I love how vibrant everything is. the sky in the daytime the brake lights at night how dark the nighttime sky can get when you’re driving on the road. It’s pitch black.
Tbh one game had microsoft budget and other game is an AA game. Tdusc on highest settings look better than fh3 but on console, TDUSC actually looks PS3
@@Kortex_Racing Nah, TDSUC on the highest settings looks works than ps3 games, it's hot shit on a plate. Literal scam game, everything looks better next to tdusc
Test Drive never had the best graphics like never I don’t even know why you’re comparing it to Forza Horizon they always had the best graphics TDU specialized in other aspects
3 is definitely the best of the series.. best vibes.. music.. map.. and the graphics still hold up! They added so much to the series. Terrifying that its 8 already 😭 can time stop pls
That camera work/cutscene after finishing races or starting races were definitely beautiful and made the older games a lot more alive. I hate the newer ones in the newer games where players are emoting some fortnite emotes in a random studio.
I LOVE FH3, was my first Forza game, spent hundreds and hundreds hours in it.. I was so sad when the servers kinda went off. But my favorite will always be FH4. I just saw your video about it just before this one, and idk, FH4 is special to me. I've spent easily twice the hours I got on FH3, I LOVE the map, the general vibes of the game, and I'm still playing this game a lot! Also love the season/weather system, I was disappointed they didn't keep it for FH5. I like FH5 and still play it a lot, but idk this game feels more boring to me (really not a fan of the map). But yeah, idk, FH4 has just this special thing I've never feel in any other Forza Horizon game. Just starting this game to get my favs JDM and run in every single road of the map as well as chilling with the drift zones makes me feel better. We know the servers will shut down as well soon, and it's really sad.. can't believe FH4 was released in 2018, it could have been released the same year as FH5 it would have not been surprising, it's aging really well!
I disagree entirely. The evolving world changes, taking photos of your character outside of your car with emotes, the cool black bars transition when you’re neck and neck with another racer towards the finish line, the retro wave radio station that they recently added, being able to put the roof up and down, the cool loading screen you get when loading races, and the differently themed main menu screens are definitely things that give Horizon 5 soul. Theres even a plane that drops piñatas from the sky during a specific game mode in Horizon Arcade. I would even argue that Horizon 5 has MORE soul than Horizon 3.
Yes correct. But the thing EA the "rubbish" will not promote all the Legacy Need for Speed titles in there digital store front for purchase. Those are very very nostalgic and interesting and even better than newer titles except graphics.
The official trailer for FH3 still gives me goosebumps when I rewatch it. I think the developers did a great job with recreating the biomes of Australia. I think the bright sunlight and variety in the landscape are the best parts from the Outback desert to Surfers Paradise. The sunset along the coast is a beautiful place to cruise.
What was great about FH3 is the ability to create our own championship series, where we can select any racing events on the map. It hasn’t returned since FH3. If Forza Horizon is about creative freedom, we should have custom championship series again, and with Eventlab, it would be awesome in FH5.
The excitement i felt leading up to this game’s release was like no other, i remember playing the demo almost every day, and even that stunned me. The game absolutely lived up to it’s anticipation and the fact it’s been 8 years already is just insane really
Imagine Forza Horizon 6 in Japan.. The sakura trees in spring, heavy snow in winters, rainy autumns with orange leaves everywhere, the colorful summer fields, it has a bit of everything for everyone. Plus it's JAPAN.
Crazy how an 8 years old looks better than The Crew Motorfest and TDU SC 💀 I agree with you on how NFS, especially Heat, did progression. It never felt "grindy" or tiring to unlock cars and earn money/rep.
Skybox in this game is truly amazing. Location is beautiful and diverse. No cringe story and dialogues. And the feel of a festival is top notch. Best Horizon.
What I really loved in this game was that it had a custom Groove Music soundtrack system. Would REALLY want that QOL feature to return in the next game!
Forza horizon 3 is where it started for me and quite a few of my online friends so many memories in that game it’s got a special place in my heart forever ❤
Man i still remember watching youtube videos of FH3 gameplay from this guy and Jack Ultramotive back when i was not in the condition to build a pc or buy a gaming laptop and used to admire the game and thought how realistic and smooth the game looked and now that i am able to build a pc and even own a gaming laptop I'm definitely downloading this game and experience this masterpiece myself😊
FH3 was the first and last game I ever bought the $100 version for, i was so excited for it. Seeing the trailers and gameplay made me want to get the most out of it.
I have played all 5 forza horizon games since the first forza horizon came out back in 2012 and back then I was 9 years old when forza horizon 2012 came out
Your Fh3 play through got me back into forza after not playing it since the first motor sport back on the og xbox, being from Australia this game is tops
What I really like the most about this game is the ram runner best sounding and my dream vehicle in the game I used to play it everyday from late 2019-late 2023 until i moved on to TC2
It is the Forza game that I had the best experience with. The races feel very laid back and chill, and I never had issues with my cars. But keep in mind I have never played 1 and 2. 5 has to be my favourite though
5:00 They were starting to copy the TDU formula and failed at it TDU had already created this idea and structure you’re talking about and excelled at it they were the first racing game that allowed you to do whatever to progress. While still having structure so you know what to do next but you could do it when you wanted too. What separated it from games like Forza Horizon is it didn’t force you down one way of playing the game. To level up your rank and make money it literally encouraged you to do multiple different activities in the game so you won’t get bored of doing the same activity unless you choosed too. Not when the game forced you too unless you wanted to unlock a specific car. You could be max rank but would have to complete a certain race or mission in order to get a specific car. You were never forced in TDU to just race it was all a part of the unlimited experience. Everything you did in TDU was a part of the main experience. Nothing you did was wasteful every activity contributed towards your rank and money. When FH3 came they were trying to apply that TDU logic to Forza Horizon but it doesn’t work because it’s a racing game at the core not a driver game. TDU solved this problem in the racing genre that everyone doesn’t have to be a elite racer TDU was never in a box. TDU was whatever you wanted it to be because it allowed you to do whatever you wanted to get money and max out your rank being a skilled driver. Things like convoy missions slows the game down drastically into that cruising aspect. You had to do it with out crashing you see how the game is encouraging driver skill in all aspects. Long trips with out crashing the more you crashed the lower the payout after that long road trip. It kept dropping until it was just a terrible pay out. Because you have to remember we are all splitting this big payout together so one person messes up we all messed up. Then the more players you got in a convoy the more the group got payed. It’s a simple mode but it encouraged mmo social interaction. Probably the most out of any mode because that was a big way to get money fast. It wasn’t reliable because you would need a lot of players to get that big payout which is fine. Same with delivery missions that’s another part of the unlimited experience nothing felt forced that it had to be done because it was all one experience to achieve your rank and money. Delivery missions is a entirely different experience I can go in depth on but you should get what I’m saying if you are someone that’s not a good racer YDU was your game because you could still excel in it because racing wasn’t the only thing that you had to be good at it in the game. You had to be a all around good driver because the game requires a broad skillset. Racing was only one part of the puzzle it introduces you into the game but it’s not the core experience.
Fh3 in its entirety but with fh5s engine mods that change the way a car sounds would be perfect imo. Fh3s map and the original with Colorado are my favorites
I Got The First Forza (motorsport) As A Bundle With My Orginal Xboc Back In The Day. I Love To See The Different Generations Of Gaming Racers. I'm 33 Now And Have Never Let Up. My Opinion, FH1 & FH3 Are The Best.
I love fh3, but I am so upset with myself for not getting blizzard mountain. Hot wheels was an amazing expansion and luckily I was at least smart enough to get that
The problem with the flickering on AMD is with the drivers. I have found and downloaded the specific versions that work and i keep them on my pc. All i have to do is revert. Which is done pretty intuitively by just opening the installation for the old driver, and the program simply asks me if i wish to revert back. Simple but yea bit annoying having to do that and then revert back again to the most recent drivers.
Forza horizon one is a damn good game for what it is but two and three are the best in the series. Four and five or OK but don't hold a candle to the others.
I count myself lucky I was able to buy this game right before they took it off the marketplace in 2020, love playing this game and the classic Hot Wheels map
TDU 1 did the best Job on rewarding and i loved the atmosphere and the Intro. and this is where the new TDU needs to get to. TDU 1 shows it's own identity not to be comparable to other racing games. Horizon 3 was defintely the best title in the Horizon Series. Big City, little towns, lightning, the diverse locations. I feel after 3 the developers were getting just a little bit lazy on giving their fans the experience they deserve. Just my opinion.
AMD compatibility update at least on the 24.8.1 driver Forza Horizon 3 seems to be fixed. Note i am on a 7900 xt so 6000 and 5000 series compatibility may vary
I hate that I sold my Xbox 1 with fh3 I had all the dlcs I now hate myself more than anything and i would do anything to play it again I don’t car if I lost all my progress this game is just a masterpiece
We will glad if the Playground and Microsoft both promote legacy Forza titles and bring them on windows platform, but there's less chance they will do this. Why they don't attempt licenses as EA's Need for Speed Most Wanted 2012 is still available for purchase where it was released in the year 2012.
Just realized that FH2 turns 10 years old in 2 days
10?! Damn I'm old
DAAYYUUUMMMMMUHH☠️☠️
oh wow
It turns 10 on my birthday? Damn
fh2 is the BEST horizon
_Normal viewer: The intro is confusing!_
_People in Australia: Why is the rest of the video confusing?_
"normal" 🤣
@@Benzo97 You get the point! :))
I love how vibrant everything is. the sky in the daytime the brake lights at night how dark the nighttime sky can get when you’re driving on the road. It’s pitch black.
8 years old?! Damn, I’m getting old.
You are, yes 😊
Fr
8 years is not that long lol
@@imdasijyea
You truly don’t know what old is once technology becomes 15-20yrs old it’s truly old
The camera work in the cinematics, the color grading, the sun flares - definitely a highlight and i love it. Completely forgotten in the next 2 games.
as an australian, fh3 was absolutely legendary and only few people are lucky enough to have a forza based in their country.
FH1 and 3 are peak to me. 1 had so many crazy racing moments, it can never be replaced. 3 had such perfect gameplay and locations.
Still looks better than the new Test Drive smh
Tbh one game had microsoft budget and other game is an AA game. Tdusc on highest settings look better than fh3 but on console, TDUSC actually looks PS3
You are trippin
@@Kortex_Racing Nah, TDSUC on the highest settings looks works than ps3 games, it's hot shit on a plate.
Literal scam game, everything looks better next to tdusc
@enderbreton8136 false. People on PC all admit that the game looks up to modern standards in highest settings, but you need a 4090 to do so.
Test Drive never had the best graphics like never I don’t even know why you’re comparing it to Forza Horizon they always had the best graphics TDU specialized in other aspects
3 is definitely the best of the series.. best vibes.. music.. map.. and the graphics still hold up! They added so much to the series.
Terrifying that its 8 already 😭 can time stop pls
No it isn’t, worse roads and physics than 2.
That camera work/cutscene after finishing races or starting races were definitely beautiful and made the older games a lot more alive. I hate the newer ones in the newer games where players are emoting some fortnite emotes in a random studio.
I know it really sucks.
*And it had the best sounding RB26. At least in the R33 and R32.*
I LOVE FH3, was my first Forza game, spent hundreds and hundreds hours in it.. I was so sad when the servers kinda went off.
But my favorite will always be FH4. I just saw your video about it just before this one, and idk, FH4 is special to me.

Here with ya lad, I still play forza 4 to this day with the lads and it's just a vibe on it's own
Just from the race intros you can tell how soulless horizon 5 is compared to 3 and before
It's so sad
FH4 still has much more soul than 5 tbh
I disagree entirely. The evolving world changes, taking photos of your character outside of your car with emotes, the cool black bars transition when you’re neck and neck with another racer towards the finish line, the retro wave radio station that they recently added, being able to put the roof up and down, the cool loading screen you get when loading races, and the differently themed main menu screens are definitely things that give Horizon 5 soul. Theres even a plane that drops piñatas from the sky during a specific game mode in Horizon Arcade. I would even argue that Horizon 5 has MORE soul than Horizon 3.
Ppl just hate to hate. FH5 is by far an upgrade over FH3 and FH4 especially in the handling and overall presentation @@PlanetThrill
@@rhdbenchmarkstruth hurts fh2 blows fh5 out of the water lol
I now feel very old
Man I remember when nfs most wanted 2005 came out I was 9
Yes correct. But the thing EA the "rubbish" will not promote all the Legacy Need for Speed titles in there digital store front for purchase. Those are very very nostalgic and interesting and even better than newer titles except graphics.
This looks so much better than FH5.
Not so much focus on the festival and your character dancing around on stages etc.
I’m literally still playing FH3
Yooo same!!
same
same but the online is broken on pc
@@Bonk996 for me even the visuals are broken which is really disappointing :/ lots of graphical artifacts on my system last time I tried
Me too 😂
Horizon 3 fun, Australia was just awesome.
Can’t believe the best horizon game is turning 8, feels like Im a grandpa looking back into this again, need to play it more

I think the bright sunlight and variety in the landscape are the best parts from the Outback desert to Surfers Paradise. The sunset along the coast is a beautiful place to cruise.

IT'S FLIPPIN' AUSTRALIA MATE
Imagine Forza Horizon 6 in Japan..
The sakura trees in spring, heavy snow in winters, rainy autumns with orange leaves everywhere, the colorful summer fields, it has a bit of everything for everyone. Plus it's JAPAN.
Best location, best climate, best soundtrack in all of Forza Horizon series, amazing atmosphere. 🥲
I still have this disc in my series X. I was just playing it a couple weeks ago! This is hands down my favorite Forza.
FH3 is just absolutly the best Horizon ever. I still play it
The memories i had with this game are like no other, forza horizon was good, 2 was great but this was next level
4:31 bro what was this, i was playing it in background and i geniuenly jumped when i heard this :D
Crazy how an 8 years old looks better than The Crew Motorfest and TDU SC 💀

*I love the colors of this game.* There's just something about the colors of this game that makes it so much better than FH4 and FH5. I love it.
As an Australian, I still love this game
Loved horizon 3 I remember the day it came out
What I really loved in this game was that it had a custom Groove Music soundtrack system. Would REALLY want that QOL feature to return in the next game!
The game i bought with my xbox one back in the day. 8 years passed by so fast
Forza Horizon 3 has tons of amazing magic touches that not even Horizon 5 can do that.
That is the best forza game ever created also probably one of the best racing games ever in my opinion
Forza horizon 3 is where it started for me and quite a few of my online friends so many memories in that game it’s got a special place in my heart forever ❤
Yet here we are now, still playing fh3 and it’s second dlc called ‘fh5’
DRIVECLUB is turning 10 years old in less than a month
Man i still remember watching youtube videos of FH3 gameplay from this guy and Jack Ultramotive back when i was not in the condition to build a pc or buy a gaming laptop and used to admire the game and thought how realistic and smooth the game looked and now that i am able to build a pc and even own a gaming laptop I'm definitely downloading this game and experience this masterpiece myself😊
I love the Blizzard Mountain expansion. I feel it is a great compliment to the base map.
3:05 that's what test drive was great at
Forza H 3/4 created a look that is not replicated yet, same for NFS 2015. Racing games look worse than they did 8 yrs ago
I often get on FH3 and use my wheel and a an R33 to just whip around and do street races.
Bro 8 years ago. I was 8 when this came out and i played it every day when I used to come home from school
this is the best forza bc im from australia
My rating for Forza goes 1, 3 ,2 ,4, 5 because 1 was so unique compared to the rest and then 3 was just perfection of what the rest try to achieve
For me it's 2 3 1 4 5.
FH3 was the first and last game I ever bought the $100 version for, i was so excited for it. Seeing the trailers and gameplay made me want to get the most out of it.
The Australia upside down reference ah the beginning ahahahahah
The graphic looks better than the lasted Test drive game with system requirements lower 😂
Yh the camerawork when starting and finishing a race just adds that extra touch 👌
In my opinion forza horizon 6 will be the best forza horizon game since forza horizon 3 hopefully
I have played all 5 forza horizon games since the first forza horizon came out back in 2012 and back then I was 9 years old when forza horizon 2012 came out
Your Fh3 play through got me back into forza after not playing it since the first motor sport back on the og xbox, being from Australia this game is tops

i would instantly buy the blizzard mountain dlc if i ever could unfortunately only have hotwheels but still such a missed dlc i dont have :(
That intro made me want to turn my tv upside-down 😂
Forza Horizon 2 is when I subscribed
Can't believe it's been 8 years
This game has better graphics and better optimisation than test drive solar crown
Now that you've mentioned the race intros, I hella miss The First Crew's race intro
i got this game last month and I REALLY ENJOYED SURFERS PARADISE IN THE GAME
It is the Forza game that I had the best experience with. The races feel very laid back and chill, and I never had issues with my cars. But keep in mind I have never played 1 and 2. 5 has to be my favourite though

It's Australia
Damn my childhood game is 8 years old, i wish i could play it again
definitely the best out of the series on a cinematic aspect
8 years huh? then happy belated birthday FH3! 🎉🎉

FH2 - FH3 Best horizon games
This was my favourite forza game I live in surfers paradise and it’s so cool being able to drive my dream cars around my neighbourhood 🙂
Happy birthday forza horizon 3 🎉 🎂 🎈 🎈
The reason why Forza Horizon , Forza Horizon 2, and Forza Horizon 3 felt different was because FH1, FH2 ,and FH3 had different developers.
fh3?
you mean that game with D.A.N.C.E. by Justice????
I love fh3, but I am so upset with myself for not getting blizzard mountain. Hot wheels was an amazing expansion and luckily I was at least smart enough to get that
im surprised you haven’t played any GT4 Spec II yet 😮 especially with the new car sounds lol
Dang I missed FH3 but from now on I'm collecting every Forza Horizon.
Best game EVER
The problem with the flickering on AMD is with the drivers. I have found and downloaded the specific versions that work and i keep them on my pc. All i have to do is revert. Which is done pretty intuitively by just opening the installation for the old driver, and the program simply asks me if i wish to revert back.

first true racing game that i played i used to not play the new fortnite seasons just to farm the goliath i miss this so mutch
I Cant believe its 8 years old
TDU 1 did the best Job on rewarding and i loved the atmosphere and the Intro. and this is where the new TDU needs to get to. TDU 1 shows it's own identity not to be comparable to other racing games. Horizon 3 was defintely the best title in the Horizon Series. Big City, little towns, lightning, the diverse locations. I feel after 3 the developers were getting just a little bit lazy on giving their fans the experience they deserve. Just my opinion.
AMD compatibility update at least on the 24.8.1 driver Forza Horizon 3 seems to be fixed. Note i am on a 7900 xt so 6000 and 5000 series compatibility may vary
So you saying a map layout like elden ring? Caelid, volcano manor, ect . It's one big map basically with different areas . It would be a good idea
I'm way to early! But thanks for reading my comment. Have a wonderful day! Bless you all ♥
U too!
The grafics are insanely good for a 2016 game
Speaking if 8 year old games.
Driveclub. Amazing how it aged.
No one has talked about it since the 60fps patch.
I hope emulation brimgs it back
I hate that I sold my Xbox 1 with fh3 I had all the dlcs I now hate myself more than anything and i would do anything to play it again I don’t car if I lost all my progress this game is just a masterpiece
