    Cool. I've been enjoying using my wheel again lately but Dirt Rally doesn't have paved tracks and the engine sounds in Project Cars frankly suck. I'm hoping FM7 will be legit. That screenshot looks great!

    Better question: WIll Forza Motorsport 7 be a Scorpio launch title?

    ...

    Because if it is, I need to start saving up for the Ultimate Edition, a Scorpio, and a 4K TV now.

    does it kinda bum anyone else out that 7 is coming out "already". a forza game every year, i don't know. horizon 3 and 6 are already both amazing, like just make more content for those and don't make me buy an entirely new forza 7 so soon.

    Forza Horizon 3 Porsche Pack

    https://youtu.be/SMGFYH8kvfg

    2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS
    2016 Porsche Cayman GT4
    2017 Porsche Panamera Turbo
    1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS
    1995 Porsche 911 GT2
    1955 Porsche 550A Spyder
    1960 Porsche 718 RS 60

    This kicks off a new 6 Year Partnership Between Forza and Porsche, more info in the link.

    It is $7 US (remember, this is the first pack outside the Car Pass window), out today.

    It also kicks off a special schedule of Porsche Forzathon events for the rest of the month (from the link):
    Porsche + #Forzathon
    The Porsche Car Pack isn’t the only way we’re celebrating the new partnership between Forza and Porsche. Starting this week, we’ll be serving up brand new #Forzathon events each week, with amazing Porsche reward cars! Here’s a sneak peek at the events and cars available in April:

    Event #1
    Basket of Goodies
    14th – 17th April
    Win the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 and more!

    Event #2
    Show Us What You’re Working With
    21st – 24th April
    Take home the Porsche 959 and more!

    Event #3
    Horizon Secret Service
    28th April – 1st May
    Compete and win the Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3 and more!

    One-Day Event
    Putting on a show
    April 18th
    Win the Porsche 918 Spyder and more!

    Note that you don’t need to own the Porsche Car Pack to get these special #Forzathon reward cars. Just like any #Forzathon event, all you need to do is complete the event and the reward car can be yours.

    Most excitingly, this means the 2nd Expansion Pack will not be a Porsche pack!!!

    Man, I just can't wait to take those Porsches off-road /s

    They couldn't even give us the Porsche Cayenne in a game that is mostly off-road racing?

    In fact, for microsoft, given they're about to launch an upgraded version of their console, this might be the worst time to have a break ever.

    Also, skipping a hardware launch year with an exclusive franchise that is tailor made to show off said hardware would be beyond stupid.

    I personally just want a break and for them to focus on more content for their 2 great games. obviously it makes sense that 7 is launching with scorpio

    Anyone else on PC get the game resetting their graphics settings? I don't know if it's after patches or what, but it's every couple weeks or so. When I launch it's like "Oh, we recommend you run on MEDIUM" even though my system never dips below 55 fps on Ultra. So then I have to reset it and sit through the "Optimizing for your PC" load.

    Also a photo

    I told you it wasn't going to be Porches. I knew it would have to push some boundaries. I didn't expect those boundaries would be demolished with all the speed and recklessness of a Hennessey Venom. :P

    That's....weird. Are you maybe thinking of when you bought it during the holiday sale when it got discounted to $25 or whatever? I have went with the Ultimate Edition, and I'm not seeing a discount on the Expansion Pass.

    nope, ultimate edition owners 100% got a discount if you bought the expansion pass buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut it might have only been when it was first announced (I feel like I vaguely remember that which i why i bought it)

    edit - http://news.xbox.com/2016/12/13/forza-horizon-3-blizzard-mountain-expansion-now-available/
    Blizzard Mountain is available separately for $19.99 or as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Expansion Pass, which gives players discounted access to two expansions for $34.99. Ultimate Edition owners receive a $10 discount on the Forza Horizon 3 Expansion Pass if purchased before the end of 2016.
    so ya it was $25 and I jumped on it while I could

    Reminder to everyone that, yes, it is still like Blizzard Island, the Game Update is not the Expansion, the Expansion has to be downloaded as well (so for Expansion Pass owners, go to the store and it should just have an "Install" button or Manage Game on the Forza Horizon 3 icon should have it listed).

    Yeah was just coming here for that reason. It's 2017 but this is still pants-on-head stupid; in game it offers Hot Wheels and puts it on the map, I say yes! and drive there. Then it says "oh you want to install it?" So I say "Install" in the game. It asks for my XBL password and... then the dialog goes away and does nothing. Doesn't tell me anything, just goes away. 0 feedback or instruction. Had to come launch the Store app, go find the expansion, and then there was an install button. If the button in the game isn't going to do anything, don't put the button there!

    Crikey!

    Thank you uncle Eclibul. I wonder if someone in the UX design department just hates their job and is seeing how many terrible things they could make before someone decides to get rid of them.

    I'll admit that I'm not really tempted. Horizon just isn't doing it for me on the "drive with other people" front. I still think it was a phenomenal experience, but I'm kinda tired of how the current iteration of the Forza engine handles cars. I don't feel rewarded at all in Horizon because "driving well" barely exists and gives you nothing for doing it. Compounded by the fact that "tuning well" makes absurd rocket cars and it's not really my taste at the moment. Like ... moreso for the locked 30 second EOR timer. I don't mind racing a few people at the back, but it's not fun when you don't finish 50% of the events in a night either.
