The Environment:
While Forza game environments had always been stunning, Playground Games took a lot more than what everybody will call an effort by putting 12K HDR Sky in the game. So yes, if those skies look real and stunning, they are real ones. When driving towards the Sun, racing through the beaches, they all feel real. This was all captured in Australia. The team spent a lot of time shooting roads, mapping them to get you the real feel of all the curves, which brings you an immersive experience.
Those who are keen on how much FPS Forza Horizon clocks are 30 FPS, and it pretty rocks solid on this. Looking at car engines’ details, the environment, and weather effects, I don’t see anything to complain about. Though on PC, it can be pushed higher depending on your PC configuration, I have no idea about it.
Illegal Racing and Hunt for Hidden Cars
Apart from traditional festival racing, the game also includes ‘illegal’ races you will discover when finding new roads. Most of them happen at night when the weather is intense, and the racing will rush adrenaline.
So we talked about finding new roads, and they don’t go without incentives. The game will hint about hidden cars, and you will have to put them to find them. They are mostly hidden in barns, lookout for abandoned houses. This is huge fun for those who would like to roam around the map.
As you discover new cars, do make sure to check out the internal details which are rendered to actual. Its feats for eyes if you always wanted to see details of your favorite cars.
Horizon Festival: You are the Boss
While Horizon Festival remains the center of the game, the biggest change is how you wow the crowd this time. Instead of taking part in the already existing festivals, you are the boss.
How you play the game, how well you do, and deciding to organize it decides how the festival grows to make it bigger and better. The game no longer limits you to tell you how to play, but as you find new roads, you unlock a new feature that allows you to decide the race details, the cars that center.
The best part of the game is that it makes you roam around the map as per your wish, find new drift zones to accumulate points, and even jump over the cliff to pull off the greatest stunts. So when playing the game, you cite some danger signs, try to overrun it.
As you grow fans, you will also have to increase the level of that site you are holding your festival and then move on to the next. This might sound a little odd right now, but it’s fun.
Add your Friends Drivatars:
Drivatars are virtual AI opponents who are made out of real world players. They play with the same style actual players will, giving you the feel of real players.
In Forza Horizon 3, you have the ability to add your friends Drivatars as your team member. The game AI suggests which driver suits your team, and to add them, you will need to race against them, win over and then hire them for your team.
Once again, your driver level goes up as you race more, win more, do more crazy stuff to earn XP. As you hit a new level, you’ll get prize spins to reward you with free stuff.
Groove Music Integration:
Xbox One now supports background music, and Forza 3 now integrates Groove Music as one of the radio stations, which needs to be unlocked.
This is huge for those who always wanted to listen to their music style instead of random radio running in the background all the time.
That said, Forza Horizon 3 is one of the best car racing games around right now and powered by Xbox Play Anywhere, you can play it on your Windows 10 PC as well. Buy using the link below:
