Does Forza Horizon 3 have a classical music radio station? Cant seem to find the info online. I loved that station in FH2.

I know the demo doesn't support HDR, so it isn't something we know for sure, but does anyone know if HDR support is a toggle in the main game, or if it's just always active?

My TV does an annoying thing where if it senses an HDR signal, it will lock you to the HDR picture setting, which has a bigger input lag than game mode.

I definitely want to try HDR mode to see if the game is still fun to play, but if the lag is too much, I want to go to Game Mode (which I would just need to turn off HDR in FH3 to do)

From what I know the demo has online at the end.

And there are more cities but dont expect a big one like Burnout.

I spend an hour playing before work and it's amazing. Purchase confirmed, though they're a bit dodgy not including HDR in the demo.

The in cockpit view is unusually dark, as if the front windshield is tinted in every car. I just played FH2 to compare and it doesn't have the same problem. I hope this is fixed.

Demo is fun, game looks great, but hooooly shit do I suck hard at racing games. Talk about knocking off some rust. I apologize to anyone on my friends list if I ran into you because I can't drift or turn worth a shit ... lol

Ugh. Apparently my Xbox wasn't in Instant-On so the demo didn't download while I was at work. My internet is way too shitty to download 18GB soon. Guess I'll have to wait til tmrw to play :(.

Not sure, I just followed Anna and after I did the bucket list with the buggy it had a little intro to Forza online. I could then join an online free roam.

Man oh man, I'm so in love with this game.

As if I wasn't sold enough already, taking the Ariel nomad for spin cemented it. And I know there's even better off-roading to come.

Brilliant stuff here. Can't wait to lose myself exploring this map.

Playground fucking nailed it.

All the demos have been like that.

Gotta get the full game for the real goodness.

Thats my number one thing to in Horizon games. Long drives, finding stuff, fucking around. Testing different rides out on different routes.

And this Horizon looks to have the best mix of on and off-roading. Its like Horizon 2 + Storm Island (without the crazy storms). Didn't see too many promising "playground" areas in the demo like the first two games (airport, quarry, golf course), but whats here in terms of pure road and off-road variety, elevation changes, waterways, etc is already amazing.

Yeah it doesn't, so when you play explore as much as want the first time since the second time you run the game it'll put you back in the starting tutorial etc as if you had never run the game.

all good though, I played enough to know I want the game just gotta decide what level to jump in.

Also for those who haven't played much, forza games "reward" you with weekly credits and extra cars and stuff (one time and weekly) depending on your "forza level", you can check it here or the forza app on xbox/W10/phones
https://rewards.forzamotorsport.net/en-US

It doesn't seem to be updating correctly the forza horizon 1 stats unfortunately, and that game is free with GWG this month. I'm 120 points away from tier 7, hope they get the FH1 scores updated before FH3 launches

Should've actually started the download on the Xbox last night, did it on the website last night and woke up this morning... no demo :(

So I have to wait an hour and a half or so, might play a bit of The Crew for shits and giggles

I had such a big grin on my facing during the whole opening sequence. I was already buying this day one but damn. Horizon 2 is my favorite racing game of all time and this clearly is going to take the throne. Serious props to T10 for their work. Really incredible what they have done with this series.

I hit a car so hard it completely changed paint color lol.

Also, looks like we don't have to take pictures of every car we see anymore? That's good... It got old fast in FH2.
