"Reven"? Never heard of them. I hear "Raven" does some good work though.

yah.. at quakecon John Carmack talked about how he forsees most game developers making their games on the 360 because microsoft made it so easy to develop on.. he said that its the cleanest environment he's ever used. And seeing how raven is partners with iD it's only logical they would use the 360 to develop with.

Bad news for OpenGL (I know PS3 uses a form of it, but still)?

I still think the uptake of OGL will benefit the development of the PS3 greatly. One of my lecturers went off on a tangent the other day about the PS2 - it appeared that at an architectural level the PS2 was such a unique and different creation that most programmers never really knew how to take full advantage of the hardware. With the adoption of an industry standard cross platform API such as OGL, programmers should hopefully be able to fully utilise the hardware in the PS3
