GT Legends

[Captain Vlad]

I am so hooked.

I haven't had a car game since...well, I honestly can't remember. I've always enjoyed the arcadey ones like Ridge Racer, and I had some fun with the old 4-color Test Drive back in the day, but I'd never owned one myself in the modern era till I picked up Need For Speed: Carbon.

Had lots of fun with Carbon. Made me very interested in NFS: Pro Street, but I was leery of PS since I'd heard some bad reviews. All right, I'll DL the demo...

...and while it wasn't horrible, it lost all the cool 'illegal street racing ambience' of Carbon and replaced it with...well, nothing. Liked that the cars could be damaged now, though...why not try something more simmy?

Find a demo for a game called GT Legends. DL it. Two tracks (Well, one track and a shorter version therof) and three cars. Played the damn thing so much I might as well have uninstalled everything else, including Oblivion and SH4, my usual time sinks. Buy the real version bundled with GTR 2, same kind of game, with modern cars.

I've booted up GTR twice. GT Legends is constantly going. I'm obsessed.

Anyone else ever play it? Or other racing sims?

Yeah, I have GTR, GTR2, rFactor, Gt Legends, Race and Race 07. Spend most time in rFactor, though, more than any other game. Great mod community.

Yeah, I've DLed three or four tracks for GTL and all of them have had 'converted from my rFactor' track in the readme file. I'll have to look into that one.

I've got a deep fondness for heavy, hard-to-handle old muscle cars, though, which is probably why I'm enjoying GTL so much. On the second tier of single player now, and the next race is Spa, which I love driving on, but my times aren't that great on it.

Glad to see this thread. I have all the one's stabiz's has ( I think he tipped me off to some on another forum here.)

Love'em all and if they play with no probs graphicaly , I know it's not a hardware issue on SH3 & SH4 when I have ctd's. Ther almost a test tool in themselves.

rFactor is da BomB.

[Captain Vlad]

rFactor does look pretty impressive. Looks like it'd take a lot of mod downloading to turn it into the type of thing I'd REALLY like, though, and I'm on a satellite connection that'll happily throttle my bandwith if I start DLing whole hog.

Wish there was a sim-type race game with a built in car customizer to the level you see on the NFS series. Even if they dropped any aerodynamics-influencing car mods, custom paint and decorations would be awesome.

IIRC Capt. Vlad There out there in demo if you look hard enough.

Then you can play and make a good decision whether to spend the buck's on them. That's what I did. I hope this was of some help.

Money doesn't grow on tree's. Unless there Avocadoe's.

Yeah, I'll try the demo when the 'last 30 days' thing on my Wild Blue user page shrinks a bit. Never tried an open wheel sim before, but then, I'd never tried a classic car sim prior to GT Legends.
