with the same Hi-Rez account after linking it

to my PlayStation account on their website

but I had to start from scratch. This was both

exciting and daunting, on the one hand a

fresh start meant playing new champions and

enjoying the thrill of unlocking your first chest

all over again. On the other hand, the gap

between my PC progress and my humble level

10 account on console seems impossible to

fill.

It is in closed alpha so mentioning framerate

at this point would be unfair. However,

compared to my small PC monitor and

my much bigger HD TV, Paladins looks

jaw dropping in a way I have never been

able to appreciate before. There are so many

details in these characters and maps that

many players brush past in the fast paced

action. On console I had time to stop and

smell the roses…you know, the ones in Stone

Keep.

Simply because dividing time to progress

in both the PC and the console versions

seems like such a tedious task players will be

drawn to one or the other save the handful

of hardcore dedicated players. However, it

would be great to see how brand new players

develop a Meta separate from PC. Who

knows, maybe all Skye needs to be top tier

competitive is a gamepad.

The real question will be where the majority

of the playerbase will lie? Also, will see an

eSports scene develop on Console even

though it is just getting started on PC? Only

time will tell.
