Microsoft vient de terminer sa conférence #E32016. On savait que la LP 770-4 était la voiture Hero-car depuis quelques mois ! On entendais dire que ça allait se passer en Australie ! Avec Forza Motorsport 6: APEX, on se doutait que Forza Horizon 3 sera prévue pour Xbox One et Windows 10. Et bien oui tout ça était couru d’avance ! Mais ce que l’on ne savait pas, c’est que le jeu allait être aussi beau et fun, en solo, en co-op, en multiplayer cross platform Xbox One & Windows 10 !? (à confirmer) Le Trailer présente des passages jour/nuit, du hors piste, des hélicoptères genre TrackMania Turbo, des sauts #Doonies, entre autres ! Le tout avec un rendu visuel absolument bluffant de réalisme ! Et déjà en voitures, il y a Audi R8, LaFerrari FXXCK!?, Nissan GT-R, BMW M4, et des véhicules 4×4 genre Monster Energy, ou encore Ariel Nomad et autres types Buggy !

Dans Forza Horizon 3, vous pourrez prendre le volant de plus de 350 véhicules, dont certains encore jamais aperçus dans un Forza, à commencer par la Lamborghini Centenario déjà présentée comme la « Hero Car » et qui se retrouve donc sur la jaquette du jeu, accompagnée du tout nouveau Ford Raptor. On retrouves des bolides autres tous aussi variés que le monde qui les entoure, comme l’Ariel Nomad, des buggys à l’image du Penhall Cholla, des véhicules tout-terrain et bien d’autres encore. (à suivre…)

Forza Horizon 3 propose plus de 350 voitures disponibles à son lancement !

Et pour vous assurer qu’il sera unique, vous aurez la possibilité de le personnaliser avec de nombreuses pièces, dont certaines tirées du monde du rallye ou du tout-terrain. Il y aura également plus de trente modèles de jantes et, pour parfaire le tout, les livrées et les réglages seront eux aussi de la partie.

Et pour la première fois, des kits « larges » seront proposés by Rocket Bunny & Liberty Walk (les vrais équipementier genre ‘Specialty Equipment Market Association’ comme dans NFS :D), histoire de donner encore un peu plus de caractère à notre auto.

Forza Horizon 3, comme ses prédécesseurs, fera la part belle aux créateurs, des peintres aux mécanicien/ingénieur/team adapte de réglages en passant par les photographes. C’est pourquoi le jeu proposera une salle des ventes dans laquelle les joueurs pourront acheter et vendre leurs voitures, leurs réglages et leurs peintures. Chaque pilote disposera aussi d’une vitrine pour exposer ses créations, et il sera même possible de s’abonner à la vitrine de vos joueurs préférés.

Le boss du Festival !

Si dans les précédents FH, vous n’étiez qu’un simple participant de l’Horizon Festival, dans Forza Horizon 3, vous en êtes le boss !

Il vous faudra prendre des décisions qui influeront directement sur le déroulement du festival, comme choisir où et quand se dérouleront les épreuves, ou encore la musique diffusée. Le but étant de gagner de plus en plus de fans jusqu’à faire de votre festival le plus populaire au monde.

Côté jeu, cela vous permet surtout de vivre une expérience à votre image et, grâce à une nouvelle fonctionnalité appelée « Horizon Blueprint », de créer votre propre gameplay et de la partager avec vos amis.

Vous pouvez ainsi choisir n’importe laquelle des centaines d’épreuves pré-conçues dans Forza Horizon 3 et les customiser avec les paramètres de votre choix : modifier l’itinéraire d’un évent en particulier, la période de la journée ou les conditions climatiques, les voitures éligibles, les restrictions pour participer à l’évènement, et bien plus encore. En plus d’un poster personnalisé, vous aurez même la possibilité de donner un nom à votre ‘event’ afin de vous assurer que vos amis le retrouveront facilement.

Pour ce qui est de l’histoire en elle-même, il vous faudra donc attirer le plus de fans possible dans votre festival.

Pour cela, vous devrez trouver les meilleurs pilotes disponibles pour vous donner un coup de main. Et c’est là que les fameux Drivatars entrent en jeu puisque vous pourrez engager (ou virer) les avatars virtuels de vos contact amis Xbox Live, afin de faire le plein de récompenses.

The Land Down Under

In Forza Horizon 3, Australia is the home of the Horizon Festival.

As one of the most beautiful and varied countries in the world, Australia makes the perfect setting for Forza Horizon 3 and the team at Playground has translated the Land Down Under into the largest and most diverse open world ever seen in the Forza Horizon series.

Just like the real place, the Australia of Forza Horizon 3 is absolutely massive – in fact, it’s is twice as big as Forza Horizon 2’s map. More importantly, Forza Horizon 3’s vision of Australia captures the spectacular natural beauty, the tremendous diversity, and the environmental variety that makes the country one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.

Australia’s natural beauty abounds in Forza Horizon 3.

From exploring bioluminescent caves that look like something out of a science fiction movie, to skipping across the beach and skimming the ocean surf as you speed past the famed “Twelve Apostles” limestone stacks, there are driving experiences in Forza Horizon 3 that players have never seen before in a Horizon game.

Forza Horizon 3 is packed full of incredible diversity. There’s the famed dusty Outback that will be a test of any car’s abilities; blasting through the dense and lush rainforests; testing your driving skills on city streets – the unique driving experiences in Forza Horizon 3 seemingly never end.

Your Forza Garage: 350 cars

You’ll explore Australia in more than 350 amazing cars including incredible models never before seen in Forza, like the stunning new Lamborghini Centenario which was just revealed at the Geneva Autoshow in March and our co-cover car, the brand new Ford Raptor.

Stay tuned for the full list of cars in Forza Horizon 3 later this summer.

Choose from Over 350 of the World’s Greatest Cars recreated with ForzaVista detail including full cockpit views, working lights and wipers, and new vehicle types bringing all-new driving experiences never before seen in Forza.

Every Man’s Sky

Whether you’re playing on Xbox One or Windows 10, the world of Forza Horizon 3 is a constant visual delight, bringing you surprises around every bend.

The team at Playground have gone to extraordinary lengths to bring you the most visually impressive Forza Horizon game ever, using state-of-the-art technology. But perhaps the best example of Playground’s innovation can be found simply by… looking up.

There’s nothing like an Australian sky – big, bold, and beautiful, with dazzling varieties and subtleties in color and cloud formations. The team at Playground wanted to capture those unique Australian skies in all their glory. To do that, they’ve built a custom 12K HDR camera rig to capture the sky in incredibly precise photos – thousands of photos, in fact, creating a 24-hour timelapse video of the real Australian sky, projected onto the skydome in Forza Horizon 3. For players, it means that you’re not just surrounded by the intense natural glory of Australia, you’re also driving under authentic Australian skies.

You’re in Charge

In previous Forza Horizon games, you’ve been a participant in the world’s biggest cars and music festival.

In Forza Horizon 3, you’re the boss. That means you’ll be making the big decisions that affect the festival. From choosing when and where to expand the festival sites, all the way down to the music that is played and the events that take place – the decisions are up to you. Your goal is to win fans until your festival is the most popular in the world.

Now, simply casting you in the role of the “head of the Horizon Festival” is one thing. The real fun is found in the power that you will have in Forza Horizon 3, which sets this apart from any previous game in the series.

Simply put, you have the power to tailor every experience in the game to your own tastes. That’s done through a brand new feature we call Horizon Blueprint, which lets players create their own gameplay and instantly share it with friends.

Horizon Blueprint

With Blueprint, you can take any of the hundreds of pre-created events in Forza Horizon 3 and customize them to your exact specifications. That can include things like changing the route for a particular event, the time of day and weather conditions, the eligible cars, event restrictions, and more.

You can even give an event its own name, which is important because you’ll be able to share your event and see the events that all your friends have created automatically populated in your world. Those events will even have custom posters automatically generated based on the event type.

Should you choose to play any of your friends’ Blueprint events, you’ll earn the same rewards and the same fans that you’d earn for doing the “preset” event built into the game. Between prebuilt events, your own customized events, and those events that your friends dream up, Blueprint provides a virtually limitless stream of events and fun. But it doesn’t stop there.

Remember Bucket Lists – those lists of special challenges that every player should try before leaving the Horizon Festival? Blueprint works with them too.

Players can use the Bucket List Blueprint to create brand new challenges, using the same tools that the game designers use. Choose a challenge type, the car you wish to use (including its livery and tuning setup), set the conditions, choose the music, give it a name, and set the difficulty by completing the event yourself.

Then you can send that Bucket List Challenge to your friends as a direct challenge to see if they can top your score.

Hire and Fire Your Friends

While Horizon Blueprint is set to quite literally change the game in Forza Horizon 3, it’s only part of the story. Remember, as boss of the Horizon Festival, your goal is to earn fans.

That means attracting the best drivers available to join you and help bring more fans to the party. That’s where Drivatars come in. Drivatars have become a huge part of the Forza experience, and being able to drive with and against the Drivatars of your friends and acquaintances is a uniquely Forza experience. With Forza Horizon 3, we’re taking that one step further, giving you the opportunity to hire and fire your friends – or, more precisely, your friends’ Drivatars.

With the new Drivatar Lineup feature, you can hire a friend’s Drivatar just be finding them in the world and beating them in a race. Once you’ve got them onboard, you’ll earn rewards based on their performance in the Horizon Festival. With only a limited amount of slots available, you’ll only want to keep your highest-performing friends in your Festival – and you’ll be informed how things are progressing each time you log on to the game. If your friend isn’t getting the job done, let them go and look for another hot shoe to take their place.

Customize It

With 350 cars to choose from in Forza Horizon 3, players will be have no shortage of options when it comes to finding the car they love. But for those who love to customize, Forza Horizon 3 will be a gold mine.

We’ve got a wealth of new visual customizations for a huge number of cars in the game, including new off-road and rally parts, more than 30 new rim styles from manufacturers like Rotiform, Fifteen 52, and ADV.1 and, for the first time, widebody kits from industry leaders like Rocket Bunny and Liberty Walk. cc Need for Speed The SpeedHunters! 😀

And that’s in addition to the full slate of livery and tuning options that Forza fans have come to expect in the series.

Your Festival, Your Soundtrack

Naturally, music plays a huge role in the Horizon Festival and, as the boss, you’ll have say over that as well. For Forza Horizon 3, we want you to drive to the music you love. We started by adding more radio stations – featuring new music styles like hip hop, heavy rock and punk – alongside Horizon favorite stations like Bass Arena and Horizon Pulse.

Forza Horizon 3 will feature stations from labels like Hospital Records, Epitaph Records, and Vagrant Records, as well as the latest music from cutting-edge Australian label Future Classic. That’s more radio stations, covering a broader range of music, than ever before.

But that’s not all. In Forza Horizon 3, we can ensure that you are driving to the music that you love with the brand new Groove Radio station. Groove Radio lets players stream their own personal music collection from the cloud – just add your music to your OneDrive, create a playlist in ‘Groove Music’ on Windows 10, and Horizon 3 will stream that playlist into your game on Xbox One and Windows 10.

A Connected Adventure

Forza Horizon 3 will be the most connected, most social racing game ever. That starts with Forza Horizon 3 being the first Xbox Play Anywhere game in Forza history.

When you buy the digital version of Forza Horizon 3, you’ll be able to play the game on both Xbox One and on Windows 10.

You can play, save your progress at any time, and pick up on the other platform. Even better, with the power of Xbox Live, you’ll be able to seamlessly play with your friends regardless of whether they are playing on Xbox One or Windows 10.

We’re making the most of that cross-platform play with our four-player campaign co-op.

Everything that is in Forza Horizon 3’s solo campaign can be played with up to four players in cooperative mode.

Drop in our out at will; everything you’ve earned in a co-op session with friends will carry on with you once you go back to solo play. You never have to play the same content twice if you don’t want to and your time spent in co-op will always be time well spent.

Auction House, Storefronts & More

As we touched on earlier, Forza Horizon 3 will carry on the long tradition of Forza games being a home for creators. From painters and tuners to photographers and more, creativity is a cornerstone of the Forza community.

That’s why we’re so excited to be bringing the Auction House and Storefronts features to Forza Horizon 3. With the Auction House, players will be able to buy and sell cars between one another and the Auction House will act as a hub for fans to find the coolest cars, with striking paint jobs and fantastic tunes.

The Auction House will feature a new rating system for painters and tuners based on how many downloads, likes, and uses their creations have, so browsers can quickly identify the community’s top creators.

Storefront is the place where players can show off their latest creations – including liveries, tuning setups, photos, and custom vinyl creations. You can easily follow someone whose Storefront creations you like, and you’ll be informed each time they create something new.

Best of all, Auction House and Storefront features will work seamlessly across both Xbox One and Windows 10.

Between Xbox Play Anywhere functionality, four-player campaign co-op, Auction House and Storefront, as well as social features like 1000-player Car Clubs, Car Meets, seamless multiplayer with no lobbies, Playground games (including an all-new mode called Flag Rush), Rivals events, Online Free Roam and the new Online Adventure, Forza Horizon 3 is packed with amazing ways to enjoy some of the best cars in the world.

MAJ Gamescom 2016

Forza Horizon 3 introduces weekly competitions in October

Forza Horizon 3 will include new weekly challenges dubbed Forzathon, Playground Games creative director Ralph Fulton told Polygon today at Gamescom.

The feature will include weekly, themed competitions where players can win prizes not available in other parts of the game. Challenges start in October, just after the game’s Sept. 27 launch on PC and Xbox One. Of note is the event Oct. 14, when players can win a Nissan Silvia S14, and an unannounced event Oct. 28-30. News on that event is still incoming, though Fulton said players will be able to win and drive a vehicle that « has never been drivable in Forza before, which you will not believe. » The Forzathon challenges are part of Playground Games’ commitment to players beyond the game’s launch date, Fulton said. « It’s not just about the game that we ship on day one, » Fulton said. « It’s about the game that we’re adding to. »
