The primary grounds for complaint seems to be "this isn't the way we do things in the database world"

I think they basically chosen a wrong comparison product ... This product is more likely the "database" of Google. http://labs.google.com/papers/bigtable.html

A next-gen game mainly not 3D

On: Do Next-Gen Games Have to be 3D?

Railfan.

This is a train-driving simulation game featuring HD recorded front view and overhead view, realtime switchable. (so it almost sucked an entire BD disc just for that ...)

And from an blog post from the producer, roughly translates:

... Rumor says because next-gen game consoles have high spec, they tend to require high production cost, if you don't have the budget you can't produce games for them. But seems it's not an accurate description. Of course there are masterpieces on them, and there are also titles that cost billions to develop. But PlayStation 3 is not a tall hurdle that small-scale third parties like us can't participate. We want to prove that it's an environment that can compete with major companies, and definitely want to take the challenge to head for next-gen consoles.
