While Sony was especially tight-lipped about the PS5 until recent months, fans spent the last few years digging deep into the internet and uncovering the next best thing to official announcements: patent filings. While they don’t always come to fruition, the information found in patent filings steps beyond speculation and into the realm of legitimacy — they come straight from the console manufacturer, after all, and imply some level of time and resource investment from Sony.

Several patents were filed in the years leading up to PS5 that gave console enthusiasts plenty to chew on, ranging from conventional tech like the DualSense design to more outlandish ideas like an emotionally intelligent, robotic gaming buddy.

Now, with a much clearer picture of Sony’s PS5 plans, we’re revisiting 11 such filings to see which ideas have been realized and which have yet to come to pass.

• Updated user interface – The first thing you’ll notice is the sleek new user interface of the redesigned PS App. The new home screen lets you quickly see what your friends are playing and access details about your recently played games, including your Trophy List.

• Messages integration – For a unified experience, the PS Messages app feature will now be integrated in the updated PS App so you can seamlessly message your friends all in one place. As part of this integration, PS Messages will no longer be available as a standalone app. Your existing messages and threads in PS Messages will be carried over to the updated PS App.

• Voice Chat and Party Groups – You can now create party groups from PS App, and voice chat with up to 15 other friends though your mobile phone. Also, a note to fans: the PlayStation team is looking into your feedback around the Parties changes introduced in the PS4 system software update 8.00.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity's Demo Is Available Now

After 500K+ hours of testing, we’re are excited to share that all Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One games playable on Xbox One today, except for the handful that require Kinect, will be available – and look and play better – on Xbox Series X|S at launch.

Like a group of space explorers is search of a hospitable new planet, Pikmin 3 is the latest in a long line of charming Wii U gems to land on the more fertile ground of a suped-up Switch port, and goodness gracious does it deserve it. Already a fantastic mix of adorable real-time strategy and tricky spatial puzzles, Pikmin 3 Deluxe makes the original even better with some enjoyable content additions and boatload of impactful quality-of-life improvements. The only problem now is that I’m nearly out of reasons to keep my Wii U at all.

For those who didn’t play it in 2013, Pikmin 3 sends three intrepid explorers hurtling toward the surface of an alien planet in search of fruit to feed their homeworld. There they have to befriend, grow, and command the lovable little creatures that can help them repair their ship and collect enough fruit juice to stay alive while they do it. It’s simultaneously cute and intense as you race both your own juice supply and a sun timer to efficiently multitask and accomplish as much as you can each day, slowly opening more areas up as you unlock new types of these adorable and handy pikmin. Here’s what we said about Pikmin 3 in our original review:

“Pikmin 3 is a delight. There’s nothing else like its gentle combination of exploration, strategy, and discovery, and it made me feel both empathy and responsibility for virtual creatures that most games would treat as disposable fodder. It transported me like few other games can, giving the feeling of being a stranger in a strange (but oddly familiar) world. It's over too soon, but it leaves a lasting impression.” - Keza MacDonald, July 22, 2013

After decades of running over pedestrians by the dozen in open-world action games without a second thought, it’s actually a little bit unsettling to think that each of them might have unique talents and even the potential to be a hero. Not so much that I drive more carefully or anything, but after playing Watch Dogs: Legion I think about it a little bit more. Legion’s clever twist makes this third game in the series play like a hacker version of State of Decay, where every NPC can be recruited as a playable character and each has their own weapons, abilities, and traits that can give them very different playstyles. That lends it a much more sandboxy feel than the previous games because any given character can make the same mission feel dramatically different. It can be rough and experimental in places, but I have to hand it to Ubisoft for being willing to take chances like this.

Well it seems Spider-Man the Cat is out of the bag. https://t.co/ZzobA6Gls8

Or course we are. This sucks - who enjoys letting fans & community down?

Here's how you can participate:

• Create a Yappa account or sign in with a Facebook, Google, Disqus, or LinkedIn account.
• Look for the video commenting box at the bottom of our articles on both desktop and mobile web. Note that the feature is currently not available on our mobile apps.
• Hit the green bar with the speech bubble icon, allow access to your mic and camera if your permission settings require that step.
• You can choose between audio and video recording. We’d prefer video to see your face (and only your face, please -- although Samus and Master Chief helmets or God of War face paint, etc. are cool with us), but you can use the audio-only option if you’re having a bad hair day.
• When you can see your face, hit record to start recording your video. Hit stop when you’re done. You can leave a message that's up to 45 seconds long.
• You can rewatch your video and then choose to cancel or post.
• If you'd rather upload a video you recorded separately, you can use the Upload Media function to do so. This'll be handy to show off your amiibo or classic games collections. But please, no copyrighted content.
• You can watch and share videos from fellow commenters by clicking on their icons and you can follow contributors you like as well.

Well, I guess retirement didn’t last as long as I thought it would... I’ve started a new career adventure! New worlds await! Come see what the hubbub’s all about!https://t.co/0uGACe0r0c#Warchiefgaming
