James and Chris are at loggerheads over their Paragon hands-ons. James found it to be a bit too conventionally MOBA-y, despite its obvious roots in the third-person shooter. Chris, on the other hand, declared it marvellously MOBA-y, playing with genre conventions enough to distinguish it while retaining the genre's je ne sais quoi. To each their own, I suppose, but they were in firm agreement on one fact: Paragon looks awesome (in the biblical rather than the late-'90s sense).
From footage alone, Paragon looks a lot like what I wanted Evolve to be—the verticality is especially promising—but then from footage alone Evolve looked a lot like I wanted Evolve to be.
