They will not put any game up for preorder on Windows store coz they want you to preorder from Xbox store.

 

You can preorder from Xbox.com using your live GT and game will unlock for you on both Xbox and Windows 10. You will get both versions no matter which store version you buy lol.

Why would they want us to order on xbox store? Windows 10 store bhi unhi ka hai,whats the difference?

Yeah I guess your right, but they don't put games for preorder there for some reason. And buying games from Xbox.com is same as buying from Windows store as price will remain same on both.

Importing real Australian skies into Forza Horizon 3


“All the weather systems we put in place for that game hook into the same system perfectly, so it’s like a new data input it," he says. "You see storm clouds starting to build on the horizon, and it’s actually going to drive rainfall in the environment.”

“That involves some really complicated work,: he adds. "We had to be constantly changing exposures, lens filters, all that kind of stuff. The whole rig has to adapt to each time of day.


Forza Horizon 3 – the mission to create the world's most beautiful racing game

Look at the sky,” says the art director, Benjamin Penrose, during a demo at this year’s E3. “That is a genuine Australian sky. A bunch of our guys actually went out on location with a custom-built 12k HDR camera rig – they camped in a field for the entire summer taking images every second of every day. They brought all of this amazing photography back to the studio and fed it through a custom process that streams the data into our system, producing the most dynamic, evolving skyscapes you’ve ever seen in a game.


Forza Horizon 3 actually features sequential photographic samples of Australian skies, which evolve as you play.

Forza Horizon 3 is twice the size of the previous game and offers twice the geographic diversity.

From the rain forests at the tip of Queensland, through the endless outback, to the sun-drenched coastlines, Playground Games says it has explored and represented every ecological quirk of the country.

Among the 350 cars, several new vehicle classes have been added to reflect these varied landscapes, including class 10 open wheel buggies and extreme offroaders.

There are classic Aussie models too such as the ubiquitous Holden Ute and the classic 74 Sandman, as seen in the original Mad Max (I have it on good authority that you can also select a 1973 Ford Falcon, paint it matte black and fit a blower on the front to recreate Max’s classic Interceptor).

Structure-wise, the game is still an open map that provides hundreds of challenges each contributing toward your progress though the festival rankings.

This time, however, the player is the festival boss, deciding when and where to set up new sites, tweaking event types and even selecting the music.

Through the new Horizon Blueprint option, you can go in and customise each event, altering the route, the weather, the time of day, the cars involved and any other restrictions. You can then give your new variation a name and share it with friends. Playground has also brought back the Bucket List mode, allowing you to create a custom checklist of challenges to attempt and share.

Playground reckons the campaign is over 100 hours long, but if players start to build and distribute their own events, that’s just the beginning.


The drivatar system – which lets you locate and drive against AI representations of your friends’ cars – has also been updated.

A new feature called Drivatar Line-Up lets you go out into the world, track down your mates’ cars and recruit them to your festival as star drivers. From that point, any achievements earned by your friends go toward your own advancement as a festival boss. However, you only have four star driver slots so if one of your choices isn’t performing up to scratch you can sack them.

Yes, in Forza Horizon 3 you can sack an artificially intelligent version of a friend. This is gaming in 2016.

 

There are other neat little additions scattered around the game. 15 new jump challenges let you track down some ridiculous ramps and then get as much air as possible.

A new Groove Music radio station allows you to upload your own music MP3s to One Drive them stream them as you play (if you’re a Groove Music subscriber, you can also access tracks and playlists from the music service). There are new rally parts and rim types to buy and customise your car with, and Playground has added wide body kits for the first time, with Rocket Bunny and Liberty Walk kits available.

The auction house is back, letting players sell cars to each other – there’s even an option for you to follow car sellers who produce interesting custom kits and liveries.

 

So yes, Forza Horizon 3 is very beautiful. Running on Xbox One S it supports the new HDR feature, for richer colours and luminosity; its vehicle modelling is superlative; its understanding of Australia’s diversity (not just in terms of scenery, but the way that sunlight completely transforms outback and beach settings) is pretty much spot on. Our experience with the handling model has so far been restricted to a quick race along the beach, but it sure was fun.

The arcade racing genre seems to have become somewhat dormant over the past few years, so it’s great to find a title still flying that flag. Indeed, there is something in Horizon’s aesthetic obsession that harks back to the great work of Yu Suzuki. This series is a sort of Out Run for the 21st century – as much about experience as it is about competition. That’s good. That’s a beautiful thing to aim for.

Is it different on the good ol' vanilla XBone?

^ Not the first time Microsoft would be doing it though.

 

And I am sure we will have all sorts of comparison videos and pixel-bean-counting to go along.

New slim utilizes hdr but thats only if your tv supports that feature otherwise there is no difference.

 

I am aware of that. If you are panel is not capable of rendering the colour range, how is it the consoles fault?

 

Wow so good.

On Scorpio it will have UNCOMPRESSED PIXELS.

 

Wonder what is the difference between two pixel types?
