Polyphony's unleashed the latest Gran Turismo 5 patch which adds mechanical damage settings online.
Polyphony Digital boss Kaz Yamauchi, gave news on the new update at the beginning of the month saying that it would address fan concerns with the game's controversial mechanical damage system, which was previously unlocked with in-game experience. Initial reports on the update are suggesting that control over damage levels is, however, limited to online modes.
Players have three levels of "none", "light" and "heavy" to choose from.
The next Gran Turismo 5 
patch is expected to allow save data back-ups and will arrive at the end of the month.
The patch weight around 150 MB and it will add a mechanical damage to the game along with an option of either none, light or heavy damage.
Gran Turismo 5 is a racing game that brands itself as "the real driving simulator". Players can compete in various types of races that range from hot hatches to go karts to exotics to NASCAR and WRC. As with previous Gran Turismo games, players can race in a straightforward "arcade mode" for quick one-off races or log into GT Mode to enter in a series of challenges and structured races to gain experience points and credits. Experience enables players to race at increasingly higher levels, while credits can be used to buy cars. The game features a whopping one thousand-plus cars divided into two categories: "Standard" and "Premium". The difference between the two is level of detail and the realistic cockpit view. Players can customize their cars by visiting the Tuning Shop. GT5 players can also customize tracks with a new course maker or ride on pre-built courses, like the test track from popular BBC show Top Gear. Online multiplayer for up to 16 players not only gives GT5 legs, but establishes a strong community of players.
Gran Turismo 5 has been home to a few online issues since its launch a couple days ago, and producer Kazunori Yamauchi quickly announced an update for later in the week. However, Polyphony Digital turned on the turbo and has released the patch earlier than expected.
As promised, Polyphony Digital has released its first major post-release patch for racing simulator Gran Turismo 5. The patch is named v1.03, and its 113 megabytes of content have increased the number of connections in addition to adding horsepower and weight restriction options to online mode.
More server stability and content within days of launch.
