Love the demo so much that I've deciced to order the Ultimate Edition. Been ages since I've ordered a LE but damn this demo...gonna be gud
Yea that's a nice and humble approach.Show not tell is a good approach sometimes, especially if you're planning a pre-release demo
Did it? I don't remember that hmmmm...

I played A LOT of FH2 and I do not remember that at all.
Gonna need some proof here.
The cloud rendering is on a whole other level. If I remember in FH2 they used to just pop in an out of existence. Sometimes they moved and sometimes they didn't. I remember sitting watching skies and they never moved at all.

Can I not pre-order Forza Horizon 3 on the Windows Store yet? It appears as a suggestion when I search for it but when I click on it I get this error message - 0X00000005

I've preordered it so yeah.
Make sure you're clicking on one of the named editions like Standard Edition or Ultimate Edition, I beleive the one titled just "Forza Horizon 3" isn't an item on its own but a thing included in the editions. Confusing, I know.

Forza Horizon 3 |OT|Graphics are meh...
Hoping I get removed from the preview program today......shit was setting stuff wonkers yesterday.
Random DC's from my elite controller.....audio cut in and out......freezing and locked up audio as well from the headset port. This was wireless or direct connect to the console.....I never had issues until the update yesterday
I want to play the demo so bad without my audio locking up every 7 minutes.

Tried the demo and it looks and plays amazing. I'm not a racing guy but it tempted me a tad.

What search term did you use? Even just using 'Forza' doesn't bring up anything really apart from Forza Hub and Forza Motorsport: Apex.

I was planning on probably just buying the regular version but after the demo I changed my mind. Gotta go with the Ultimate. They deserve my money.

How do you use the drone when your car is driving and how do you get access to other cars?
It's not an excellent example, but look at the shadow being cast on the mountain in this pic.
Or "I see you've played beach-y race-y before"
This is the one
Try doing a factory reset, but keep your data. This will clear out certain caches and databases you cannot otherwise reset.

I think so, what version is it? I'm on 1511.

Actually you don't, the anniversary update is 1607, you have to update it. Check Windows Update and force it there.

The frame rate & frame pacing is so damn smooth and consistent! It's locked 30 and pretty much stays there the whole time.
Played the demo last night and WOW. The graphics are so damn nice. Looks much better than FH2.
Playing that demo definitely made me want to purchase the game. Tough thing is digital or not.. Digital gives me the PC version as well.... decisions, decisions...

Damn, it only updated a few days ago, will try it now.
Was trying to hold off playing the demo as I already have the UE on pre-order. However I caved in this afternoon.........
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!
This game is something else. I thought FH2 looked great but this is on another level. They've tweaked the physics too.....cars feel a lot more weighty and they feel incredible to drive.
Bravo, Playground. Bravo.

People are mostly using the drone to follow other ai or multiplayer cars. In the demo the only cars you can get is the initial selection
Yep. Your progress is saved to the Cloud and carries over no matter what platform you play it on.

I think the absolute cheapest way will be going through one of the international Xbox storefronts. Hong Kong maybe.

Does anybody know if Australia's blue salt flats made it into the game? Could be nice DLC if it didn't.
Yep, it 100% did. It was one of things I was really impressed with. You could sit on a hill top overlooking a valley and watch cloud shadows move across distant hills and the valley. Looked great.
FH3 still looks next level to me though.

How do I find the clubs via Xbox live, I am a preview member but can't seem to find it under community. There is a forzaGAF club/lfg right?

I've always felt scenery and racetracks and elevation changes were overrated in racing games.
I know you are being sarcastic but a small version of some salt flats would be fuckin amazing in a Horizon game. Just a place to hit top speed and fuck around without worries sounds pretty damn awesome to me.
The airports do a good job of that but I sort of want salt flats now.
Driving a car at a cliff and then switching to drone mode and seeing it fall off from that perspective gives me Driver San Francisco flashbacks.
Yeah, whatever clever title people come up with, give it a run through something like this.
I think the best one we have so far is still this pieced together map from a while back.
I like to think of myself as a Penn and Teller type.

The demo is pretty much the full bottom half of the map, so actually we have the full thing now.
