Forza Horizon and small ETS2 info update

The game so far was fun, map is not so small, it could be bigger of course, but it's varied, every place is unique. Drifting, racing, cruising, full-throttle speeding - all of them are enjoyable. However, it seems for me that tyres have more grip than in Forza 4, because now drifting untuned 130KM AE86 is harder, I mean it's harder to lose tyres traction.
What not satisfying I found in Forza Horizon in addition to previous disappointing aspects? In free roam online there is no traffic. :( In my opinion there should be option to turn on/off traffic in lobby settings, without AI cruising is not giving so much fun unfortunately.
Another thing: Forza Horizon have only 146 cars in showroom + 9 wrecks to find. Comparing to other games it is still quite good choice, but comparing to other games from Forza series... a little disappointing. I was thinking that game will contain about 250-300 cars.
The achievements seems to be quite easy, you need only some time to get them.

Now videos from FH. First 15 minutes of gameplay:

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor vs Dodge Charger SRT8 race:

Cruising in Ferrari 355 Challenge:


About ETS2:
Patch 1.1.3 is out, you can download it here.
Also, In next major update SCS is going to add licensed DAF trucks + improvements and tweaks in physics, AI, map, lightning and other things. Really nice that SCS is keeping so big support for their games even after release, many other companies will start selling DLCs instead.
At the end one delivery video from ETS2 also:

Forza Horizon (demo) - videos and first impression

My short opinion about demo: awesome. For me it's like grabbing best things from Forza Motorsport 4 (nice handling, big variety of cars, tuning (in full version of course)) and Test Drive Unlimited (open multi-player world where you can drive with friends as you want) and putting them together in Forza Horizon. Moreover very nice graphics with far-distance picturesque views and beautiful car quality (driving at night with inside camera is superb :D ).
However there are small defects:
1. Collisions with traffic. You can do head-on collision with traffic and the result is that your car loses a little bit of speed while traffic car is bouncing somewhere beyond the street. Too arcade in my opinion, even in Burnout Paradise head-on collision was much more "dangerous".
2. Off-road is rather arcade also. Lamborghini LP-640 Murcielago drifting on gravel road? ORLY?
3. During the drive the only thing you can do with car is... "driving". You can't turn on/off lights, flash long-lights, turn on blinkers, use horn, turn on/off engine... Hopefully you can change radio station or turn it off.
Anyway it's still great (must-have for me) game. So if you enjoyed Forza 4 and Test Drive Unlimited, there is high possibility that you will enjoy Forza Horizon. ;)
