GT Legends game

Another:

Awesome graphics! I like the headligts in the first picture. Is this game already out, or is it yet to come out?

Matt - Cool... The second shot has three Panteras!!

The only problem is, in real life, they would all be out front!

The website (http://www.gt-legends.com/) shows it coming out in the first quarter of '06 in US, but much sooner in Europe, not sure why. The demo is already out, available on their website.

I finally got my copy two nights ago. gogamer.com is importing them into the US for us right now. The manual, and game is still in English, so it's cool.

I started my "career" last night. Started with a Mini Cooper and Lotus Cortina (cool car) in my garage. Gotta win some races to earn money, to buy other cars to go faster, and earn more money.

Won 8, 5 lap races and had enough money (and a free car) saved up to buy a Pantera. Yes! (why is buying and racing a virtual Pantera so exciting, when I have a real one in the garage?) There are three Panteras. Two full on race versions, and one that is closer to street. I thought I'd start with the street version and work my way up.

Now the only problem is that I need to unlock races that I can use the Pantera in. Right now, I can only test drive it by myself... but what fun!

I need to figure out how to record some gameplay, so that I can take you guys on a virtual race with me. hehehe

Attached is a scan from the January '06 magazine of PC Gamer, dealing with the review of GT Legends. The review not only pictures a Pantera in the main screen shot, but gives the game a great rating at 93%. Comes out Feb 6th. And yes, you can play it online.

Many of us current owners are 50-60 somethings who fell in love with the Pantera when it first came out. For those growing up after us, the cars were so rare and non-mainstream that they grew up never even knowing about them.

Now we have an entirely new, unthought of back in the '70s, exposure of the Pantera to a fresh, new generation.

I truly believe the video racing games ensure that when we must pass the wheel on our beloved cars - when the clutch becomes too much for our old, frail legs and grabbing the gearshift with arthritic hands is too painful, there will be no difficulty finding a new generation of owners just waiting for their chance at ownership.

Our Panteras will never die. They will always remain what they were designed as - a timelessly beautiful, functional mid engine sports car. And because of their simplicity (no computers, windshield displays,throw away plastic construction, they will remain rebuildable while other 'supercars' become undriveable museum/garage relics.

Long live the Pantera!

cool, even the correct color.

Is this the game w/ Pantera sounds?

Nah. Most of the sounds in the game are awesome, but the sounds on the Pantera dissapoint. Visually, the Panteras in the game are awesome (I like the other, more street oriented Pantera in the game better). The interior and exterior are both amazingly modeled and they're an absolute blast to drive. The street version has less horsepower and a bit of understeer, but as such, I don't usually screw up when racing it. The yellow one shown is the race version, which has a lot more power, huge fatty tires and has balanced handling which actually makes it more tricky to drive.

the cockpit view is great btw. You can see your arms turn the wheel, and when you shift you'll see your right hand drop down and shift. You can see your legs and feet as well, and they also work the pedals according to your inputs. Great attention to detail.

I have an old GP game like that - never could make a lap.

I've been using an old EA Sport/GT game for years - quite good in that one can change setups and such - but its still a keyboard deal (at my house).

If it isn't out in merika yet, how does one get one?

I recently bought the new GTR game from the makers of GT legends. This game is absolutely awesome. To my surprise I got the bonus pack which had GT Legends nestled inside. To make it more exciting it took me about 3 weeks before I finally noticed the Panteras were in the game. I am now trying to race my way to owning one. It is a truly amazing game and only outdone by the newest game GTR which has mind-blowing driving physics and even a driver training feature.

If you can't wait for your car, you can use this cheat to unlock all tracks and cars.

Create an empty file named "TG2001.DYN" in your GTL installation direction. Any
new profiles created in-game thereafter will have all tracks and cars unlocked
from the start.
