Press release:
GT Legends
The historic racing simulation will be released as scheduled at the beginning of OctoberDarmstadt, 22nd September 2005: Publisher 10TACLE STUDIOS AG and developer SimBin Development Team are delighted to see that the scheduled release date in the ATARI sales territories will be kept without any problems thanks to achieving the “GT Legends” goldmaster on time. “GT Legends” takes you right back to a time when there were no technical driving assistants or electronic aids used in motor sports and when the driver had to tame the powerful “HP beasts” with his own skills. The great era of the touring car racing is being simulated in “GT Legends” in a unique way and the game revives the legendary cars of those days.
The first Beta version of this modern classic has already received numerous accolades in the previews and some games magazines even named it the best sports game of the E3. The photorealistic graphics, the authentic driving models, the human-like AI and the fine tuning of the new entry mode for beginners, the career mode were honed once more in the meantime. “GT Legends” will definitely – just like its predecessor “GTR – FIA GT Racing Game” – set new standards for racing simulations.
