GT Legends (new simbin sim)

[BlackZ28]

I took a few shots, settings maxed at 1280x1024
lowered res to 800x600

The cockpits are awesome, I hope GT5 has them!

 

[De Bolle]

The cockpits do look great. 👍
BTW, GT Legends does not simulate racing in the 60's and 70's. It recreates the current FIA-GT classic car series which takes place (obviously) on the current tracks.
IMO the game would have been more enjoyable if it would feature the old tracks.

I think the AI is pretty decent personally, but then I'm used to GTs dumb AI The car damage and collisions are abit cack though. I'm glad the 'cockpit bobbing' has been kept from GTR really helps the sense of speed and how far your pushing the car.

Had a nice neck and neck race with an elan when I was in the E-type. Although I was suprised when we reached the straight we were side by side... The elan overtook, thought E-type would be better on the straight! Not that I'm a big fan of any of the 3 demo cars, can't wait to drive the Capri

 

[BlackZ28]

Have you tried to race with the Elan yet? It handles like ****! I thought it would be easiest since its so light. I was WAY off. lol

 

[RSCosworth]

Damn this seems like a nice game. The demo itself is already brilliant, this is a must buy!
When is this coming out?

Seems to handle well for me. Harder to spin than the E-type (weight difference?) but dispite only racing for a couple of laps I managed to end up on my roof twice 1 time was my own fault but the other was the result of a corvette making contact with the side of my car at high speed

October 2005

 

[RSCosworth]

That soon!? Cool, I thought it was atleast half-a-year away. Gotta place a pre-order then 👍

I have to say that this is en excellent game. I got the demo today, and tried a the Corvette first, followed by the rest. It's a gas!! Very easy to pick up, even with the (damn) keyboard. I love the sounds, great cockpit view, and I love the physics engine. It runs fairly smoothly on my computer, although it can get slightly choppy at times. I just spent an hour on it, but it only felt like a few minutes. I'm gonna have to buy this game.

One question though. How do you get the Corvette Coupe to drive? I only found the speedster. I see that the coupe is available from the screenshots above, but I didn't find it.

For all that I know, you can't. Only the Elan, Jag and corvette are available in the demo.

 

[Slicks]

I thought so too, but Black95Z28 posted his screenshots of a corvette coupe racing with the Jag, Elan, & Corvette.

 

[iceburns288]

The AI drive different cars. You can see that some of them drive LHD Elans!

 

[r34jse]

im looking forward to driving the MK1 escorts.
BTW does i t have the same engine as GTR?? cos i love that game

 

[kikie]

It is supposed to be based on a new engine. A modified rFactor engine!!!

 

[kikie]

Release date is just a couple of days away

 

[T5-R]

/Makes a mental note to preorder it

I was not too impressed after downloading the demo (I'm a GPL driver btw). The cars just didn't like to drift (and when I mean drifting, a don't mean riccy-japanese-whatever style ) like in GPL...

Then I found out in Racecimcentral forums that, even in Pro-Simulation mode (or whatever the name is), there's still aids (oh well ). Edited the .PLR do get rid of the aids, and it started to behave more naturally for me.

Then, I started using my joystick as a h-shifter (again, search for FFB Shifter on RSC ) and, hey, what a blast (much better than using the paddles in my Momo Force). A pity the track is hideous and that it just askes for corner-cutting (some tire walls at the apexes at at the kerbs to prevent it like in real racing would be welcome in the final release).

All in all, I'm really enjoying it. And knowing that I'll get to drive the portuguese BDAs in the game (you'll be surprised by how fast they are ), it just is the icying in the cake

You guys are sooo lucky, I can't even avoid lag when having the graphics on the absolutely lowest set.
Can someone help with what hardware to purchase or just some graphics card setting?
Specs are following:
CPU: P4 1.7Ghz
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce 4 MX 420 👎
And that's about all I know from the top of my head... Help would be INCREDIBLY appreciated!

Thanks for the info about the aids, I'll give it a try. 👍

As for the track, I just love it, it has very good layout for battles (as in the Gilles Villeneuve / René Arnoux F1 vid), there's so much places to overtake.

That's hard. It is obvious that your computer isn't fast enough. I'm currently using a 64 bit 3.5 processor. Gigabyte motherbord with SLI!!! A nVidia 6600GT and still it is not good enough to try GTR or GTL demo to the fullest. I can't avoid lag as well. So I think, upgrading your computer won't make much of a difference. It is a wast of money (I think). You better try to save money and buy a whole new PC.

 

[CDailey]

woo hoo! I'm dling the demo right now. I'll see how I like it once I play it.

 

[BlackZ28]

Anyone have a car list of any kind?

 

[CDailey]

Well I downloaded and installed the demo. Honestly it didn't impress me too much. Maybe it was just the track and the car. Oh well, I'll still probably buy it.

 

[kikie]

Official site!!!!Click here!!!!

Maybe you can find the car list on the official GTL site???

I'm definitely not going to buy GTL. The graphics are (my personal opinion) just awfull. ==> look cartoonish, not realisitic. The game has potentional.

 

[Encyclopedia]

I just got it today! Fun, fun, fun! 👍

 

[kikie]

I'm definitely not going to buy GTL.

Don't mind my previous quote, I just got GTL and goin to try it right away.

 

[kikie]

If you are a hardcore simracer. Don't hesitate, go and get the game. It's worth it!!!!

[kikie]
