[AlTech]

The PC requirements for Forza Horizon 3 have been revealed!

 

Minimum Specs Required:

• Intel Core i5-3570
• Nvidia Geforce GTX 750Ti  OR AMD Radeon R7 250X
• Windows 10 Anniversary Update - 10.0.14393.101 64 Bit
• 55GB Storage

 

Recommended Specs Required:

• Intel core i7-3820
• 12GB RAM

• 55GB Storage
• 1080p Full HD Display (1920x1080)

 

And it seems that they are dedicated and care about PC gamers:

Forza Horizon 3 players will have a tremendous amount of adjustment options when playing on Windows 10. From basic options like full screen, vertical sync, and resolution, to more advanced adjustments like quality settings for motion blur, mirrors, reflection, static and dynamic geometry, we’re giving Windows 10 players the power to play the way they want. Whether playing on the recommended specs or pushing the hardware limits to deliver the ultimate 4K racing experience, Forza Horizon 3 players will have lots of options for making the most of their experience.[/Quote]

 

 

Nice. Not too demanding but still enough to make the game look damn good.

Oh I don't really hate it you know? It is my defacto main OS (Since I spend more hours per week on my work laptop, Windows 10 on that rig) I just like to remind people that a few games here and there are not worth the headache. You know, resident butthead and all that.

Yeah no........ They're not gonna buckle under pressure.

 

People will just have to use Windows 10.

They were weak and were too afraid...... They weren't real believers.

Yeah, they actually wanted to deliver a good game, but UWP was horrible at that time.

 

Sadly, it's unlikely to see Forza outside the shitty Windows Store.

well glad that nobody pointed out that horrendous price point...

That's what's me turning off

It's $59.99 for the "Standard Edition"

[The Benjamins]

The pricing kinda sucks, but I still got it due to the fact i miss forza too much. Forza apex ran great to I dont expect anything less. Can't wait to play it tomorrow.

[GooDBoY920]

Definitely will buy it.

[Kobz360]

Massive hype, the game's gotten good reviews so I'm definitely looking forward to playing it on PC. Nice to know that buying the digital version gives me the game on Xbone for free too. 

 

[Techicolors]

people who have the Ultimate Edition already got early dibs on the game as well.

This is why Vulkan exists.

Its a Microsoft studio title, they brought it to windows 10 only for a reason. I am just glade it is on PC.

[VerticalDiscussions]

Games system requirements nowadays are high as heck .-.

 

And rather than sometimes working on older hardware, it takes better hardware than the ones listed for recommended (Same bs for Halo 5 Forge)

[Theorak]

So how much pressure/fear should I feel from that Anniversary Update requirement?

 

I will stick to The Crew for now, even if it has become mediocre.

I would say download forza apex and see how it runs, I would expect it to be very similar (same game engine but slightly improved)

[Doobeedoo]

I mean, it's not surprising at all though. W10 was free so pretty much anyone available in that period could get it/reserve it so. Moving forward is good too.

Well it is Forza, i cant say im too surprised that they are going to have multiple editions and likely tons of dlc for unlocking cars and stuff. A lot of the racing games feel like Train Simulator 2015 with all their $10,000 in DLC.

Oh snap  

That joke never gets old

[Delicieuxz]

I have Win 10 AU, but I still won't bother with the game so long as it uses UWP. I find that platform horribly restricted, and I don't trust it for posterity: How easy will it be to tweak a UWP game to work in 10 or 15 years' time, on a new iteration of Windows, or other OS? Or, how easy will it be to implement a workaround for a hardware-specific issue with a UWP application? I see buying a UWP game as buying a game with an expiration-date, and which is more vulnerable to access issues, and so I won't do it.

 

It should be no surprise that a Microsoft-published game is requires Windows 10 / DX 12, since Microsoft wants to push Windows 10, the Windows Store, and its UWP platform. And all MS-published games have been Windows Store / DX 12 for some time, so this is just continuing the trend.

 

It's only Microsoft-published games that I'll miss out on by not using the Windows Store, and I can live with that. And if Microsoft wants to broaden their reachable market, they'll have to also offer their games on Steam and other platforms.
