I'm just glad that the restructuring of the ARB is yielding some real results. Now that they are getting caught up, this may soon bring a more interesting question. What will happen if OpenGL begins to lead with features that D3D doesn't have?

Just have to see, I guess.

Well, they didn't release OpenGL 3.2 yet

However, something really appealing with Macs is that they really control the hardware which should dramatically reduce driver bugs and the different code paths in the applications

I think if Apple is smart they will put more resources into making the Mac a good gaming platform. This is their best opportunity in a long while to pull people over from the Windows platform.

Blizzard will follow? All Blizz games since D2 shipped simultaneously on PC and Mac. It's the same CD/DVD.

Hopefully Blizzard and Valve can encourage Apple to fully embrace desktop/laptop gaming. Little things like a two button mouse, and bigger OGL team would help.

Wow. They are actually going to write GL code for HL2, TF2. I still do gaming on HL2 deathmatch. It is pretty good graphically. Maybe one day, Linux (whatever distro) will become popular enough but that day hasn't come yet.
Thanks for the news.

@deadc0de

I don't think this was anyone's intention; I tried to give a couple of specific examples for Alien in my post.

I agree in that the important part is understanding the 3D fundamentals, which can then be applied to any API.

Good news, but please let's not open an DirectX vs OpenGL discussion, as the hardware abstraction API matters much anyway... You use what you need, what's better supported on the platform you are working on and it's not much of a problem to switch from one to the other anyway.

The 4.0 spec seemed to have popped outa nowhere without warning for me
