Not bad. The price of a drink

Cool. The cars are good; more interested in the “partnership” thing, though.

Partnership thing?

Edit: Just scrolled down and found out what you meant. Hoping this isn’t another exclusive license type thing.

If that turns out to be an exclusive license type agreement similar to what EA held for years, it would be good for those that enjoy Forza in that Porsches are no longer their own expansion pack and that it means that we can drive a Porsche day one without DLC in FM7 as well as securing and extendeing the position of Forza being the dominate racing game franchise. At the same time, an exclusive license would mean that Microsoft can block Sony or any other company from placing Porsches in their racing games such as GT Sport unless they are willing to pay a large sum of money to them which will be bad especially for PS4 players which would be left with no new racing games that have any Porsche car in them at all.

Considering that PCars2, GT Sport and Asetto Corsa have Porsche, it doesn’t sound like it. Unless they ALL paid Microsoft/T10 for a sub license.

Video for Porsche and Microsoft Announce Multi-Project Partnership for Industry-Leading Forza Franchise
We’re thrilled to share that today at the New York International Auto Show, Porsche and Microsoft’s Turn 10 Studios announced a six-year partnership to collaborate on a suite of co-branded initiatives for Porsche and the Forza franchise. The partnership kicks off today with open registration for Porsche’s esports sponsorship debut in Forza Racing Championship Season 3: The Porsche Cup – the most inclusive racing esports program and home to the largest online racing community in gaming. Today also brings the release of the Forza Horizon 3 Porsche Car Pack, featuring an exciting lineup of Porsche cars for 2016’s best-selling racing game Forza Horizon 3, exclusively on Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs.

We entered this premium partnership with Porsche as a result of their shared passion for sports cars and motorsport. Porsche has a rich history of motorsport which combined with Turn 10’s unrivaled position in digital racing entertainment has formed the basis for a new and exciting form of seamlessly integrated racing entertainment. The partners are working to develop and launch new ways to combine driving experiences, racing schools, and dominant motorsport successes with Forza’s regular cadence of high-quality game experiences, content, and events. Our six-year partnership is starting off strong with ForzaRC, and we can’t wait to show everyone what else we have planned.

“By having Microsoft as our partner, we have the opportunity to take the pleasure of driving a Porsche and making it an experience in the virtual world”, says Detlev von Platen, Member of the Executive Board responsible for Sales and Marketing at Porsche AG. “Racing games and esports connect the real and virtual worlds and enable us to gain further access to the young target group. It means that they can develop a passion for Porsche even before buying their first sports car”.

The Forza franchise is home to the largest online racing community in gaming – in fact, over four million players race in Forza each month. As the most inclusive racing competition in gaming, ForzaRC is an esports program where players of all skill levels compete for glory. Building on the success of ForzaRC’s debut with two seasons in 2016, which drew nearly one billion impressions, fans can now register for Forza Racing Championship Season 3: The Porsche Cup, which begins May 1.

Kicking off ForzaRC this year is the Forza Racing Championship 2017 New York Invitational Presented by Porsche on April 15-16 at Microsoft’s flagship store on Fifth Avenue, showcasing 18 of ForzaRC’s Elite players from around the world competing for a chance to win $25,000 in cash prizes, plus a Drift competition between two of ForzaRC’s top drifters. Guests will also have a chance to race ForzaRC Elite drivers and even Porsche professional driver Matt Campbell on April 15. We also invite fans to join us from home by tuning into the Beam livestream, Twitch and YouTube, featuring a guest appearance by Campbell.

The New York Invitational is just the beginning for ForzaRC in 2017. Following the Invitational, Season 3 players can participate in two different competitions in Forza Motorsport 6 for Elite drivers and Forza Horizon 3 for casual players. Players will get the chance to race in a wide variety of Porsche models over four weeks of intense competition, culminating in a finals event at a special location, where winners will take home $100,000 in cash prizes.

We look forward to collaborating with Porsche to continue delivering more content and ForzaRC experiences for our fans, so stay tuned to ForzaMotorsport.net for future updates.

Porsche Car Pack for Forza Horizon 3
Also available today, the Forza Horizon 3 Porsche Car Pack adds seven acclaimed Porsche vehicles to the open world of Australia’s Horizon Festival, including cars new to Forza and making their debut on this console generation. With this car pack, players can experience prime examples of the breadth and depth of Porsche’s automotive history from classic racing models like the 1960 718 RS 60 to modern-day vehicles like the 2016 911 GT3 RS, the 2016 Cayman GT4, the recently launched 2017 Panamera, and more. Head over to ForzaMotorsport.net for more details on each of the cars featured in the pack.

I got to buy a X box gift card…I know a lot of people will have fun …with the racing liveries and such…but no 86 944 Turbo …that is my favorite Porsche next to 959 and 928 which has never been in a game!

[Frost_UKR]

7 $? lol

So 5 out of 7 cars in the pack are new to the entire franchise on the current-gen consoles. For 2 cars (718 RS 60 & 550 Spyder) we already payed in FM6 but they are still new to the Horizon series. A bit of a bummer but in the end I can live with that considering what else I’m about to write.

The best news though is that this is not the second expansion pack. Kudos to T10/Playground for releasing most of the new Porsches as a plain car pack and bringing the older ones to the game as free Forzathon updates. With Porsche making appearances in about every other racing game as well I think this is the best way to deal with it. And I will expect that future games like FM7 will have Porsche in the base game from the start as well. The EA rule is (finally) over.

So the best thing to come out of this is that the second half of my expansion pass will not be wasted on “just Porsches” but most likely will see new proper content worthy to be called an expansion, hopefully and most likely something with a map expansion. I have big hopes that this will be Tasmania, would be nice to have a separate island expansion and the contrast with Blizzard Mountain would be nice.

I was not planning to buy any future DLC packs anymore since I barely play the game anymore but with this exciting new move in regards to adding Porsche to the game without wasting the expansion pass on it I have to say Turn 10 / Playground finally make a move again of which I think it’s good and gives a good feeling.

I’m glad they brought back the 1995 911 GT2. It was my fav in fm4. Hope they kept those extra spoiler/wings they had before.

Funnily enough, though I was going to buy this, the cars I’m most interested in aren’t actually included in the DLC pack, but are free in the Forzathon events. So maybe I should just wait and get those.

something’s gone kablooey on T10’s end of things… or Microsoft’s side of things. They’re working on it atm, but there’s no word on a timeframe for a solution

[ajd440ex38]

Yes, Finally. I can’t wait to get home and start tuning, painting and driving.

[BeardedWolf1069]

The good news is, it’s not an Expansion. Just a big car pack. Good. That’s how it should be done 'cause, really, Porsche Expansion would have been a waste. And now I can’t wait to see what the next expansion pack is.

This is going to be interesting to see what the second expansion is now.

PS: its not a big car pack just normal size 7 car car pack. Just filled with Porsches.
