MY HONORABLE COLLEAGUE Wily Ferret posted some hefty and honest remarks on the state of OpenGL yesterday. Regardless of thenumber of hate e-mails monsieur Wily received, the truth is that OpenGL got stuck in too much politics, and DirectX just switched to a higher gear.
Today, blizzard announces the headway of StarCraft II in Seoul, South Korea. StarCraft 2 is being developed in 3D. In StarCraft II's official website, we can see two trailers except a lot of floweriness images. One is cinematic trailer, another is artwork trailer. They can be downloaded by the blizzard's tool. There are still three races, that is Protoss, Terran, and Zerg. But more unit and skill was put in the new game. In announcement, Protoss section is online, other races is still unavailability. In conclusion, I think that the new generation is a improvement, but it is't a revolution.
