Looks great.

It's been rumoured for a while, so good to see it confirmed. I bought an Xbox because of Horizon 2, so I'm really looking forward to it. I just hope that the story mode has a bit more depth to it - online does nothing for me.

[TheLuke]

Looks very good.

The story mode is different this time, you control and host the festival and have to make descisions on where to take it and what events are on, in your aim to gain fans and become the biggest festival in the world.

Sounds interesting.

I was hoping it would be set in Japan, but never mind. Loved 2 so am excited for this

[kowalski655]

This looks awesome
Some more gameplay here:Auction House returns
And a look at the map,twice the size of FH2 apparently.
Jut watch out for hitting the roos!

Looking forward to this, FH2 is brilliant, I still play it regularly.

[Rod200SX]

Looks quite good. so long as there's some challenging roads (not 170mph absolutely everywhere like FH2) again I'll be happy.

Played the first one when I had an Xbox, glad to see Microsoft have realised they have a few million extra customers using windows. Will be getting this on the PC, I hope they allow 3rd party controllers/wheels.

[ajprice]

Xbox version will be limited to 30fps as FH2 was, PC version won't be limited in fps or resolution http://www.godisageek.com/2016/06/forza-horizon-3-...

+1

I went for the PS4 over the Xbox One, mainly because it is the better system overall. I'm glad I kept my PC, this is looking rather spectacular, good to see MS are making a push into the PC market again.

Great game FH2, I dread to think how many hours I have wasted pissing about in cars taking photos, especially in the rain:-

[TommoAE86]

As this is coming out on PC I'll be getting it, I bought a 2nd hand 360 just to play 2

[littlepaul]

Having pre-ordered this I cant wait for it to be out. Like many others I have wasted hours on fh2

[Captain Benzo]

i don't think i have wasted any time on FH2, it has been ~100hours of pure entertainment.

tuning a VW bus with a twin-turbo V8 and then drifting the streets of Nice was comedy gold.

the game was borderline perfect for me, I cant wait for 3.

I'm still slowly working my way through every single championship (on about 103 of 160 now) and still love driving around the game world. Only minor nitpicks were how the road trips between locations did gets a bit dull after a while, and it was a shame you played as generic bloke rather than being able to create your own character
