Paragon (Epic Games)

[Slaughter]

A new PC shooter quietly unveiled by Epic that is said to be released early 2016. This teaser shows the first of several "heroes" that will be revealed over the next couple of weeks. There is nothing yet that even says what type of shooter it will be.

Prepare for Victory it says on the Paragon website. On it there is a link to sign up for Beta.

still not sure what the game will be like.

[Slaughter]

That's the point. Just teasers. Two more heroes to be revealed and then maybe something about the game. Beats the shit out of people complaining about the next Dice / EA game.

Based on the descriptions, it sounds like it will be a MOBA (similar to Heroes of the Storm or Defence of the Ancients). I hope it's not another game developed primarily to show off Epic's newest game engine.

Two trailers from Epic. Qicmee is correct, the game is a third person MOBA.

[Qicmee]

It looks amazing!
The spawning minions & tower defenses were cool.
These videos probably leaned toward being "cinematic" rather than showing the actual player view (hud with map & status indicators).
I hope Epic provides VOIP because texting during a frantic game requires more speed than I've got.

[goldenfooler]

yea it has to be Voip or it just isn't as fun when you can't hear someone scream. Still miss Phantoms voice... now he is suddenly shy.

[Slaughter]

I doubt that Epic will provide VOIP. There isn't one for the next UT. Not sure why they haven't coded a voice subsystem of their own (yet?) or why they haven't licensed one to hook into their engines.

From Gamespot: Epic Talks Moving from Gears of War to MOBAs with Paragon

"It's been exciting to make something that we have intended from the beginning to be a live game that could be updated constantly, especially for most of us coming from a disc-based background. Seeing how people interact with the game and being able to change and grow it is really exciting."

"One of the things we talked about internally was taking the things you see in MOBA trailers and cinematics, including our own, and making it part of the gameplay experience. It's what we were trying to convey with our gameplay trailer, showing the verticality of it where people can leap over you and you're going to have to actually target them in 3D to shoot them out of the sky."

A couple of videos. One from the Epic Paragon team:

And one from PlayStation (released a few weeks ago)
