Forza Horizon is finally getting its rally DLC and since we received a code yesterday evening, we managed to find time to capture a bunch of videos of the early stages of the game. As you'll see, the copilot can only be heard as the coward did not even accept to get in the car with us. Don't expect very realistic driving sensations of course, it's all very arcadey even without the driving aids. If you have any question, feel free to ask, we'll try to anwser.

Forza Horizon Rally Expansion Pack will be available tomorrow on Xbox LIVE. The racing game brings the thrill and danger of rally to Colorado with new cars, terrain, and off-road racing challenge. Pack will be available to download for 1,600 Microsoft Points or as a free download for players who own the Forza Horizon Season Pass.

I've found some old friends from the PGR2 days to play a bit of free-roaming Forza Horizon tonight, playing through a simple coop missing having us go through one point of the map to another quite far away. Sorry in advance about my driving, I'm not very good at this in the first place, and going to my current in-game Impreza to the 599XX was quite the experience :)
Update: Added a video showing the day/night cycle at two different points of the map.

If you are like me a big fan of the Project Gotham Racing series, take a look at the video I've just uploaded. Even though it's just one race among many very different others, I have to admit this one looks and plays strikingly similarly. I've been playing Forza Horizon all over the week-end, and I absolutely love this game and can't recommend it enough.
This video is also a test of our new direct to mp4 encoding system. Within a few days we are going to abandon all new wmv videos and only post mp4 files, with quite a nice quality gain in my opinion. Let us know what you think!

Big surprise this morning, Microsoft France sent us our copy of Forza Horizon. We didn't lose any time and rushed to prepare a bunch of videos for you guys, not without plugging in our Fanatec wheel. Enjoy!
