Ah the irony. Needing an internet connection to play a game without the internet.

Welcome to the future.... coming soon refridgerators with internet and if internet is down you cant open it.

Worse part is considering there will be programming in those, it's possible that some bug exist that it doesn't open.

I enjoyed the demo, so I bought it. Plus I'm a VR junkie.

But I agree it's pretty shitty, always online and 1v1. I already lost progress in the demo due to a disconnect. Not that it matters since all progress is reset while they said it would carry over?!

Sony are idiots for not making GT Sport a poster child for VR, at least on pro they could have done better.
Losing progress when disconnected is even worse. What kind of cheats were people using in GT6 that they've become this paranoid. Have a separate online garage you can also use offline yet not vice versa, problem solved.

It has a manual save option in the menu, "cannot save game, server not available" f you.
Would leaving it on keep your progress? (What is this, 1987?)

Yep, we have pointed this before, if they are worried about cheats on the offline portion affecting the online, just make the game split in two, the only things you need from offline version is the license test cleared to be able to race a type of event, but the cars, level and credits for the online needing to be won on the Multiplayer portion while the SP content can be played offline if you want.

Perhaps enough backlash will get things patched. Hope they don't say "it isn't as easy as flipping a switch, it's an integral part of the product".

E SPORTS baby , that's where GT is heading. Going to be online only from now on.

Unfortunatelly seems so.

I love GT and I've owned Sony consoles since 1995 but this is a dick move. PSN goes down for maintenance from time to time which means, no GT Sport for you. That right there is enough to call bullshit on the entire idea. Hopefully there will be a patch down the line.

Well, worse yet, it can be unacessible even if only PD server is off-line, so it's prone to be off on 3 possibilities... your conection isn't working, PSN is down or their server is down. Too many cases to impair the SP portion of the game.
