PostRe: Forza Horizon 3 (XB1/Win10) - MS announce 6 year partnership with Porsche, Car Pack out now (p16)

Interestingly when this was leaked everyone thought it'd be the second expansion, however this is a car pack instead, which means the second expansion is still unknown. I'm not that bothered about Porsche so will probably leave it; I bought the porsche expansions for Horizon 2 and FM6 and barely used any of them.

Forza Horizon 3 Hot Wheels

Forza fans, your Hot Wheels fantasies are about to come true! The second Forza Horizon 3 expansion – Forza Horizon 3 Hot Wheels – arrives on May 9 exclusively on both Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs (Xbox Play Anywhere), and is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Expansion Pass. This expansion lets players travel to a brand-new location in Australia, a place where lazy Sunday drives are replaced by insane high-speed stunts on miles of looping, banking, giant iconic orange Hot Wheels tracks. Starring famous Hot Wheels vehicles like the Twin Mill, the Rip Rod, and the Boneshaker, Forza Horizon 3 Hot Wheels promises an automotive adventure unlike anything in Forza history.

Forza Horizon 3 Hot Wheels takes players to six new themed islands located off the coast of Australia; all connected by a network of Hot Wheels tracks – positioned hundreds of feet in the air – featuring classic Hot Wheels configurations like loops, corkscrews, and more. This is stunt driving at its most extreme, where you can master tracks by performing brand new Hot Wheels skills that make use of boost pads, high-bank turns, half-pipes, insane jumps, and even giant mechanical dinosaurs. If you’re looking to get creative, check out the new Stunt Swap feature to modify stunt track sections and dare your friends to try them.

Explore the world of Forza Horizon 3 Hot Wheels in an all-new campaign, completing events on your way towards the ultimate stunt-driving test, an epic Grand Finale taking place on the massive new Hot Wheels Goliath circuit. Hook up with your buddies and compete in online multiplayer racing on Hot Wheels tracks, or find out whose skills reign supreme in a brand-new Playground Arena. Along the way you’ll earn 28 new Xbox Live achievements worth 500 Gamerscore.

Get ready to explore the world of Forza Horizon 3 Hot Wheels in ten new cars, including a number of Hot Wheels’ world-famous vehicles, as well as a brand-new Barn Find just waiting to be discovered and restored.

In addition to the new Hot Wheels expansion, on May 9 we will be releasing an update for Forza Horizon 3 which includes some significant improvements for Windows 10 players. These changes include improved new support for numerous popular driving wheels, improved CPU performance, additional graphical options, and more. Look for the full list of all the improvements coming with the latest update on the day of release.

Forza Horizon 3 Hot Wheels arrives on May 9 on Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs. It is available now as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Expansion Pass or as a standalone purchase for $19.99.

This :lol: bought it the other week in the sale. Oh well at least it was discounted :fp:

This expansion looks like more of an online with friends kind of thing and I don't find Horizon 3 very enjoyable at all online, and they've mixed it with the worst aspects of the DiRT series.

I almost never play racing games online but am looking forward to this; i think they're clearly delineating horizon as the more fast and loose arm to Motorsport's more po-faced realism. As one of the few people who played trackmania turbo i'm getting the same vibe from this. Also i imagine they looked at all the stunt stuff gta has done and wanted some of that action.

I suppose an Australian GT or Targa Tasmania would have been more suited to normal Forza. Gymkhana would have been boring.

I think it looks interesting. I wonder if you can take all the other cars onto these tracks? I cant really imagine a Robin reliant defying gravity.

So i spent most of this evening restoring my xbone as a system update failed for some reason. I got into the new island and grabbed some cars for a few races, but i can see why some people don't like it. The f-zero-like tracks with boost pads etc break the 'muh realism' and immersion but i am a fun-having casual so make of that what you will.
