containing an entire early 2000's racing game car list within it

Maybe he meant music? If that's the case I would love a track listing as well lol

The music list isn't released yet. They've said there will be new stations and much more diversity than before.

Also, there's a customs station where you play music from your own OneDrive and Microsoft Groove playlists.
 
So as a forza noob as myself. (only have 6)

Whats different between the number (1~6), and horizons?

Its more of a arcady open world Ish as apposed to Sim racing I assume?

Horizon is completely open world. For example in 2 you could drive from France into Italy. It's 30fps as opposed to 60fps in Forza numbered. I like both franchises, but Forza Horizon is definitely more fun and arcade than sim.

Super excited to play this! Gonna jump straight in with digital so I can get the cross buy. Have a beast PC, so will play that primarily. But good to have an Xbone backup in case they fuck up the port.

Wow, I might have to pick up Horizon 2 then, I honestly didn't know this until I saw this thread 5 minutes ago.

Thanks!
