We've gotten a first real look at the PS4 and PS5 controller side-by-side. Revealed after a Geoff Keighley livestream about the new DualSense controller, the presenter posted a side-by-side comparison of the two:

As expected, the PS5 controller does look a tad heftier than the DualShock, but not hugely so. Keighley mentioned during the stream that the controller felt slightly heavier, but only slightly. After a reveal in April, we've learned a lot about the new controller's haptic feedback, adaptive triggers (and a little less about its still-mysterious Create button). Microsoft has already revealed the Xbox Series X and its controller, and we've broken down how these new controllers compare to each other. For more on PlayStation 5, be sure to check out the PS5's full specs and how it compares to Xbox Series X, why audio could be Sony's next-gen console's killer feature, and read Sony's comments on how the COVID-19 pandemic should not delay the launch of the PlayStation 5.

Developing...  

Earlier this week, rumors began to swirl that the PlayStation 5 would go up for preorder, much to the surprise of, well, everyone, including Sony. In the wake of those rumors, PlayStation has promised that PS5 preorders won't catch players by surprise. Speaking to Geoff Keighley after a brief showcase of the PS5's DualSense controller, Worldwide Head of Marketing Eric Lempel said "I think it's safe to say...we'll let you know when preorder will happen. It's not going to happen with a minute's notice. We're going to at some point let you know when you can preorder PlayStation 5. So, please, don't feel like you have to go run out and line up anywhere until you receive official notice on how that will work." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/17/playstation-5-dualsense-controller-hands-on-livestream"] Rumors kicked into overdrive on Monday, with many speculating that the PS5 would go up for preorder, in part because the PS5 Amazon page of information was added. And while website updates like that only fanned the flames of speculation, the system never ended up being available for preorder. And that fervent expectation even surprised Sony. "We don't know what happened there, we had nothing to do with it. I got a message from someone saying 'People are lining up at stores' and we had no idea why," Lempel said. So while players can't still buy a PS5, it's safe to say Sony is aware of the demand and will give players some warning ahead of when it is available to preorder. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=playstation-5-and-playstation-5-digital-edition-console-design-images&captions=true"] Earlier this week, we learned via a new report that PlayStation is allegedly upping its production of PS5 consoles, and last week we got a first look at what PS5 box art will look like.

Animal Planet has released a trailer for its upcoming Tiger King documentary, which was filmed just four months before Joe Exotic's arrest. The new trailer offers fans a sneak peek at the one-off special that is set to follow the stories of the animals that were rescued from the G.W. Zoo and given a second chance at life after Exotic was sentenced to 22-years in federal prison for two counts of murder-for-hire in an attempt to kill animal rights activist Carole Baskin, as well as numerous other wildlife violations, per The Washington Post. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/31/netflixs-tiger-king-murder-mayhem-and-madness-season-1-review"] "Four months before he was arrested on murder-for-hire charges, Animal Planet cameras were given special access to Joe Exotic's tiger empire," the teaser reveals before showing an interview with Exotic (real name Joseph Maldonado-Passage), which was originally filmed for Animal Planet's Wolves and Warriors program in 2018. Paired with never-before-seen footage, the documentary shares some insight into Exotic's day-to-day running of the animal park, while the crew conducts interviews with some of its former employees, including Gaylynn Eastwood and Saff Saffery, who lost an arm to one of the tigers, and others with firsthand knowledge of the animal trafficking and breeding, such as rescue leaders and exotic animal experts. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=best-true-crime-shows-and-movies-to-watch-online&captions=true"] Netflix's Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness documented the vicious rivalry between big cat enthusiasts Exotic and Baskin, with the former making it his personal crusade to destroy Baskin, which ultimately resulted in his conviction in a plot to try to murder her. Exotic repeatedly resurfaced rumours that Baskin murdered her husband Don Lewis, whose disappearance has never been solved. Surviving Joe Exotic airs on July 25 at 10 p.m. (ET/PT) on Animal Planet. In the meantime, find out what happened to Tiger King's cast of characters after the docuseries ended and discover all of the revelations made by the motley crew of Joe Exotic's big cat park in the aftershow.

The Last of Us Part 2 was June 2020's best selling game and has now become the 3rd best-selling game of the year, the 8th best-selling game of the twelve month period ending in June, and has the highest launch month dollar sales of any 2020 release to date in the US. As revealed by The NPD Group's Mat Piscatella, The Last of Us Part 2's first month sales have surpassed other games as Final Fantasy VII Remake, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Doom Eternal to claim the top spot. The Last of Us Part 2, which also became the fastest-selling PS4 exclusive with over 4 million copies sold in its first three days, only trails Marvel's Spider-Man for the biggest launch month for a Sony published game. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/02/best-games-of-2020-so-far"] Rounding out the top five for June 2020 are Call of Duty: Modern Wafare, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Grand Theft Auto V, and Mortal Kombat 11. Perhaps the most impressive jump, however, was Ring Fit Adventure, which made it to #7 after ranking #835 last month due to stock shortages. The full list of June 2020's Top 20 Best-Selling Games is as follows;
