PSU will offer an OFFLINE RPG style gameplay that you can enjoy for roughly about 40 hours. and so the answer is no you dont have to connect to the internet

also after finishing the story mode u will be able to access the extra mode which can let you create and play a character for infinite time....

ok thanks.

I thought for the PC version you needed too *shurgs* i could very well be wrong though.

From IGN's preview article of PSU


PSU will ship with both single and online multiplayer.


So this must mean that you'll have the same RPG gameplay for PC versions. Since PSU is coming out on PC, PS2, and XBOX 360

Slight correction Feratique, you don't actually HAVE to beat the game to play Extra, just beating Story Mode (so I shall call it) areas allows you to play them in Extra Mode.

sorry for the knit picking

oh yeah sorry about that i just reread the extra mode guide on pso-world. You are right "As you progress through Story Mode, Extra Mode will become available."

no problem, i sometimes missread stuff thnks for the "knit picking" =)

what about downloading content from online for offline usage. like updates and new weapons or what not?

What about the news which said "your computer will have to be connected to the Internet at all times, even if you just want to play the offline story mode", like steam's setup for HL2.

Was that found to be false? I don't really know myself, I haven't heard anything more about it other than the original PSOworld article, oh and here's the article is anyone if wondering...

Unless Ryna verify that the article is right in saying that you need to be connected at all times. I still think that it is not necessasry to connect to the internet when playing offline mode.

Just found the topic it was discussed in, online connection for offline play will obviously won’t be required for the PS2 version, but it could very well be for the PC version in a bid to clamp down on Piracy.

Sounds like a bit of a hassle, but that's an actually a good idea, O_O

I plan to play it on the ps2.
