Guy "Dr. DisRespect" Beahm, the banned Twitch streamer, has revealed more details about his studio's AAA FPS blockchain game, including a name: Project Moon.

Today, his newly founded studio Midnight Society revealed details about the upcoming game. According to the studio's website, the game is a "vertical extraction shooter" with PvPvE gameplay. "Our high-level gameplay goals are to capture the essence of arena shooter level design with the scale and scope of battle royale player counts, and the session-to-session gameplay mechanics of extraction-based shooters," the website reads.

As development continues, small glimpses into the game will be released through Snapshots, which the site describes as "playable experiences focused around specific milestones" exclusively available for Access Pass holders. Through these Snapshots, players will be able to test various aspects of development, though they'll have to pay to do so. Earlier this year, 10,000 of these access passes were already sold to select individuals via a "Founders Pass" NFT for $50 apiece. Other access passes are planned to be sold at later dates.

The first Snapshot, Player Hideout, demonstrates the game's environment and weapons through various shooting ranges.

Previously, Beahm founded the studio in 2021 alongside ex-Halo and Call of Duty developers, though not much was known about the in-progress game until today.

Beahm initially rose to fame as a Twitch streamer, though he was permanently banned in 2020 for reasons that are still unclear. After revealing plans to sue Twitch, his legal dispute was since resolved, though he doesn't plan to return to the streaming platform anytime soon.

The canceled Doom 4 was apparently going to be wildly different than its predecessors, and a new video of unedited footage shows off just how big of a departure the game could have been.

Released on YouTube by video game documentary channel Noclip, the footage shows off a much different vibe for the franchise. It shows the player being chased in the sewers by demons crawling on the wall and ceiling, as horror music swells in the background. It gives off more of a survival-horror vibe than the high-octane action of the Doom games. Some of the early prototype footage also evokes memories of Rage, another series developed by id Software.

🚨 NEW GAMEPLAY SHOWCASE🕹️

It's almost been six years so we figured it was time to release the unedited footage of DOOM 4 and development footage of DOOM (2016) we sourced from Bethesda/id. Some cool stuff in here. Enjoy DOOM fans!

Doom 4 was officially announced back in 2008. After disappearing from the news cycle for a number of years, it was officially re-revealed as Doom, which would go on to launch in 2016.

In our IGN Unfiltered interview with id Software Executive Producer Marty Stratton, we learned Doom 4 was abandoned in favor of Doom 2016 because the project was "more Doom in name than really anything."

"The thing is; it was still good. It was a good game. It was still a ways away from launching, so it had a ways to go," Stratton said at the time. "We were multiple teams at a time… a lot of people were working on Rage and then we… refocused attention around [DOOM] and it just kind of lacked some of those fundamental DOOM things."

Dell (Alienware) is running its annual Black Friday in July Sale with plenty of great deals on Alienware and Dell XPS gaming laptops and desktops, gaming monitors, as well as electronics and accessories like gaming consoles and gaming chairs. There are a couple of coupon codes available that make some of these prices even better. This promotion ends on July 31 so make sure you get your order in before then.

Dell Black Friday in July Coupon Codes

Dell G15 15" RTX 3050 Ti Gaming Laptop for $649.99

This is the lowest price we've seen so far for an RTX 3050 Ti equipped gaming laptop. At under $700 you can't really find a mobile GPU with more power than the RTX 3050 Ti; it's a little bit more powerful than the previous generation's GTX 1660 Ti, plus it offers ray tracing and DLSS support. It should handle 1080p gaming at high settings without a hitch.

Save on powerful Alienware Aurora gaming PCs during the Black Friday in July sale. These configs feature the new RTX 30 series GPUs matched with AMD Ryzen 7 or 9 CPUs.

More Dell Black Friday in July Gaming Laptop Deals

The new slimmer Alienware x15 and x17 gaming laptops as well as the bread and butter Alienware m15 gaming laptops are both on sale. We've listed out the power consumption rating (TDP) on the GPUs; the same video card can come in several different TDP ratings. Higher TDP rating correlates to better gaming performance, but that also means more heat generated so you often need a thicker chassis and beefier cooling. Ultra-thin laptops like the Alienware x15 and x17 thus benefit from a lower TDP GPU.

Dell S2721DGF 27" 1440p GSYNC Gaming Monitor

This excellent monitor has hit a new price low for Black Friday. It's one of the best 27" gaming monitors you can buy for under $500. The S2721DGF boasts a high quality IPS panel (better than the VA panel found on the popular S3220DGF model). It features wide viewing angles and excellent color rendition including 98% DCI-P3 color coverage, a super fast 1ms response time and up to 165Hz refresh rate through the DisplayPort. It's also FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC compatible.

Spoiler Warning: This post contains spoilers for both parts of Stranger Things Season 4.

Stranger Things Season 4 gave us some of the darkest moments we’ve seen in the series yet. But according to the Duffer Brothers, it could have been even darker had they gone through with killing off fan-favorite Max Mayfield, played by Sadie Sink.

In the after show, Ross Duffer explained, “It was discussed as a possibility. For a while that is what was going to happen. But we ended up in this… we wanted to end it with a little more of a question at the end of the season. It’s still really dark and if Max is going to be okay, we just don’t really know. We wanted to leave it up in the air moving forward into Season 5.”

Max’s narrative for season 4 was especially brutal. Fresh off season 3, she is dealing with the death of her brother. This causes her to be a prime target for the season’s villain, Vecna. Max’s first escape from Vecna in episode 4 paired perfectly with Kate Bush’s 1980’s hit “Running Up That Hill,” which has seen a huge surge in popularity.

Unfortunately for Max, she was less lucky the second go as her encounter left her blind and with broken limbs. Max even died for a full minute, but Eleven was able to bring her back even if, as of the end of season 4, Max is in a coma.

Matt Duffer says they wanted Stranger Things’s fourth outing to be “‘Empire Strikes Back’ season” for the series. The Duffer brothers “wanted them to actually lose [to Vecna].” Stranger Things has been no stranger to killing off its characters, but with the death of Joseph Quinn’s Eddie Munson and the brutalization of Max, the losses hit especially hard this season.

Stranger Things season 5 will likely be shorter than season 4, and we have plenty of burning questions we hope to have answered in the final season of Stranger Things.

After seven years of work from more than 80 contributors, the anticipated Battlefield 3 Reality Mod will finally launch next week, adding features like a day-night cycle and a revamped health and medic system to the base game.

Today, the massive team behind the mod shared a trailer for v0.1, which is now set to launch on July 17.

"BF3: Reality Mod is a BF3 modification that focuses on communication and teamwork," the developers said. "It draws inspiration from the successful BF2 "Project Reality" mod. It offers a complete gameplay and UI overhaul that creates a more tactical and meaningful experience."

According to the mod's roadmap, the upcoming release will introduce the following features:

• Custom spawn system (FOBs & Rally Points)
• Adjusted game pace (movement / weapon-handling speed)
• Gunplay (suppression / recoil / damage)
• Adjusted gun / explosion sounds
• Health and medic system (bleeding / bandaging / reviving)
• Custom UI (main-menu / spawn-menu / map / comm-rose / HUD)
• AAS game mode
• 5 modified and expanded vanilla maps
• Two custom factions (USMC / Russian Army)
• 9 pre-fixed kits per faction
• Modified vanilla vehicles (transport only)
• Improved visuals (day-night cycle / weather)

While this release adds plenty of impressive new mechanics and visual improvements to the game, the team was careful to note that this release is "a starting point." Future releases will polish these mechanics while adding new game modes, custom maps, and other playable units.

We gave the original Battlefield 3 a 9, calling it "one of the best multiplayer experiences of the year." We also reviewed Battlefield 2's Project Reality mod, which inspired the upcoming BF3 mod, praising its "ruthlessly demanding" realism.
