Forza Horizon 3 - Hype Thread

Its 10/10 game as we know points will be deducted for it been a xbox exclusive.

ibtimes gave it a 2/5... hopefully they are not counted on metacritic or lose their right to be. That is click bait if I've ever seen it.

9.5 IGN, sounds like its the best racing game he's ever played :

"The Verdict

Forza Horizon 3 is a masterclass in open-world racing and bigger and better than its excellent predecessor across the board. It looks fantastic, the car selection and customisation is second to none, and the size and variety of the sprawling Australian outback is magnificent. Above all, Horizon 3 never loses sight of the fact that tearing through postcard-perfect locations should be fun, and it puts the tools in our hands to keep it that way, always. This is the racing game I’ve been waiting for, and it's officially my favourite thing on four wheels. A fair dinkum triumph, mates.

"

It's getting impressive reviews.

The racing of the gen might be here.

So glad it did well.

40/100 i told you some sites are in love with Sony.

IGN's 9.5 review:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/09/20/forza-horizon-3-review

Mostly seeing over 90 score reviews. Polygon gave it an 85, but thats not bad i believe they gave FH2 a 6 or 7

I've never heard of them until now. I hope the clicks is worth it for them because giving a game that is getting 9/10 on average everywhere else a 40/100 is a good way to kill credibility. That is a score reserved for broken games.

Polygon sucks a$$ !

And apparently some website has given it a 4 :|

"Massive, full and with a list of things to do which borders upon incessant, Forza Horizon 3 is a driving game both without direction and made by a studio seemingly – understandably – bored with cars. It isn't wholly different or worse than its predecessors, but after four years of these games, and with titles like DiRT Rally rediscovering the fundamental, basic thrills of racing simulations, Horizon 3 feels tired."

9 at cowspot

Tormy was the reviewer I just know it. lololol :P

@kvally: Hahah wow lol....see that's why I never had any expectations of Metacritic scores, you have stuff like that ....I wonder what racing games he does like, if any

Got a 9 here if anyone hadn't seen it yet. Seems to be getting really good reviews and worth a buy if racers are your thing.

Omg its getting higher ratings than uncharted 4.

9.5 at ign 9 here

this things a AAAE this is huge xbox is back

So when it comes to PC? Serious question.

Just as I thought, mugged by GS, should have got the 10 !!!! :P

Flop!! The real hype was 10/10

Anyways I think lems paranoia and whining about this being cowspot can be put to rest. Their machine is just devoid of quality exclusives, deal with it.

The Flop streak ENDS NOW.

Watcha gonna do now Cows?

Forza shits on any racer on PS4.

LOL , this review is literally preposterous

Screw MC with its joke websites.

9/10 ain't quality to you? You must think Bloodborne sucks too then.

Still can't edit the OP for whatever reason. Hmph. :/

That reviewer doesn't understand the purpose of the Horizon series. It's not a sim!

From the review,


"DiRT Rally gave its full attention to cars, race tracks and the intricacies of driving. Forza Horizon 3, by contrast, with its superficial and jarring extra features, is an attempt to shore up what Playground seemingly regards as a dead game genre."

Go play Dirt Rally then, Edward.

Same as X1, Sep 27th

Hype achieved!! My prediction was right! Hell yes! Can't wait for this game.

@GoldenElementXL:

Eh, that just can't be since he'd have to know the FM series is the sim series. I dunno, I get the feeling this gen some of these sties exist just to manipulate the meta score.

Also from that IBT review.

"Playground Games seems to be bored with Forza, and who could blame it? Evidently a talented studio, by now Playground must have its collective mind on different projects. Such an ambitious game-maker, the one to transform a stalwart racing franchise into something so colourful and fresh, surely doesn't want to make Forza forever."

How is this in a review? This speculation has nothing to do with reviewing a game.


And this,


"At first glance, one may be tempted toward sympathy. After so many years of video games refining and reheating driving simulations, is there anything left to do with mere cars? Perhaps nowadays perfunctory bells and whistles like Horizon's are the best and most we can expect from a racing game. But then DiRT Rally, released earlier this year by Codemasters (literally Playground's closest competitor since both studios are based in Warwickshire) demonstrated just how possible it is, even in 2016, to make the supposedly exhausted racing game still feel complex and exciting."

I'm gonna go ahead a spread some speculation myself. Edward Smith either LOVES Dirty Rally, (he mentions the game multiple times in the FH3 review) or he is close to someone at Codemasters.

Its 89 after 33 reviews on mc with the ibtimes troll review counted. Could have a shot at a 90. Probably would be a 90+ if not for them.

@NathanDrakeSwag: Happy to see your support with Microsoft now!

@GoldenElementXL: That ibt guy might be on sony's payroll to write hit job pieces. You never know in this industry. Maybe he wanted hits or clickbait and make money that way hopefully his scores don't count on metacritic or legit places.

I said it's a flop not that it ain't quality. I'll play it on PC :D

@mjorh: If you get the Ultimate version, you actually get it on the 23rd. Three days and it's fucking on!!!

Hype met! Congrats to MS.

Hype was 9. C'mon it's not a flop. It's ok...

Super cannot wait... Gonna grab my X360 controller with some driving beers and run that thing at 60FPS at 4K next weekend!

Yeah, i'm tight on money atm, but i'll get it down the line.

It's been a long time since i've been waiting for such a great sim-cade racing.

9/10 is just ok game, you guys are hilarious. Its at 90 metacritic right now. (44 reviews so far) That person who rated FH3 a 4/10 should be fired.

I didn't mean that the game was "ok", but that the situation of MS getting a AAA game is ok. There's no need for this.

Should be a 10/10 :P.....I can't wait to fire this up on the PC ( see if I can get 4K running smooth ) and on the One S to check out the HDR.

Hmm might be persuaded to buy it now, due to the great reviews

Looks like I picked the right racing game to jump back into. Haven't played a racing game since full auto but after seeing Forza Horizon at E3, it looked fun so I'm ready to start racing again.

90 mc after 44 reviews.

Nice it got a 9!!!! Definitely buying!

@loe12k: calm down and take off that tin foil hat brother. Plus it's not exclusive

@FastRobby: That's how I feel right now, and I'm not a huge racing game fan.

@BigShotSmoov007: you didn't play Forza 6?? It's amazing.

Turn 10/playground games is MS best Studio confirmed

Fantastic scores, your move gran turismo

Their move was delaying GT Sport indefinitely.

@NathanDrakeSwag: yeah lol, well a delayed game will eventually turn good
