I made the Reliant Supervan slightly faster and more drivable and managed to take it round a lap of the goliath circuit (a race which goes round the entire map). I thought it needed a knockoff Ken Block/Only Fools and Horses hybrid paintjob complete with replacement Lovely Jubbly and Plonker sponsors modelled after Rocket Bunny and Hoonigan logos:

Would the season pass get you this? I think forza would do snow driving really well.

Have you got the season pass Trelliz?

The season pass doesn't cover the expansions unfortunately, although if you have the vip thing the expansion pass is a tenner off until the end of the year. its shady, money-grabbing and awful but i love them cars and totally get my money's worth :wub:

As someone who prefers offroad stuff to drifting or more nearly-identical supercars a winter expansion is right up my street.

New Barn Find

In last week’s edition of the Week in Review, Mechberg teased a new addition coming to the game in November, something that we’d never done in the Forza Horizon series. Today we’ve got a bit more detail on that new addition. Alongside our new car pack arriving on Tuesday, we’re also adding a brand new barn find to the game! We’ll let the actual make and model stay a surprise for now but, look for the new barn find to be available for players once they have received the new content update in Forza Horizon 3, and after they have discovered at least the first barn find in the base game. Happy hunting!

Finally got all the bonus boards so fast travel is now free and with all the wheelspins I got the Dodge Viper ACR Horizon Edition, which was almost completely undrivable until I swapped out the drivetrain for AWD and boosted the engine to make up for it.

I'd love to download this on PC however even smaller 1GB shitty free games just stop downloading part way through and despite following all the suggestions. No way am I going out of my tree trying to get it to download a 60GB+ game if its going to just hang part way through.

Downloaded the PC demo, and it's got horrible input lag. I even turned off the fram rate cap and v-sync, as I read suggested online, and while that improved it, it's still present, and makes the whole experience pretty horrible.

The game auto-detected my settings as medium, but frame rates were choppy as anything. Bumping it down to low didn't seem to fix this either.

A really bad port, basically. No wonder they held the PC demo back, because I can't see anyone wanting to spend full whack on this mess once they've actually tried it.

I've found a thread on the official forums made by the most pedantic and joyless pedant I've ever seen:

A literal fun vacuum wrote:So what's this game about then? I mean, what's the point of it? It can't be about a real world driving experience because there are cars available in the game that aren't allowed on public roads and I can do things that just aren't possible in the real world like drive a Lamborghini on the beach or dive a La Ferrari off road through a forest. These cars and most of the others in the game simply wouldn't work in these environments, never mind being able to go as fast as they could on a race track. So is it, as some have said, about the freedom to drive anything anywhere, the ultimate petrol head fantasy of just you, your favourite cars, your best friends and the open road? I don't think it can be because if you were going to make a game based on that petrol head fantasy why would include traffic to get in the way and spoil everything? There is a lot of immature antisocial stuff going on like wreckage skills (because driving through fences requires so much 'skill') and street racing (been there, done that), so maybe this game is for all those 'hoonigans' out there. There's not much new stuff that wasn't in FH2 and what new features there are have been blatantly copied from other games, so I can only assume that this game exists purely to look pretty and make loads of money for Microsoft.

Winter expansion called Blizzard Mountain, Read all about it here

- 50 new events, new bucketlists, new event types (hillclimb, descent, blizzard racing)
- snow tires
- 8 new cars (rally cars, Ken Block's newest Ford Focus beast machine, trophy trucks etc) and a new barn find
- Part of the Expansion pass NOT car pass
- Out December 13

As someone who is way more interested in building beastly offroad cars than drifting or yet more near-identical supercars this is brilliant. I've got lots of paint designs to bring from other games in mind for the new vehicles already.

I think I bought the Ultimate Edition so I could play it a week early - I convinced myself it was good value as I would have the expansions, too - I'm a bit miffed they're not included. Seems a bit harsh.
