It's another amazing technology which advances the way I believe computing will go and it is an opening for the next generation of 3D games. However, I am a big fan of 2D games and believe that they will never be pushed to the wayside. In fact, I believe that 2D gaming is also going to have their own revolution. Remember the mantra - gameplay over glitz!

Oops, I forgot about the whole new techniques in HTML5, like animated and interactive SVG, as well as the video tags that can be heavily manipulated.

Honestly, Flash is only good for small games. If systems like O3D turn out to work well they could replace Flash when it comes to browser-based gaming.

I agree that it will dominate the web domain, but more client side I think Java will take over and perhaps we will see Java/Flash hybrid programs.

Personally, i’m waiting for GPU accelerated pixel bender and drawTriangles + z-buffer. And please _NO_ real 3d api – this will kill the platform.
