GT Legends

[Franjo]

I've never played this game so I decided to pick it up at the race room store for 15 dollars Canadian (digital download).

I'm waiting on an order for a GT2 wheel and clubsports, so naturally I'm trying out all the different pc sim games.

I can honestly say that this game is simply amazing. I love it. The racing is wheel to wheel, the cockpit views look great, the cars are spectacular. I didn't expect this from a game released so long ago but I have nothing but good things to say about. I'm getting my feet wet in single player before I hop online and am having a blast just using my 360 controller. I can't wait to use a FFB wheel on this game.

Anyone else play this regularly?

GT Legends is by far my favorite PC game. Easily the best game that SimBin has made (in my opinion, of course) and I played it almost daily until I upgraded to Windows 7. The game won't play in Windows 7, which I didn't know so I've been without it for a long time.


Which operating system do you run? I've seen the ads for buying GT Legends digitally when I start Race On up, but do you have any idea if that will work with Windows 7?

Now I've really got the itch to play this game again. I hope it works with Windows 7 now...

I'm running it on Windows 7 64bit. The digital download copy is already upgraded to version 1.1

They dropped the copy protection on it which Windows 7 hated!

it was a fun game but the physics weren't very good, it's very hard to hold a slide.

If you like GT legends, you should probably get R-factor and download the HistoriX mod, it is a port of GT legend's content with a significant physics upgrade. And it is the best driving mod on Rfactor.

Sound interesting, finally I have rFactor running at 60fps without frame drops and this mod will go in my "next things to do list". Anyway nogrip have tons of mods and skins for the original GT legends, I don't own the game so I'll go with the rF mod, but who has it could take a look at nogripracing you'll find something cool. Check this Shelby Cobra for instance, a damn good looking car.

You guys did notice that the title was misspelled, right?

 

[HKS racer]

No, and honestly who care. You could send a PM to the OP, or ask a mod to fix the title.

 

[Franjo]

I tried to edit the title but I can't, my apologies. I know that there was a GT Legends port over moved to rfactor. I'll try that after I put a bunch of time into the original.

The amount of position changes in races and passing has been so much fun.

Title fixed.


GT Legends is a brilliant game. Unfortunately I recently upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit which (as mentioned in this thread already) the game does not get along with, so since then I haven't played it. Mind you GTR Evo has kept me busy. If anyone knows a fix to the copy protection issue, I would appreciate it greatly.

You can defeat the Starforce protection issue on Win 7 by going to gamecopyworld and getting a no-CD as described in this thread on nogripracing: http://www.nogripracing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=186595

I don't advocate this normally but if you have the Starforce protected version of the disk you really don't have a choice. Since you bought the disk and have no support I see it as a fair use issue.

Another better alternative is to get the no Starforce version from Amazon (it's only about $10 USD).

Yeah it is amazing game. Very underrated I would say this is the best SimBin game

Thanks for the response. I would not advocate piracy (in fact it is a ban-able offence on this site to discuss) however it is a genuine copy with Starforce protection so I am a little bummed that there is no support from Simbin regarding the issue.

Thank you for the information.

Could you link me to a version that contains no Starforce protection, because I can't seem to find anything on Amazon that says which version doesn't have it.

Thank you

 

[rumblina]

Any.

A DDL shouldn't have Starforce/Securom, etc (they are CD/DVD copy protects ultimately). Only other modes of SF that I know of are doc protection.

If your DL was to come with any type of protection method, your invoice would contain the info to override anyway.

I may have misspoke guys, sorry. I tested out my newer copy of the game (a version that comes on 1 disk instead of 3) from Amazon that I got for 10 bucks and it did have Starforce on it after all. I've heard that there is a newer version of GTL with no Starforce on it, but after some research it may have been a free version that was repackaged and given to subscribers of a certain German magazine.

There is hope though, Race room has a digital download of GTL with no Starforce. This is confirmed through their site: http://www.raceroom.net/games/gt-legends/ (just click on the support tab and it indicates this). It's 9.99 Euros so the price isn't bad either.
