Purely and simply, it’s bad code!
This generally happens when you don’t write code for a specific object or piece of hardware, and use a ‘generic’ instead.
The general result of that kind of coding is 100% processor use and memory leaks, resulting in either or both of them (memory and/or processor) at max use causing overheating, hence the fan belting away at 100% as well to keep the computer cool and prevent it from burning itself out.
I’m surprised they get their app on the PS store actually.
I’m also surprised they haven’t burnt out some PS4’s too. Maybe they have and we just don’t know because no one has realised and presumed it was just a fault with their machine.
Finally, the most likely cause here, apart from 100% numptiness at Konami, is when you ‘port’ a code base from one dedicated machine or development framework to another and don’t bother to ‘optimise’ your code for the new environment/hardware/software objects.
I make these statements as a commercial programmer of 40 years standing. What I would give for just one wee look at some of their code down Konami way!
Thanks for the insight
So what is the chance they'll rewrite/optimize code on a new engine and hardware (PS5)?
