Fucking hell!! Is that real?
I understand reviews are subjective and all that but giving Horizon 2 a 2/10 - I honestly find that incredible. Guess they won't be hitting that 90+ rating then

Do racing games ever hit 90+ any more?
Pretty pointless getting two now when this is out in a week. It looks to be a vast improvement that will have hours of game play anyway.
Damn, that review is hilarious, and the score is just icing on the cake. Had to Google the guy since I never heard of him before and it seems like he's famous for these off-the-mark reviews, as far back as Deus Ex.
It can always be said that reviews are opinions and always subjective, but after a certain pattern of reviews, it becomes obvious when someone can't recognize greatness. Oh well.
Interesting review. From reading that I'd just assume he didn't like racing games but you say The Crew was his game of the year?
What's with his obsession over the driving aids and corner cutting in regards to rival times. It's Forza Horizon, it's supposed to be fun for anyone. This isn't Formula One lol. I can only imagine what he thinks about blue shells and shortcuts in Mario Kart.

I agree with his sentiments regarding the driving line, the way the VIP pass works and rewind times being included in leaderboards but the rest... Opinions and all that I guess.
To be honest I had more fun with the demo for Horizon 3 than I have with certain full games that have high metacritic scores (shadow of mordor I'm looking at you). So with that said, I don't really care what "reviewers" or the metacritic score for this game will read in the end. I know I will have a ton of fun with it along with other like minded individuals and that's all that matters at the end of the day.
It's the same price tho, isn't it? :-/

It does not work that way, you don't get a code. Either you buy the Xbox One version or PC version digitally, you get "both", it's one game on several platforms, you buy the game digitally, not a version of the game.

Had to order the digital ultimate edition in the end as GAME had reached allocations for the physical version, and there was some sort of payment error in my favour too as I only ended up spending 69.99 for £80 credit.
I think it was to do with payment cards and my game card wallet.
Roll on Friday, pre loading now.

Sold my One a while back but I'm going to buy a S model just to play this game. It looks gorgeous and really really fun.

As do I, I only use 10% of the cars in a forza game if that. But when the reward system is completely pointless the single player campain suffers, and I used to like doing them to earn money.
Is this still possible? How? Will you still definitely get the PC version by doing this?

Wait for 3. The demo has already shown more variety than 2
Wow, what a big pile of shit.
I remember laughing at this two years ago and it's still hilarious today. What l like is that he slates the game for having a driving lime and then negs it for having the option to turn it off.
The fact it is an arcade (cartoon?!) game is just overlooked. I can understand a review which tries to critique something, but he feels like he has an agenda.
The Crew? Yeah right.

Wait, are there any filters to search for races without driving assists?

I'm interested too but I have no Xbox to do this on - only PC
Doesn't matter. If you purchase FH3 for PC, you're still getting the Xbox One version as that's technically the only one for sale. The PC version is just a bonus.
I think from what we have seen from this game 90+ is really possible.
Unless there are some strange things going one we have not heard about
about 85-90 should be a given

Embargos are up on 9/20 at 6AM PDT / 9AM ET. Expect the reviews to go live then.

Awesome. Still enough time to pre-order and pre-load Ultimate, if the FFB turns out to have been bugged in demo.

Honestly FH2 already deserved a 90+ metacritic.An 85/90+ metacritic would of course be nice but for me the player sentiment is more important!

Are we guessing the meta score already?
88
Absolutely.
And FH1 deserved even more, but for some reason racing games can't reach these scores anymore.

I didn't reveal anything in the game so no XD. But yeah I won't be spoiling anything before 20th. Currently it is also a very early impression, things could change.
Helios is there somewhere I can look to see the details on cross platform play between Win10 and XB1 versions of FH3? At E3 it was announced that it would support Campaign Co-op but on the T10 forums one staff member said everything is crossplay.

What well thats what he means.
Looking forwards to him saying the graphics are meh in his Horizon 3 review lol
Coop and cross play. Yes.
On the Forza forums a T10 staff member said co-op and competitive modes were crossplay.
I don't understand your question. The game is completely cross play and has coop as well as competetive MP modes.
Yeah, but when was full crossplay announced (competitive and co-op)? It's awesome, but is there an article I missed?
Fecking hell 2/10 wtf, obviously the guy has some sort of agenda to give it such a ridiculous score.

Am I crazy or is the steering heavier in this? There's turns I feel like I should be able to make, yet I go off the road. I know they're pushing drifting a bit more, but idk. May just need time to adjust.
iirc they announced it when they announced the game at the MS E3 presser.
No you're not crazy, it is heavier than FH2.

I miss my wheel and cockpit setup the most when games like this come around
Still, I'm glad I have an Elite controller for some reasonably nice manual gear changing!

Just played through the demo for the first time and I'm loving it.
I seem to say it each time a new Forza Horizon is released but Playground Games games seem to be leagues ahead of Turn 10 in making fantastic games. I really miss the old games and I know that F6 was a major improvement over F5 but I do think these games have now surpassed what they offer.
I'd even go as far as saying that the really bright, arcade stylings to the cars looks so much more at home in these games.
I have to decide now whether I'm going top upgrade to the full game, I would normally be very happy to pre-order this but I do have a few other things pre-ordered and they'll probably be where my gaming goes over the next few months. I'll definitely pick it up at some point though as it should be fantastic.

I would imagine it doesn't make any sense at all when you reduce what I said to a portion of a single sentence and by doing that completely removing the context of what I actually said.
I was specifically talking the Horizon games in relation to the main franchise. I'm aware that neither team works in isolation and that technology will of course be shared between the two studios.
Now, you may not agree with my opinion in relation to whether you think that Playground Games make the more enjoyable games or not. That's OK, I have no issues with people having a different opinion to me, that's the way these things work.
