"Gran Turismo 5 will be patched this weekend, according to Polyphony Digital. Studio head Kazunori Yamauchi told Eurogamer that the update will limit what cans can be used in online multiplayer. &amp;quot;We received a lot of demands for having more regulations placed on the online play. We&amp;#039;re going to perform an update on the 27th that will include things like max power restrictions and weight restrictions,&amp;quot; he said. Yamauchi said the game was a &amp;quot;living creature, dynamically growing as we speak&amp;quot; and plans to update it &amp;quot;every week, every month&amp;quot; to improve the game. He also commented on the single-player lag caused by high levels of online users at launch, admitting that it was in &amp;quot;a critical state&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;The data centre was set up to handle 500,000 connections but the number of connections we received greatly exceeded that amount and there was a high chance of experiencing problems as a result. &amp;quot;The design of the GT game really integrates the online and offline parts. So the problems online actually affected the offline play as well. &amp;quot;Right now we&amp;#039;ve changed the number of simultaneous connections that are possible to one million, doubling the number, and we&amp;#039;re trying to gauge what will happen, but we don&amp;#039;t know at this point in time.&amp;quot; Gran Turismo 5 was released on PlayStation 3 yesterday.
