san_Assassin Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Gran Turismo Sport Will Need Online Connectivity For A Substantial Portion Of Its Functionality and Features More and more, we are making the move towards games that are all but inert in the absence of online connectivity- now, Sony’s upcoming Gran Turismo Sport joins their ranks. In a post on the PlayStation Blog, SCEA Product Manager Ken Chan has confirmed that the game will require online connectivity for “the majority of its functionality”. The reason for that is the game’s online championship, which is endorsed by, and in synch with, the FIA and its own official motorsport tournaments around the world. The online connectivity requirement will ensure a fair environment with minimal cheating and exploits. The single player functionality, as a result, appears to be severely compromised- “portions of the Arcade Mode, including limited two-player split screen, single-player races on select tracks, and time trials” are identified as modes and features that can be accessed offline, suggesting that the rest of the game is off limits to you unless you can use the internet to ring home. This is a major shame, especially given the expanded fanbase and popularity that Gran Turismo games enjoy- I understand why it has been done, but that does not make me any happier about it. source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a waste really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarbonCore Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Network stress test I guess. It says beta in the name, not demo. Also your progression and credits will carry over to main game if you choose to purchase it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuderiaT1fos1 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Have you been able to purchase any cars? I can't purchase any , keeps saying " Feature not available in this version". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEMAN Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Apart from test and arcade mode you get only 7 cars that will be carried over to full game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mango_man Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Full car list is tiny and meh.. Gameplay is super clean...infact a bit too clean and almost 'unexciting'. Controls are great. Graphics are great. Feels like a prologue. :l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
