1. V-Sync Support (Finally!)

With another patent we have yet another confirmation of Sony's plans for the future. A filing from last month makes it clear that Sony is working on V-sync support for the PS5, which eliminates screen tearing by matching a game's frame-rate to the display's own refresh rate.

It's a GPU-intensive technology and therefore not typically a part of the game console equation, but it looks like Sony's about to change that with the PS5.

It'd be a major step forward for bringing consoles further in line with gaming PCs, and while not a major selling point to the casual gamer, will certainly prick up the ears of those who do most of their gaming on a desktop at present.

What do you make of these confirmed PS5 features? Excited or disappointed? What else would you like to see? Shout it out in the comments!
