Forza Horizon 3 just shown at E3

I agree it should have went better however. There are quite a lot of very idiotic choices, like only being able to download to your windows drive and not getting VIP stuff that was paid for.

You can change that, You have to go through the Settings app. Type settings into the start menu search thing, On the left there should be something like storage, and towards the bottom should give you a drop down box to choose new location for APP locations.

What actually is the "vip" stuff anyway. Not played much yet but wtf is it I'm missing exactly ?

Did people actually pay £80 for this?

People would have paid even more,actually,for this Racing Game of the Year.
I dont see problem why price is an issue,when you getting full package with VIP's,DLC's etc.
I would have paid 120 - where is the problem?

Just because some have problems (thats PC "master race" for ya) doesnt mean everyone else has them - i was having a blast and had very little sleep
Game is just breathtaking.
Besides,why people think they should run 2016 game on Ultra?
Every single game released last couple years has some problems,because there are sooo many pc configurations.And there is also human error factor - some tried to install game without updating W10 to Anniversary etc..
I dont have big problems,bar DLC's,VIP etc.activation,done them on XB1.
Found my perfect settings,no stuttering,smooth as silk

It wouldn't let me download to anything but my C:. I tried 4 times in 2 days and kept getting an access denied error. It installed just fine to my C: though.

I tried moving it after it unlocked last night and got another error so I have left it downloading while I am at work.

not getting VIP stuff that was paid for.

Thats a bug not a feature!

Which should be fixed, at some point.

 

[V_R]

Glad I did not pre-order this now.

Yet you were happy to gloat about paying £104 for BF1, which lets face it, given EA/DICE's track record could well be in a worse state than this come release day!

 

[SS-89]

that does look better SS-89, but nothing like what I get. I know you have DOF, but the car is still blurry. Seeing similar posts now around various places as well, this game is a strange one. What works for one, might not work for another lol.

Gotta say though, I'm having so much fun, oh my goodness these visuals are something else, that skyline and the lighting is something else.

Another one without any DOF or shutter speed adjustments (Stationary shot)

Can't say I've noticed any issues with photomode

How's the handling in this, is it the same as the main Forza games used to be (Not played one since 4) - or is it more arcady?
Quite like the idea of this game for something a little more laid back and casual than Assetto Corsa, but only if they've not really dumbed down the driving mechanics.

No its more 'arcady' than Motorsport. Aimed to be more fun than the serious side of FM.

This is Horizon, which is separate from the numbered 'Forza' series.

This is arcadey, as were Horizon on Xbox 360 and Horizon 2 on Xbox One.

 

[PinkFloyd]

Aww, that's a shame! I'll likely give it a go some time, but won't be blind purchasing without a proper test!

They have stated that a demo will come out "some time after" release.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Can't wait to get home from work and try this! I've already alerted the Mrs that I am not to be interrupted!

 

[DrToffnar]

Aha! Of course they have.

this on the official forza support forum stickied by a mod, with an attitude like that im happy I resisted the pre order, I may pick it up when they have sorted the problems out, but really that's a lame post, people are justifiably upset.

YOU'RE ALL MAKING A MESS AND THATS NOT GOOD

The team continue to take your problems seriously and they continue to work on them, HOWEVER, sorting through the tripe on this forum is NOT helping. If you are reporting a problem, starting yet another thread to sort through, or just posting things like "me too" does nothing but slow the process down. There is a thread stickied at the top of the forum that tells you what info the team would like in order to help you.

If threads are set out properly, with the required information then it makes the job of fixing your problem a lot easier and a lot quicker.

and if you try to keep information together then the team do not have to spend half of their time(which they could have spent trying to fix things) attempting to collate things that are spread everywhere and reported badly.

Resorting to swearing will only resort in your removal from the forums.

Spamming the forums will also resort in you being removed.

I realize its frustrating and annoying, but try and have some patience.

I took the plunge and got the Ultimate Edition. What level of performance can I expect with the system in my signature? I only have a 1080p monitor currently.

What's wrong with that?

It's a forum moderator, that's their job. It's not head of development saying "shut up"

Most internet forums when games are released are toxic, you only have to look at Steam forums on the day of release.

If people actually did what they asked, things probably would go a lot smoother.

 

[Westie]

dont see what a problem is at all with what the mod guy wrote.. attitude? lol what attitude!

what a game this is the forest maps omggggggggggggggggg and some of the outback scenery is jawdropping and customization is top notch too!

some of the designs that people have uploading which u can use are really top class!

no he is moaning because he has to clean up the forum, that's his job, i doubt he is volunteering, people are ****ed and he is arguing with them now,

but yes things get toxic and it must be hard, but they should expect that, as for the devs they dont seem to saying anything, maybe that's part of the problem.
