Video Game copies a real garage from a 6speed member

2thfixr (member here an on 6speedonline) noticed something way to similar on the video game "test drive unlimited"

[/quote]

I believe this guy's garage circled the internet a few years back. Looks like the video game programmers copied his garage!!!

Lame to the max.

They even copied the locations of the protection TV and the video game consoles.

I say he should demand royalties from the game, or threaten them, because they used his information without permission.

Did anyone play the game? It is amazing, the most awesome graphics I've ever seen, it has the entire Island of Hawaii mapped, with GPS system and all, and the selection of cars is unbelievable.

Yeah, I know, physics aren't the greatest, and neither is control. If you want a game with really good physics, check out LFS - www.liveforspeed.com, I've been playing it for years, it's the best sim I've ever played.

And I'm gonna check out the patch tomorrow, hopefully it has some of the much needed fixes. Any word on the Lexus cars addon? I know xbox version has LS and IS in it, but not the PC.
