Forza Horizon 3: Aussies should expect to see familiar sights… right down to Telstra phone booths

Now that's authenticity... my brother's wife is Italian, and she says Playground's recreation of Nicé and it's surrounds was 'molto bene' (which is what Ezio says when he's happy with something)... as an Australian, I'm hoping for a similarly thorough recreation - not just geographically, but in-terms of cars (Monaros, Toranas, etc), music (Barnesy, Farnesy, etc) and some true-blue, 'crikey dingo' accents.

I wonder if they've adopted our road-rules for this one? As much as I've gotten used to driving on the right side of the road in games like Horizon 2, GTA and other open-worlders, I'd prefer my pedestrian traffic on the left for FH3... maybe they'll give us a 'road rules' toggle in the options menu?

Yes, you drive on the left hand side of the road in FH3, something I'm going to have to get used to coming from America! By the way, you guys really still have phone booths over there? I haven't seen one in 15 or 20 years!

Yeah, there's still a few around - less than there were back in the 'pre-mobile' era - but I still use them for 'private' conversations... as for the road rules, be prepared for accidental 'relapse'' to right-side rules - my friends and I drove around the US and we were constantly forgetting about US rules.

Broke a lot of laws and nearly died a lot... Arizona was a nightmare.

I was reading it's all just false reports from a troll who's done things like this in the past and not Nintendo themselves.

-Foxtrot4d ago

Well the games creator Gary Newman confirmed it himself on Twitter.

Seems that's still being debated.
