How does DX9 Affect Game Development?

[Jason]

Gamers Depot managed to get a bunch of developers together and pin them down long enough to ask them some questions about DX9.

To help settle the score, we took it upon ourselves to ask a few cutting-edge developers about their thoughts considering Pixel Shader 3.0, 32bit precision and if either one are truly relevant for consumers to pay attention to. Keep in mind, that the ones who are more positive of it happen to be part of NVIDIA’s “The Way it’s Meant to be Played” Program, while a couple that are less supportive are with ATI’s “Get in the Game” Program.


Wonder if any of them know the true delivery date of Doom 3 or HL2?
