DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! PLEASE READ
I repeat, do not buy this game. it's basically a re-rebrand of paragon. And yes, you heard that right. It has been rebranded/renamed but still the same game 3 times now! They release it with a bunch of packs, close it down after a few months then repeat. Please do not fall victim to this scam.
Also, if you're wondering what it was called previously. It was called PARAGON. And then after the "rename" it was then called FAULT. Name and shame!! they shouldn't be allowed to get away with this.

They use the same assets but have never been the same game.

I would explain how you are wrong but its been explained so many times on the forum now.

The TL:DR:
-Paragon shut down and released all their assets to use in unreal engine
-Multiple people has used it for many projects, such as bullets per minute using the characters as bosses, and subverse using murdock as a generic soldier.
-Some studios are trying to recreate their image of paragon by using the same assets, Fault which failed, Overprime which is a way more of a brawler, and Predecessor which is closer to the alpha version and pacing of paragon.

To simplify it even further.

Do you know steam has animated profile pictures in the point store? Your claim is like saying that every single person using the same animated avatar is a single person, and should be responsible for everyone else using it, despite not at all being connected.

Agree on the other 2 though some still debate Overprime.

Predecessor is no way like OG Paragon, a number of people claim it is more like LoL in 3rd person and some want it to be like Fault but worse.

Personally I just consider it yet another mess.

and you can have your own opinion as much as you want but in terms of what it puts focus on and pacing and abilities it is pretty much like the alpha when we played that. But not like monolith later.

It all depends on what period you played paragon, as i said i played in the alpha and still have videos from it.

if you consider pred a mess then its clear you dont care for mobas in general, as its a pretty damn solid entry.

What is clear is there are some things about MOBAs you do not understand to make yet another false internet assumption about other people.

Some players give the impression it is more like League.

On the Predecessor Discord, you will find a number of Pred fans comparing it to League way more than DotA2. They come across as thinking if Pred is League with 3rd person view it will succeed (nope), don't bother trying to have a conversation they are quite stuck on pushing the 'Pred as League in 3rd person' design.

Some also want to bring qualities that killed Fault into Pred along with keeping qualities that killed Epic's Paragon.

Free on Epic. As it should be. This is just paying for early access. Sometime its fine but in this case I can't help but be skeptical. Not going to tell anyone how to spend their money though. Do what makes you happy.

Game is not a scam.

I would only agree to saying dont buy the game, it'll be free later and you should only buy if you plan to support to developers and are ok with features not yet added or currently being work on... you can currently get for free on epic store anyways so go get that?

Well, to rebrand Paragon and bring it back to life was actually the goal of Predecessor. The original game studio that created the original Paragon also funded this game here with 1 million dollars additionally to making most of the original game assets available. It runs on the same engine and they also get feedback from old developers.
Oh and Fault has nothing to do with this project here as well as the other Pragon rebrands like Overprime. They are all their own thing.

So everybody - please buy this game so we can have the old Paragon experience back.

game is crap, the devs are teh most useless guys

For what you pay for Early Access, you will get your money's worth if you enjoy this type of game.

I was about to say, isnt this game literally paragon overprime? Why would I pay for this if overprime is free?

Overprime is more focused on pushing and fighting. It's more fast paced and shorter games than Predecessor. Predecessor has a longer laning phase and also includes more characters for the box price than the free rotation you get in overprime.
