For nylig afslørede Polyphony Digital, at til trods for at du sagtens kan spille Gran Turismo 7 uden at køre direkte imod andre spillere, så vil spillet kræve en internetforbindelse. Det har vist sig at være en sandhed med modifikationer, for du kan eksempelvis spille Arcade helt offline. Men størstedelen af spillet vil kræve internet, og hvorfor? For at forhindre snyderi, siger de.
I et interview med Eurogamer fortæller Kazunori Yamauchi, at snyderi er så stort et problem, at internetforbindelseskravet er nødt til at blive implementeret.
"The requirement for the online connection isn't specific to the Cafe per se - it's just to prevent cheating overall from people trying to modify the save data, so that's the reason for the online connection. And just to update on the feature itself, there's two functions to it. One is to direct the user to the next objective meeting, and also to get them to get involved in collecting some of those cars."
Du kan se den seneste trailer herunder. Spillet udkommer d. 4 marts.
