Nice addition to the roster. Blizzard pack and second dlc : 3 screenshots is better than nothing but i'm still expecting a little more, maybe a trailer, before the 28%/off ends ( it was said earlier before 2017 as of 31/12 but they changed it to the release of the blizzard dlc so we can't know either what the second pack involves....i expect a big pack of Porsche but only god knows ) so you pay for the blizzard dlc and a surprise that i don't know if i'm gonna like, pretty lame. But again Forza Horizon 3 was a spectacular game (still is) and they offered me way more than i expected, so yeah..... Take my money Playground and Turn 10 ( Oh man 180 cad$ for a game is still goddamn expensive if you think of it ).

Where is this 28% discount offer? Am not seeing this on the Windows 10 app store

Those DLCs aren't really worth the price outside US.

If anyone is still interested in playing FM6 and FH3 on PC with your Logitech Driving Force GT I might have a solution.
I wrote a small application which switches degrees of rotation programmatically (and doesn't rely on :Logitech drivers), since to my knowledge there is no button combination to achieve that,
unlike for Driving Force Pro which I own. I expect the app to work on Driving Force GT too, but if it doesn't it is an easy fix, I will just need someone with the GT wheel
and it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to solve the problem.
Instructions:
1. Download the application from http://www.mediafire.com/file/5bsu5ja1t9fxfzn/LOGI900.zip
2. Extract the contents of the archive (important!)
3. Run LOGI900.exe (no need to run as administrator)
4. If your wheel is connected and running on generic driver, the program should recognize it, then just press any key to continue.
5. IF everything works out as planned, you should hear a click in your wheel and a "Success!" message in application window.
6. Play FM6 and FH3 with 900 degrees of rotation.
If you do get an error "Something went wrong", it means that Driving force GT does not recognize the command my application is sending.
To fix that, please contact me by mail melbardism@gmail.com and we'll fix it.
Have fun!

Looks like the expansion's Barn Find has been spoiled already :|

Other than that I can't wait to get it (though I just got the French expansion DLC for ETS2 so it might have to wait for awhile)

Turn 10 Studios have released the Blizzard Mountain Expansion Pack for their Forza Horizon 3 title, adding to the game snow, ice, extreme elevations and blizzards (of course) for the first time in the history of the Forza Horizon franchise.

Included in the latest expansion come eight new cars and trucks as well as new mountain race events such as a Hill Climb mode and Blizzard Races, alongside the usual selection of brand new Rivals events and achievements to unlock.

Highlights from the new expansion include the Ken Block liveried 2016 Ford GYMKHANA 9 Focus RS RX car as well as the new mountain location, extreme weather conditions and the 2016 variant of the legendary Subaru WRX STI. Additional to the confirmed new location, events, cars and weather conditions comes another mystery car "barn find" hidden within the new terrain. No details of which car this will be, however feel free to post pictures below if and when you find it...

Inbefore they say that the game engine couldn't support snow, but now it does

Is the car handling in this and Forza Apex alike? If I test Apex, will I get a good representation on how the cars feel in Horizon 3?

For me, they handle differently. The cars are much easier to slide around corners in FH3 than in Apex. Also, braking is not as realistic in Horizon. I just played the expansion pack, it's quite impressive.

Oh I swear... if I see just one more of those "hoonigan" and "Rockstar" combo liveries... I'm gonna throw up all over my monitor. I've never heard of that bloke Block before start playing Dirt series, never heard of Rockstar drink before the same series. Now feel like they center of the universe. I can imagine the americans feel like we all love anything that comes from US but read my lips... we have no clue.
And we don't care.
I love football though. Yes, us version of it.

Well, it seams quite profitable for the energy drink-companies to sponsor race cars/bikes. Monster, Rockstar and ofc, Red Bull, who seams to have all the money in the world since they sponsor teams all over the world... But yea, quite sick of it as well. But they, as long as they pay drivers I want to see racing, I'm happy

Okay, is there any game to compare FH3 to? I'm on the fence on this one. On one side, arcade racers are great fun when well done and there is a okay-ish feeling when driving, on the other hand arcade done bad is the worst. Like some of the NFS games, where the drifting just "snapped" like grinding in the Tony Hawks game. Like this

 

[exbagboy]

There is a demo for both PC and Xbox One if you want to try it. It's more arcadey than Horizon but it's the same physics engine with more grip.

 

[fastfab]

You mean it's more aracdey than Forza 6 i think ^^.

But anyway yes there is a good demo on both platform.
If I would make comparison, Forza Horizon handling is not close to NFS but more to PGR serie. The feeling while driving the 360 Stradale through the street of Firenze in PGR2 and Nice in Forza Horizon 2 where shockingly alike.

I would add that for both Apex and Horizon, going in the video setting is somewhat mandatory to achieve 60fps even with powerfull GPU. I don't know why but if i let their dynamic algorithm manage all the setting both games stays on 30 fps mode, even if I own a fairly powerful GTX 1070. I force both game to 1080p and vsync 60fps and let everything else in dynamic, and it works just fine.

 

[Filip Carlén]

Okay, will test the demo out, didn't even realize that there was one.

I can honestly say that there is no other game out like FH3, IMHO. The drifting, if you like doing that is the best I've seen in a large scaled game like this. It doesn't snap like NFS or GRID. I wouldn't hesitate to get it. The new expansion is so well done, too.

 

[ozm8ey]

for me i'd say the cars feel like dirt 3 handling

I'm from the usa, dislike Ken Block and that showoff gymkhana crap. Many takes and switches of cams to make him look perfect, but he got his ass handed to him by another US guy, Tanner Foust- who is truly world class in rally and road racing!

US Football is ok, but the real Football in the rest of the world is better
