DH Article: GT Legends (PC)

***Zardon*** · Dec 18, 2005, 04:09 PM

Rasta has just finished a great review of GT Legends on the PC - he has also created a great 3 minute video of him driving on Donington track. now if only I could handle a car like that!

The game is modeled after FIA-GTC racing, a popular vintage racing series in Europe. Although the cars are old, the settings are not, and you night feel like you are in a bit of a time warp sitting in your 1965 Shelby GT350, while the LCD screen of the lap timer ticks away on the dash. The courses are modern as well, and you will drive on many dedicated road courses that were not in existence in the 60’s, and others, such as the Nurburgring, which have been entirely reconfigured since these cars had their heyday.

ViRuS2k · Dec 18, 2005, 04:24 PM

but dam hell LOL its another starforce protection game.

Nice vid

Nice read too...

My only gripe with the game... More starforce

But it's amazing nonetheless!

***Zardon*** · Dec 18, 2005, 04:28 PM

Ive never played it, but it seems to run smooth in the video.

Dark Lord · Dec 18, 2005, 06:20 PM

video doesnt work for me with IE or FF. with IE the video pops up but it just says stopped.

***Zardon*** · Dec 18, 2005, 06:43 PM

its working fine. try right clicking save as to desktop.

NSF porche unlimited was one of my all time favorites - so having this compared has made me very tempted. Nicely written review.

great job Rasta I wanted to check that game out but it didnt like XP x64 Edition

Nice review.. I also hate starforce with a passion. It always ends up messing with my rig for some reason.. ISI developed the physics and gfx engine for GTL, the gmotor 2 engine- also used in rFactor.

rF is more for mods than a complete game of it's own... but that's what I am playing now, it is actually very similar to GTL in a lot of ways.

Is there a lancia delta integrale? I love that car, I still think I might have to buy a copy of this game though

niceguyrichy · Dec 19, 2005, 12:15 PM

outstanding review rasta !

I love games like this, i still play the old gp legends game

think this might have to be an xmas pressy to myself

Rasta Monsta · Dec 19, 2005, 01:19 PM

Thanks for the kind words, all.

This game is awesome. If you like driving, it is a must buy, and despite the 2/06 North American release date, I was able to find the game being sold online as an "import."

rasta

P.S. SturReal, there are no Lancia models, but that Elan 26R ought to satisfy your cravings for light, tossable handling.

Dark Lord · Dec 19, 2005, 01:42 PM

sorry but still no go on the video. its trying to save as either a text doc or an image, depending on what browser im useing.

Sometimes I have that problem with videos on DH reviews.. Usually if I just keep trying about 25 times it eventually downloads the file.. or streams it.

It's a weird thing... when it happens to me I get a very small file, but it is actually the start of te video, like 20 to 40k..

Sometimes I have to clear my cache after the first few times it doesn't work..

***Zardon*** · Dec 19, 2005, 02:29 PM

Well I honestly have no idea why that might be, its a simple link to a movie file, pretty standard code. I test everything in all browsers on 2 or 3 machines at home, and I tested this in work today on totally different machines. So therefore the only reason is either issues with routing, or specific setups and browser settings on machines.

if of course it fails to stream (Firefox is the worst for this), then right click save as to your desktop.

Sandok · Dec 19, 2005, 02:35 PM

I use firefox without any problems... Though I HAVE had some a few times with IE and FF but honestly, works fine... Just click: save as

Dark Lord · Dec 19, 2005, 02:44 PM

there we go, finaly got it to download. had to get it 3 times.... first 2 videos were only 20-40k in size, the 3rd one finaly came out to the 11 some megs.

well now that ive watched it, it doesnt quite seem to be GT4, but it does look like it may be fun.

Isn't that weird! Happened to me too a few times (not on this video though).. I think it was that Q4 video.
-but I can't explain it.

Sandok · Dec 19, 2005, 03:04 PM

Don't worry... Me too for the Q4 that happened...
