They're all multiplayer shooters, they're all competitive and team-based, they all take place in an arena, and they all feature different heroes with specific skills and powers that complement one another. One is developed by Epic, the other by ex-Epic guys. Yup, clearly no similarities there.
PS: You might wanna get your brain checked.
Paragon is pretty much sci-fi Smite. MOBAs usually take place on a single map (the "sports field"). Q3/UT-style twitch-based, arena FPS have variety of maps.
PS: You might wanna stop breathing through your mouth.

Depends on the game; some do indeed dry up. There is a disappointing lack of players for UT2K4, and almost no servers that weren't running Onslaught. I recently just checked to see if the server browser still worked, and found more active players on both original UT, and Quake 3.
Awww that's a shame. I haven't played it in forever but UT2K4 has been a solid addition to the franchise.
Tho for me, the best team/base building/vehicle game is still Tribes 2. So many nights I lost to that bugger...

Then again, there's likely the case of many TF2 players not having new computers to run a game like Overwatch.
I don't know about Overwatch specifically, but the main reason Wow had such a stylized look at the time was to hide its outdated graphics that allowed it to run on the shittiest of computers. What little I've seen of Overwatch seems to indicate they've applied the same formula: a cartoony art-style hiding relatively low-poly graphics. Not saying it's a bad thing, it's a great idea actually, Blizzard does cartoony really well. But coming from them, I'd find it surprising if the game required a beast of a computer to run.

I wouldn't be surprised it if stomps on TF2. Then again, there's likely the case of many TF2 players not having new computers to run a game like Overwatch.
When I signed up for the beta they said that my card at the time (GTX 660) was recommended for medium settings.

Some will be hesitant on the initial fee to even play the game. I like that business model better than any other tho [assuming they don't cross the line between common decency by charging money for additional gameplay (heroes, abilities etc.)].

Dark Souls III, RE0, Hitman, Uncharted 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, XCOM 2 (if they eventually will release it for consoles), The Last Guardian, I also hope the new Valkyria Chronicles will be released in 2016.

Well that was unexpected! Of what very little we've seen/know about Recore right now, it does spark my interest. I might just have to keep a closer eye on this one now.

Polygon now also has a list of their (
http://www.polygon.com/a/2016-game-preview-100-games/introduction-and-video-special) 100 most anticipated games of 2016.
A couple cool PS4 titles I'd not heard of previously on there. An open world prehistoric/post-apocalyptic(in the same sense that Enslaved was) third person stealth-action game called
Horizon Zero Dawn. And
Ni-Oh, a game from Team Ninja, based on an unfinished Akira Kurosawa script.

Horizon: Zero Dawn was one of the few noteworthy things that happened at E3: [video=youtube;Fkg5UVTsKCE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fkg5UVTsKCE[/video]
I still can't get over how stupid that title is, though.

That does look cool.
Why the PS4 exclusive? :(
