Under "PR stunts" you've got old favorites like the speed trap and the speed zones, aka drive like a complete lunatic and see how fast you can go. When you unlock a new route, the new Blueprints feature allows you to decide on the race details, and the cars that can enter. And you're no longer limited to what the game tells you to play. There are several race modes returning like the classic circuit, point-to-point sprint and cross-country, while you've also got a mix of new stuff to do to help gain fans. Much of the structure will be familiar to players of the previous iteration of Horizon: you move from location to location taking on different tasks to push your progression forward. The decisions you make have a direct impact on how the festival grows and your performances behind the wheel bring in fans to help make it bigger and better.īlueprints let you put your own personal stamp on the racing
The biggest change is that you're no longer just a racer brought in to wow the crowds you're now the festival boss, the head honcho. The center of the game, the Horizon festival, is bigger and better for this year's installment. The Playground Games team spent a heap of time on location scanning roads, buildings, forests and the like to produce the most realistic, immersive Australia they could. The scenery is all based on real-world Australia, too. And that horrible time to drive when the road is wet and the sun is bright, making everything so shiny and blinding. Water effects are sublime and this time around we've huge puddles and even the sea to contend with. It's also a giant light source that touches everything beneath it, creating dynamic, realistic effects as the cars glisten in the sun and the light breaks through the trees.ĭay rolls in to night and the weather can change at the drop of a hat. Oh yes, the sky was captured in 12K HDR to be included in Horizon 3. The sky is a 12K HDR genuine Australian light source The map is twice as big as the one found in Horizon 2, it's more detailed and visually engaging than ever before and it has a real Australian sky. With no legacy support for Xbox 360, Playground Games went wild. Make no mistake, it's still instantly recognizable as a Forza Horizon game, but it truly is the biggest one yet.
