Amazing how much better the graphics in that video are after it switches from Halo 5 to FM3.

Halo 5 being 60fps wouldn't help in a vid like that

what about pc players?

You get to spend endless threads telling us how much better the games are on PC.
Earn it through gameplay like all the other unlockable cars, or play a halo game on someone's console.
You'd think that if someone cared enough about Halo to be interested in this car, they would have found a way to play a game at some point within the last two years.

Kind of a bummer since Turn 10 didn't include the warthog in forza 4 due to not having the 4 wheel steering implemented.
Aren't there real world cars that have this type of steering? Pity that they couldn't license them and create the physics that could also be used for the warthog.

How do we get it?

Wasn't it to do with having exposed suspension parts which weren't visually modelled/animated before Forza 5?
I get the feeling they simulated the feeling and handling but not the rear wheel animations.

The top car, Lamborghini Centenario.

They have maybe limited the steering so it drives more like a normal car instead of a tank.

Been a Halo player since day 1 but have never realized the Warthog actually has "tusks" in the front.

Apparently the Honda Prelude could do it... not as extreme as the Warthog, but there all the same.

And it's not like they haven't been built... here's a Warthog by WETA that was built to do it (it was used in Halo advertising):

Then win it for free in October?

Simulating some of the implementations accurately would be complicated. I don't think any real cars do rear axle steering as extremely as the Warthog does.

Comparing the graphics of a game that came out s year ago versus one coming out a year later? Lol

FH3 has the fortune of getting to run at 30fps so they can render at 1080p with 4x MSAA. Makes a really big difference in image quality.
Poor consolation.
I'm sure the code will work on PC though wouldn't it? The game is a play anywhere title so I would assume everything carries over.

I won't be home in October though. Do you have to "attend" during that specific period? And what exactly is this event?
What code are you referring to?
is that true or you made it up ?
5x5 messaged to folks who've played H5 or MCC.
Something something wormhole.

Um OK.
I mean I don't have an Xbox One, but I'm interested in this cause it's quirky and really like when games do these kinds of things.
Is the car only available at that one specific time in October if you don't play Halo?
There's literally no need for people to get as annoyed as they are about this. They're genuine questions. If I don't buy the game before the October thing am I shit out of luck in getting this car is all I want to know.

Can we mod it and add the guns? would be so sick
There's zero reason it won't or can't be available via further challenges, but the scheduled October one is designed for the vast majority of non Halo players who can get it early after the launch.

Just an educated guess based on FH2 which was 1080p with 4xMSAA.
SomedayTheFire
Member
Thanks!
Uh is there any Xbox One games with 4xMSAA? That seems extremely computationally expensive.
TheAdmiester
Member
FH2 is the only one I know of. FH1 on Xbox 360 also had 4xMSAA but of course that was 720p. They've definitely got the cleanest IQ on consoles going on.

For real? That's awesome.

Yup, from DF's hands-on with the demo in 2014 (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-hands-on-with-forza-horizon-2-demo):
Horizon 1 (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-vs-forza-horizon):
So Horizon 1 had FXAA as well as some kind of intermediate step that cleaned up the motion blur, but to me it also softened the image too much. It seems to be gone in FH2 so the motion blur suffers a bit but the image is cleaner. Thankfully in FH3 PC we'll likely have up to 8xMSAA or simply play at 4K and motion blur is adjustable (hopefully we can increase the samples).
But yeah:
Horizon 1 = 720p30, 4xMSAA + FXAA
Horizon 2 = 1080p30, 4xMSAA
Horizon 3 = Likely the same as H2 on Xbox, anything you can manage on PC.

Any idea when this will show up on the Windows Store btw? There's no trace of it at the moment.
I don't have a X1 anymore, so that's probably it.
Thanks for the answer, let's hope we can access it in some way or another post-October then!

That's what I thought too...

I thought their reasoning was that they only wanted to include cars that they could get real tire data from (remember their constant talks about partnering with Pirelli for FM4?), and that something from 2552 isn't going to behave how they want it to in their engine.
With the improvements in the engine in FH3, and the fact that it's not as realistic physics-wise, they can likely fudge some numbers and just make it "feel" right without caring too much about real data.
Since this is cross-buy it doesn't really matter if you buy it on the Windows 10 store or on xbox.com.

Holy Mama Jama. Are these bullshots?
TheAdmiester
Member
Most likely not. Still images of Forza games are, from what I've seen, 100% representative of the game's graphics. These ones are extremely clear and sharp which suggests they've been downsampled, but I wouldn't even call that bullshottery since we can do the same on PC this time around.

This has me really excited for the PC version! Wonder how close I can get to these with my 1080 during gameplay?
TheAdmiester

If Apex + the recommended specs are any basis, you'll be able to match or exceed the quality with that card.
For reference, I can get 90FPS out of Forza Apex at 4K with 4xMSAA (MSAA is virtually unnecessary at that res too) with a single 980Ti. If we factor in that H3 will run slightly worse (more dust, open world, etc) I'd say you can probably see 4K60 from a 1080. If you're comfortable with playing at 30FPS you could probably go beyond the quality of those shots too.
For real though, this is pretty cool.
Now if only I could have a Halo radio station where DJ Cortana plays flip music.

I want to say it was a while for me too. I think it might have been right before Halo 2 came out or something. Definitely wasn't day 1 though.
But the lore. What does Greg Bear have to say about this?

I've been playing Halo since CE, and this is the first time I noticed the tusks on the Warthog.

I have Apex downloaded and you just reminded me that I've never tried it on my 1080... I'll get on that lol.
Alright, so next question, I have a set of Pro Pedals but no wheel. With FH3 will I be able to use the pedals while using my controller as a wheel substitute?
