The Xbox One demo for this game is now available so I just thought I would take this chance to create a general thread for the game.
The videos I have seen for this game so far look and I look forward to trying the demo later once it has downloaded.

Started downloading now, only getting 10mbs, might be finished by the time I finish work in the morning.

I am still going to hold of buying the game until I have gone 4k, either with scorpio or next years pc's. Also next years 4k TV's as well, looks like we might have a standard there as well.

This is going to be a long wait for games for me, I have pre ordered destiny roi to pass me by. Not sure I can be strong for mass effect, halo wars etc

i cant imagine that Forza Horizon 3 will be upgraded to 4k anyway, not with the likeness of forza 7 out next year

The PC version should be 4k? Easy port for Scorpio if so. Looks like the PC demo drops tomorrow?

Finally downloaded and I have given it a quick go must say playground games seem to have made another winner here.
I look forward to getting the Ultimate edition on release.

I've tried to stay away from looking at this game too much as I found that last year I had hit Forza fatigue but I jumped back into Horizon 2 the other day and looks like I'll end up getting this on release. It will be Ultimate Edition again for me.

Not bothering with the demo this time around. Playground have earned my trust and I don't want to do too much racing until it comes out.
Ultimate edition ordered.
Haven't checked the Forza forums in a while. Wonder if they'll re-jig the reward tiers again?

Is HDR turned on in the demo? If so, how's it looking for those that can use it?

If you haven't seen them yet these are the rewards cars for FH3.

Tier 3: 2003 Nissan Fairlady Z
Tier 4: 2016 Audi V10 plus
Tier 5: 2012 BMW M5
Tier 6: 2009 Ferrari 458 Italia
Tier 7: 2013 SRT Viper GTS
Tier 8: 2013 McLaren P1
Tier 9: Lamborghini Hurácan LP 610-4
Tier 10: 2017 Ford GT

If you’ve played select past Forza games on Xbox One, you’ll also receive a free car in Forza Horizon 3 for each of the games you’ve played:
Forza Horizon 2: 2014 Local Motors Rally Fighter

If you’ve been a Forza VIP member in either Forza Motorsport 6 or Forza Horizon 2, you’ll also receive one of the most exciting European supercars of recent years: the 2015 Koenigsegg One:1

That's a nice selection to get me started.

Also if you have played Halo 5 or Halo Master Chief Collection you should have received/receive a DLC code for the Warthog in this game.

I really trying to get to tier 8 at the moment but am about 490 point away and most of the missing achievements are all multiplayer ones.

Some of those can be done solo versus AI. I did that with F4 as everyone had moved on.

I can't get the cheevo for Unicorn on F2 because the auction house is closed down. And the DLC for F3 is no longer on the marketplace. (but now I've moved on from F3 I wouldn't go back and pay for DLC just for some reward points)

All in, I'm about 500pts off max level. Still need a few more points from APEX. Doubt I'll get max points from it though.

Bucket List is part of the rewards for FH3 and I never got around to doing all of them in FH2.

Well I bit the bullet last night pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition.
I can't wait for it to unlock on Friday.

While not a surprise IGN have given the game a 9.5: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2016/09/2...rizon-3-review

I like the sound of being able to stream your own music. I can now feel as if I'm driving in real life with my Ipod collection playing

I've quite liked the radio stations in the two previous games. But having that option is nice.

You can play with us on Windows 10, if you have a capable PC?
