It'll be damn good!

"I'm coming home, coming home, tell the world I'm coming home..."

It looks very East Coast, Hunter Valley as you have the 12 Apostiles, and then a real Blue Mountains look.

Hunter Valley being about 3hr drive North of Bathurst and Sydney. The 12 Apostiles are off the Victorian Coast and the desert looks like the Hay Plains (which has nothing for 100km) and of course the famous Parkes Satelites that gave us the moon landing

Hopefully the map is big enough, unlike other games, a lot of ground to cover!

Will definitely be getting this!

with all these features, I sure as heck hope the map is as large as TD:U2's Oahu w/ the dirt roads. I remember it took me over a week to find every bit of road to completely uncover all the roads. FH2 only took me 2 days

I know it's a bit of a long shot but I'd love to see a cheeky cameo appearance from Mount Panorama!

Game looks incredible! Love the addition of buggies, return of the auction house and storefront and the custom playlist music! Also looks as though we'll have more customization for characters too! Excited!

There's a gameplay video out there that has the whole map and Surfers Paradise is the big city in the game.

#weneedmorestreetcircuits

but why
I mean, I love the Gold Coast circuit, but it's 9hr drive away from the Hunter Valley (where this seems to be set).

But then again, the Apostles (which I've been spelling wrong this whole time) is 13hr away

Do you have a link to that at all?

this map better be TDU:2 map if it's going from Surfers, to the Hunter, down to the Apostles and west to the Outback...

Eh, I'm not sure I'm keen. I enjoyed FH2 but never really completed it as such. Not sure I'd give FH3 as much attention as I should, however possibly body kits, buggies, storefront/auction house and other features may make my buy it eventually

Erebus i think i will be singing the same thing with you .

I love the fact that there is a racing game fully set in Australia (you know being the country im from). and the fact that its going to look beautiful

Side note: Did you know they recorded the Australian sky patterns to make it feel more realistic

Im just hoping for more aussie cars then it would make this game complete

P.S did anyone else almost shed a tear when they saw that trailer or is it just me

Map is 2x the size of FH2.

Erebus of course the distances are going to be weird In FH2 they somehow managed to squeeze in the Italy-France border as well as Nice!

Not to mention customisable horns from what I've heard... Fiat 595 with a truck horn guys?

Hope for some boat horn XD

Sat behind the chav in the Civic when suddenly HHOOOOOOOONK

Pretty good video here of the E3 demo:

Never truly played a Horizon game. So looking at the new stuff and all I went on ahead and Pre-ordered the ultimate edition. Go big as always with Forza.

as big a fan i was of the original Test Drive Unlimited, Horizon maps have been lacking. I hope the map in FH3 is as big as Oahu in TD:U (unlikely though)
