I can't knock Simplygames services, ordered this game 3pm yesterday and it came today. Looking forward to playing this as I loved the other 2 games in the series.

Anybody know how this game runs on PC, I've looked on the Windows Store and the comments are full of 1* ratings, with issues from game won't start to severe stuttering!

I know nobody gives 2 ***** about the PC version but if you have the equipment then why not use it, the cool thing about Xbox Play Anywhere is that if it is trashed on PC we have the X1 as back-up lol.

I've finally bought FH3, just waiting on the download...

Went ahead and bought the digital version& it's not working!! It download & installs 50.8MB and that's it. Deleted it and tried again but same thing happens. 😡

Seems to be a few people with same issue here http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/tu...-update.aspx?=
Microsoft haven't overwritten the pre-order place holder with the actual game according to someone on that thread.

D'oh

Apparently it runs like shit. (maybe a strong wording but you know what the master race are like )
I bought the hard copy as I rarely buy digital, so haven't had the chance to test it myself.

I don't have a PC but I've heard it runs better in high settings rather than medium or lower.

I heard the other way.
It doesn't hold a steady 1080/60 on high even with decent hardware.

What can I say about this game?! Its worth every penny's on X1, not so on PC, dont know how MS expect to win some PC gamers over with crappy ports, this and Quantum Break. tut tut

Superb sense of speed if you're driving a super car, great fun all round and looks gorgeous.

If I was to nit pick, when a race starts you just get Go!, no count down! The number of times I've lost a second or 2 at the start, they've broken racing game protocol by having no count down haha.

This game in HDR is jaw dropping as well as upscaled to 4k. If games look like this with that then yes please. Agree about the start. So many times I've been caught out.

Some very nice looking cars in this pack.
I hope they will bring trucks in one of the car packs.

What's the point in choosing people to be in your line up? I'm sure it said at the start of the game but I can't remember. Also, the blue prints. Do you need to do these or are they just an extra thing for creating challenges for your friends list?

First expansion has been released today: Blizzard Mountain http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us...untain_Release

It costs £16.99 or you can get the season expansion pass which will include another expansion.
I just found the expansion pass on sale on Xbox.com for £20.99 instead of £29 so I've just grabbed it

I was reading on IGN earlier that it looks like the Porsche licence deal with EA ends at the end of the month so maybe they are going to do a VW Group add on.
