Not surprised there is no PC demo. Been saying it wasn't gonna happen.

 

[RiccochetJ]

I remember when the FH2 demo came out. People here made some amazing gifs of the races you all were having. Some of you drive like drunken maniacs

 

[TheSeks]

Should be a PC demo.

Especially with how MS pushed for a demo for XBLA titles a decade ago. It's just flat out dumb to do first party stuff on their store and expect people to know if it'll run good on their system or not.

 

[Hockeymac18]

Incredibly pumped for this. Loved the FH2 demo.

 

[tearsintherain]

is the ultimate edition worth it? if they release an expansion like storm island, you will get it if you buy the ultimate edition?

you do NOT get content xpac DLCs with the ultimate editions of any the forza games - only a bunch of car packs, the VIP pass which gets you some stuff (?), and a car collection pass which feeds you a few cars every month for like six months.

There will almost certainly be future content DLCs and you will have to pay for them, I think in FH2 they added Storm Island, the Porsche Expansion, and I think the Nascar expansion? Storm island was huge and added a whole new area and stuff, Porsche and Nascar I believe only added cars and tracks.

Glad to hear FH3 demo coming out, still haven't pre ordered but was planning to real soon, after playing the demo I'm sure it won't change my mind.

Most likely not. Forza season passes are not like traditional season passes.

• The full game of Forza Horizon 3 (disc)
• 4 days early access to the game
• Limited Edition Forza Horizon Steel Tin
• Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass
• Forza Horizon 3 VIP Membership
• Forza Horizon Motorsport All-Stars Car Pack

I believe the car pass only includes like the first 6 car packs, those that come out after that will have to be purchased separately like in Horizon 2.

Get six monthly car packs at one low price. With the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, you'll always be dialed in to the latest and greatest cars in Forza Horizon 3.

I will probably just get the base game if the demo is good, and wait for the season pass to go on sale.

8PM on a Sunday is...not exactly my optimal time but still goddamn this is going to be good! The FH2 demo blew me away and made me instabuy the game as soon as I could.

 

[Googledotcom666]

Great, hope it's as solid as the fast and furious version of number 2

 

[RoKKeR]

Very much looking forward to this.

 

[Jafku]

No PC demo? Thanks Microsoft

 

[leng jai]

Looks like no PC demo as expected. Windows Store continues to smell.

 

[Atlas157]

Nice

Edit: Is it going to be the same as the E3 demo or will it have a small area to free roam in like the FH2 demo?

 

[Possumowner]

Awesome,shall buy it on PC though.

An article went up a few days back on Trusted Reviews, and claimed that Ralph Fulton (creative director) said the demo was coming to both Windows 10 and Xbox on September 12th.

The article has since been taken down, but this other site still has some of the article up.

Hope Helios can shine some light on that.
I mean from the previews the PC version looks like a good version. So a demo is really gonna help.

 

[flaxknuckles]

I never played the first two Forza Horizon's so the hell I would buy 3 from the Windows Store with no refunds for $60 without knowing I'd actually like it. lol at not releasing a demo.

 

[paperspace]

No PC is not a good look.

I'll wait for reviews either way, though.

 

[GWX]

I'll be playing on Xbox One, but no PC demo is really dumb. It just shows insecurity about the quality of the port, and Microsoft isn't in a situation where if they indeed have a solid port, amidst all the problematic ones on their platform, they can just sit on it and expect people to buy it blindly.

 

[Captain Zyrain]

But FOOTBALL!

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

Can't wait to play this

 

[Grazzt]

Already pre-loaded the full game. But I still would play some demo.
Warthog can be used in the demo too!

 

[T.O.P]

Horizon's demo are usually meaty as fuck, enjoy!

I'm currently replaying the first through BC so I'll just wait for my Ult Ed to unlock on the 23rd

 

[lazerfox]

Really glad I can try this first before I buy.
Most games don't have a demo at all so I don't understand the people complaining about the lack of a PC demo.

 

[Papercuts]

Aww yiss.

 

[LoveCake]

I have the digital UE pre-ordered, it has downloaded to my X1 it seems anyway, is there anything that will transfer over to the full game if I get this demo?

If it it like the FH2 demo nothing will transfer over.

 

[RyudBoy]

Hurray

 

[Poster#1]

Fucking bought. Don't even need a demo. FH2 is the racer of the generation so far.

 

[RichiRamjag]

Ooh. Not a big race guy, but always enjoyed the horizon games.

 

[Forever Changes]

Because there's one for the console version? Also would be nice to test settings.

Pfffft you won't resist. 10 minutes after release you'll rush to download it.

 

[aaronwt]

I pre-ordered FH3 before Summer started for my Xbox Ones. It's already downloaded to my XBOnes and yesterday I downloaded it on my PCs. Since the PC version is free with the Xbox One version purchase.. I will try the demo for a few hours but I'm really looking forward to playing the FH3 game on September 23rd.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

i wish the demo was available earlier than later tonight! UGH

This might help:

It's almost like PC players have a variety of hardware, and would love to see how it runs on their setup before making a purchase!

I guess we don't deserve it.

YOU GET THE GAME BE HAPPY AT THAT.

 

[xion4360]

Its today?? my Xbox One S on my 4K HDR TV is fuckin ready.

 

[KageMaru]

Really disappointed by the lack of a PC demo. Have they ever released a demo on their store?

Nothing is confirmed yet. Even the Xbox demo isnt officially confirmed.

 

[BeforeU]

What an odd timing, should have released it on Friday or last night.

 

[Hawk269]

This will be the first consumer released video game that supports HDR...so dying to try this out later tonight on my HDR set. Really looking to see what the differences are. Going to run test by having my Xbox One S with the HDR on and off to see the differences.

 

[Banditscout]

I'm on the store looking for the demo but am unable to find it. Anyone know what time they'll post it?

8pm EST/5pm PST. It is in the thread title as well.

Ah well that's disappointing, thanks.

Yeah it reminds me of the Bioshock demo that made a surprise drop on a Sunday.

 

[Jarrod38]

How big will the playable demo be?

 

[Forever Changes]

Yeah it reminds me of the Bioshock demo that made a surprise drop on a Sunday.

Oh god I played that demo for about 4 hours.

 

[Theorry]

How big will the playable demo be?

Store says, 18gb.

 

[SlaughterX]

Wonder why they are releasing it so late into the day... this might interfere with my Power streaming.
