    FORZA HORIZON 3 IS DUE OUT IN 6 HOURS ^u^


    I just ordered the standard digital copy just now and is downloading. My Xbox 1 OS will unlock this game for me to play at 12:00am 27 September. It's Monday 26 September 6:15 pm NZ time, and am excited for this game. I know Australia is only 2 hours behind
    NZ time. It cost NZ$109. And if you buy it through Xbox Live (not disc version), the game is part of Xbox Play Anywhere which means I can play it on any Windows 10 PC, XD.

    I've tried the Demo and even I was blown away by the incredible smoothness and graphics of the game. I will stay up late and do a video of it.

    :)

  2. I say your in for a real treat.

    I've been playing the Ultimate Edition since last Friday and it really is one of the best games I've played since the XB1 was released.

    Enjoy FORZA HORIZON 3 IS DUE OUT IN 6 HOURS ^u^ :)

    Surely you could've posted about this in Old Lofty's thread? Not to nitpick, and Forza Horizon 3 is certainly worth getting excited about, but the party's already in full swing! Oh, and hopefully by the time you've made landfall in NZ, I'll have clocked
    up *all* 488 roads - going for the "I Know These Roads" achievement!

    My HP laptop has a 6th gen i5 processor, but my desktop is certainly powerful enough, I stuck the specs in my forum signature because someone joked 'i'm surprised he didn't mention his PC specs'. The CPU on my desktop is pretty bling too, it's a high end
    processor. I'm not very competitive though but won the first two races. The first race was on medium difficulty. I tuned down the second to easy but I should have stuck it on medium or hard. I might even consider getting Xbox Scorpio. Since I got this game
    digitally, I can enjoy the benefits of playing it on multiple devices with Xbox Play Anywhere and not having to worry about a disc reader or EB Games/JB Hi Fi which don't even open until 9am. I've noticed a couple of my friends have the game. My Xbox 1 Dashboard
    said the game can be downloaded but will only be playable after 12:01 am.

    And it's so cool to have games which don't place emphasis on driving on the right too, like Americans, and GTA V and TDU2 etc. And the map and driving on the left feels so much closer to home. Even the houses and the roads and the road signage looks Australian/NZ.
    It's something I will definitely be going over and over about. Drive on the left? Feels..... different for an Xbox game. I also saw oncoming vehicles on the right. I guess it's something Americans (I don't mean to be discriminate) will have to get us to. Cuz
    I'm kind of sick of being the one who has to get use to driving on the right. To my knowledge, there are hardly any games on Xbox where you drive on the Left. And that's something i'm very proud about FH3. It's set closer to home, and we drive on the Left.
    Yes I can't keep quiet about it. WE DRIVE ON THE LEFT (lol) Americans: ok ok, we get it [attempts to drive in the game... crashes into on coming traffic.... police car pulls them over.... and shows them the road code]

    Old lofty, thanks for the positive comment.

    don't see the point in wasting loads of electricity to run a gaming rig when i can sit back and relax with a not so power hungry xbox one in the front room, ready to go at a moments notice. but played forza over the weekend and it is the best arcade/sim
    racer out there by far.

  9. Xbox One version - Great, can't fault it really performance wise, no issues.

    PC version - Oh dear, just look at the support forum over at the official website.

    At first I couldn't get the game to even load on the PC. It would crash at the opening video. I had to un-install Avast Anti-virus and reboot. When I did start I was pretty impressed, seemed run well (in a locked 30fps). Then got to the bit where you race
    the helicopter and it crashed halfway through. Apparently these random crashes are pretty common. I tried it again last night, but it had some odd issues, most notably pausing occasionally for no reason at all, very annoying.

    It tried playing it at a locked 60, but the FPS varied from 60 to 55 in places with some stuttering and more pauses than before.

    FX8350 @ 4Ghz

    8GB RAM

    GTX 970 4GB

    Built the PC myself - probably build a Core i7 6700k based machine soon though.

    I haven't tried it on PC yet. I have

    6th gen Intel Core i7-6700k (4 cores, 8 threads, 8MB cache, 4Ghz (base speed) 4.2Ghz (turbo speed) )

    16GB DDR4 RAM

    AMD R9 390 8GB@384Gb/s bandwidth 512-bit bus.

    It was the first custom desktop PC I got. Brought it early this year. I primarily game on Xbox, but I have cities skylines, the sims 4, planet coaster, and recore through Xbox Play Anywhere.

    The graphics look so good on Xbox 1, I've (so far) refrained from playing it on PC.

    Yeah with that sig you'd never know.

    Anyway, I had another play with the PC version and I actually got to run pretty decent now, although it's quite odd. For some bizarre reason, the game runs smoother if I set the graphics optimisation to 'High' rather than 'Medium', that's just plain silly,
    but it works. Well it does on my rig.

    Eurogamer's 'Digital Foundry' did some high end tests (they love that) and found on their high end test rig that for some strange reason the game was running better in 4K than at 1080P!!
