I see HTML5 as a growing as a competitor to the native platform. When NaCl (NativeClient) is supported by the popular browsers you can shift all the computationally intensive calculations to the native code and have the rendering done in the browser window. Well, but I guess we'll have to wait for hardware acceleration too to be common thing in these browsers. With FF4 disabling something awesome like websockets by default, IMHO we are going backwards.
P.S: Again the future of IE comes into play. Will they support NativeClient or stick to ActiveX stuff.
- benologist 16y agoIt's going to come down to the revenue streams and whether or not models emerge that make a single HTML5 version as (potentially) rewarding as multiple native versions.
- kayoone 16y agowith NaCl you can just use stuff like Unity3D and runs amazing browsergames without a plugin install. Since it also supports iOS/Android and gaming consoles, there not much speaking for HTML5, apart from that its free.
