Watch_dogs and Midtown Madness

I'm not one for conspiracy theories and also this will show my age..

Anyone remembers the old Microsoft game called Midtown Madness (1 and 2). It was one of the first open-world driving games taking place in a city and I just found it interesting as I took a dive down my memory lane that the locations are matching.

Midtown Madness 1 took place in Chicago, Midtown Madness 2 had two cities, coincidentally San Francisco and London.

Nothing to see here, just I found it interesting, and wondering if anyone played those games.

Tinfoil hat off, back to work. :)
