Here you come roaring in your 800 horsepower Lamborghini Veneno coming over a hill to see a bright red Horizon and plenty of other high octane cars ready to race — in your dreams, or if you play Forza Horizon 3.
Forza Horizon 3 is a new racing game produced by Turn10, developed by Playground Games and published by Microsoft games. Horizon is scheduled to be released on Sept. 27 and will be available online and in Gamestops and Bestbuys across the nation for PC and Xbox 1 creating a Horizon trilogy each game bigger and better than the last.
In this Horizon you are now racing in Australia, you control the festival and you call the shots. You can control everything from how far the festival spans down to what music is played for your guests. When you’re in control you have the power to shape how you experience Forza racing. To add to your power you can hire and fire your crew if they don’t suffice to your racing style or pace. A new feature to Forza is taking pre-created races from Forza and make them your own, changing checkpoints, laps, finish and even renaming them. The famous Forza Bucket Lists also will be able to be reshaped. This feature is called Horizon Blueprint.
You will be able to explore the great “Lucky Country” in over 350 of the greatest cars manufacturers have put out. Cruise around in the 3 wheeled Ford Super Deluxe Station Wagon or take action in the ageless 960 horsepower Koenigsegg Agera hunting top speed records to beat.
The only thing you need to enjoy this game is an Xbox 1 or PC, a couple hours, and a need for speed.
