VRMag began by reviewing HalfLife 2 with panoramic screenshots. This generated a great deal of feedback suggesting that publishers and developers in the gaming industry present their titles through panoramic images when previewing the upcoming titles.

The developer team, SimBin, well known to the online racing community thanks to the FIA-GTR title (which we have also reviewed with panoramic shots), gave us a build of the game close to release, with full race tracks and final car models. In order to make an authentic racing game, 10tacle and SimBin bought a license from the sport’s governing body. Equipped with the official license of the FIA GTC '65, FIA TC '65 and FIA GTC-TC '76, SimBin brings us over 90 of the most legendary GT and touring cars of the past generations.
GT Legends is the first game featuring all the legends of classic car racing. Here the feeling is reminiscent of touring cars drivers in the '60s and '70s when stepping into a Jaguar e-Type, a DeTomaso Panthera, or a Ferrari 275 GTB and driving to the limits was most extraordinary.
Taste the racing driving style (driftings) of these courageous drivers. From the famous Mini Cooper to the muscular Corvette Stingray and fire-breathing BMW CSL, GT Legends is the first game featuring all the legends of classic car racing. In decades past, these mythical machines regularly met in fierce combat on racetracks across the world. This was the time when racecars were nasty, super-powered brutes. It took no less than fearless manhandling and wit to survive the hard wheel-to-wheel racing that define their era.
We shot some interesting panoramic views with in-game action and captured some very nice views and funny racing action. The game features and the graphic engine are impressive, thanks to the ability to boost the directx9 new features. The daylight feature allows you to play 24 over 24 with real-time changing light (dawn, daylight, dusk).
So strap on your belts, and, for the first time in gaming history, PREVIEW the soon-to-be-released GT Legends in 360-degree immersive panoramas.
All panoramas were stiched with Realviz' Stitcher 4.0.
Release October 2005.
