Needs just one thing...
Still no wheel support.
MoreAmazing!
It is a really pretty game and very enjoyable to play! The graphics are amazing too!
MoreFinally on PC, but....
Don't like having to use the keyboard, so I'm hoping this will come to the pc able to use a wheel, etc.. That being said it is a remarkably enjoyable and surprisingly satisfying driver. If the finished product is any better than this I will most definitely have to own it!
MoreAbsolutely a great ride!
Fun, challenging and tremendous graphics, cannot miss this!
MorePlease support 21:9 (3440 x 1440)
Best Racing Game ever created. Check! FPS Counter. Check! Motion blur sucks :( I have a 3440 x 1440 monitor, gtx 980, 16 gb ram and i7 4790. Runs kinda choppy with the settings turned up
MoreMove Aside Project Cars!
I have nearly every racing sim on the market, both console and PC. I really wasn't expecting much from Forza, because it never really satisfied my hardcore sim appetite. What Microsoft Studios has done is deliver a Complete Package similar to what Project Cars delivers, but in a much more detailed and varied experience. You've just got to try it to see what I mean. Once full wheel/pedal support is implemented, it will be even better. Don't overlook this one if you're a motorsports/gearhead fan.
MoreRuns fantastic on Phenom II X4 965 @3.4GHZ & R9270X
Wow, DirectX 12 is the future. I doubt I could run this in DX11 with the same settings. I don't know what voodoo magic sauce Microsoft has made, but Turn 10 has really done a great job optimizing this game and utilizing the power of DX12. If this is but only a taste of what is in store for us when Forza Horizon 3 comes to PC, then my body is ready! Thanks for making this free for everybody to get a chance to see what millions of console gamers have experienced over the years! Keep it up guys! Now where is my Halo Master Chief Collection on Windows 10!
MoreFree to have fun.
I've only spent a few hours on this game and I get that exact same feeling I did when playing Forza 2 only but better. Which is definitely a good feeling. I'm falling in love with the challenging difficulties trying time and time again with real cars, real weather effects and stunning visuals. I definitely hate micro transactions but obviously your going to run into them with it being a free game but all in all this game is FREE to have hours of fun.
MoreLooks Great, feels great and is FREE!
Tons of cars to choose from that all feel different and unique. Different weather that changes how you drive and a good number of tracks to race in. My only complaint is that the game controls your speed at times which annoying AF.
