I've been an Xbox guy since Halo came out. I'm leaning towards the PS4 for the next gen. Is that crazy or do you guys think I'm making the right move? Let me know, thanks....

Depends on the games you're interested in, I suppose. For me, since I don't care about Halo, the better hardware at a lower price gives it my support. That and my forgiveness isn't so readily granted.

I've been heavily leaning towards the PS4 myself, Lobo. We think alike

I preordered my PS4 after E3 was over

Yeahhhhh. Just preordered PS4 bundle with BF4 on Amazon. Looking forward to it very much so. I know it's not backwards compatible for disks, but do you guys think they'll have a lot of PS3 games available on a marketplace eventually? Wanting to try out MGS4, Uncharted, Last of Us, etc. at some point.

Pretty sure it's not backwards compatible, period. If they offer and PS3 games it will probably be through an OnLive type service.

PS4 will not play PS3 games unless they are streamed through Gaikai... or Sony changes their mind.

That said, the only changes to PS3 compatibility was to slowly *remove it* as it became costly or a potential piracy vector.

So this here is pretty neat. Distributed lighting between server and client via the internet. And it uses, wait for it, voxels! This is basically lighting by numbers. Who called it? I called it. Go to hell.

Unfortunately for Xbone, it's running AMD hardware.

must spread rep.
I'm using this as my sig quote from now on.

I don't think anybody said it couldn't be done, just that it probably wasn't feasible at this point. With a quick glance at the paper (I'll read it all when I have time), this technique still makes you pay for the latency (hello real-time) and a very hefty bandwidth toll that'd make online games unplayable on most connections.
