I think i'll leave the demo unless you get something which carries over, i'd rather go in without eyes-on previously. Forza is one of the very few games i trust the developers not to strawberry float up so have no qualms about having preordered the ultra edition and going in sight-unseen.

Unless you're planning on buying the PC version, in which case something that makes sure you can run the game would be appreciated.

I would expect the demo would be similar to the demo they had at Gamescom.

The M12S Warthog CST will be available at launch for Forza Horizon 3, and will be sent as a free download to everyone who has played either Halo 5: Guardians or Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Xbox One. Eligible players will receive codes to download the Warthog via an Xbox Live Message, and codes will begin to be sent out during the week of September 5. In addition, players who have not played an Xbox One Halo game will still have the chance to earn the Warthog via a special #Forzathon event coming to Forza Horizon 3 in October.

Awesome, this was a forzavista car in Motorsport 4 so it's cool that we'll get to throw it around the australian outback too. I hope there are a few visual options for things like a gun turret etc.

EDIT: Also PC specs are up:

CPU i7 3820 @ 3.6GHz
GPU NVIDIA GTX 970 or NVIDIA GTX 1060
AMD R9 290X or AMD RX 480
VRAM 4GB
RAM 12GB
Hard Drive Type HDD
Available Space 55 GB
Resolution 1920 x 1080
Windows Version Windows Anniversary Edition 64-bit 14393.101

I think i'll stick to the xbone for this. Even though i'll be able to play it on PC, it'll run like garbage. At least it'll have cross-play and all that.

I've definitely played Halo 5 and the MCC, so I look forward to my code. I preloaded this today, I'm not sure i'll try the demo as I want to go into it fresh, unless there's some benefit for trying the demo first.

I'm kinda in the same boat, Horizon 2 was so good that I want this one to blow me away day one.

Well this game is strawberry floating glorious. Looks fantastic, sounds great, loving it. It does the odd thing that codemasters games used to do where you can chose a nickname the yuppie prick festival staff will call you by or your real name, which sounds weird when they address you by name.

I think the first game has a memory leak. It's almost unplayable after a few races. And cloud saves don't seem to work :(

can't get video highlights embedded on here http://player.twitch.tv/?video=v89022063

I've noticed the first one slowing down after a while and none of the online stuff working, but tbh i probably won't go back to it much if at all after this comes out.

Some other people have had the same problem, apparently the forthcoming dashboard update fixes it.
