Gear up, petrolheads – the latest Forza Horizon
is out, and this one's set in our very own
backyard.
Forza Horizon 3 takes place Down Under,
where you're the head of our Horizon Festival.
Choose locations, design your own races, and
slam cars to within an inch of their life as you
take to the streets of Byron Bay and Surfers Paradise.
With over 350 cars on offer for you to hoon around in, there's
something for everyone, be it a 2016 Lamborghini Centenario or
a 2014 Ford FPV Limited Edition Pursuit Ute. You can even cruise
the streets in the 2554 AMG Transport Dynamics M12S Warthog
CST – just without the Gauss Cannon.
It's never been more fun to drive around
'Straya, with little classic car projects
called Barn Finds hidden in various – you
guessed it – barns around the country,
and Bucket List adventures providing
the chance to do everything from crash
through the canopies in a buggy to
drifting through Surfers in a GTR. It's
an Aussie car lover's dream come true.

HISTORY – OCTOBER
Date: 1997
An open-world, action-adventure
game by the name of Grand Theft Auto is
released from DMA Design in October for
Windows, and later for PS1 in December.
The GTA series then goes on to sell
upwards of 150 million units.
Date: 2009
DJ Hero , a "spin"-off from the Guitar
Hero franchise, is released. Accompanied
by an actual truntable controller, it's
praised as a welcome deviation from the
guitar-based previous releases.

QUOTE
THIS
The development team on Forza Horizon 3 used
a 12K camera – three 4K cameras set up in an
"uber-rig" – to capture the Australian skies for
their game.
The team working on Watch Dogs 2 worked
alongside Ubisoft Reflections to improve the
driving model in the new game, following
community feedback on the original.
