Keep digging that hole
Coming off the back of its release date announcement, it turns out that Metal Gear Survive is an online-only game. The information comes from the title's official website, which states: "An internet connection is required to play the game."
Just when you thought that hole couldn't get any deeper, eh? Next they'll be telling us it has microtransactions and loot boxes.

About Robert Ramsey
Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

I thought this was already known? At least it was pretty obvious to me. And what's wrong with online only games? :s
I get it Konami suck and this'll probably bomb, that's a given.
This confirms kojima bigger than konami
Yeah, I'd assumed it'd be online-only, too.
This might be interesting if it didn't smell of a cash grab by Konami. Personally I think they would have been better off with a MGSV follow on using the same engine and mechanics. This looks like they are pulling a Capcom with Umbrella corps,
Shock Horror and no surprise.
Online only I am out ,a U turn
GT5 and 6 and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain are all needed to be played should tie me over till this online only nonsense is over.
To be clear:
The game does not star any of the main characters from Metal Gear. The zombie enemies haven't featured in any Metal Gear game before. There are no Metal Gears. The game takes place in another dimension than the world of Metal Gear. It is online only.
They really went out of their way to make this anything but a Metal Gear game.
So much hate on Konami and this game before it releases. There are plenty of online only games on the PS4 which have done just fine. Personally I do not want a game to fail but thats just my attiude towards games and the staff who work on them.
I'm still wondering why is metal gear rising where is it going?
The real question is can it compete with Umbrella Corps?
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Seriously this looks way better than Umbrella Corps!!
Meh
I bet 10 euros it's going to have some sort of loot box
@kyleforrester87 Well thats a compliment.
I'm wondering if this will end up on ps+.
@kyleforrester87 can anything be as bad as that was though really?
This was the final straw, removing the game from my wishlist.
Online only sucks for people like me who rely solely on a 4g phone hotspot. I already don't play online games any more but thankfully my cell provider has a deal where I can stream TV services data free.
I can't wait for people who never planned to get the game anyway to get upset at this news.
Well there goes one sell from myself. As i do not buy online only games.
Trypnophobia intensifies
@kyleforrester87 it was meant to be a joke 🤣
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I'm not having it!!!!
I'm really dissapointed by these kind of posts from pushsquare tbh. I get the feeling you intentionally light these flamewars with your very oppinionated posts for more views. Siding with the toxic community too, I guess you really need those views.
I see myself coming to your website less and less and going to playstation lifestyle more and more. Enjoy the toxic enviroment you are creating for yourself.
