Is 6GB Ram really necessary?

[Rachel]

No, dev said the game has been improved and 4GB Ram is now enough.
Move on from this post, because all you will find here are bullies!

6GB ram seems a lot for games like this.

I barely ran Skyrim with my 6gb ram laptop and the system requirements for that game are much lower than this one. I know this game doesn't look graphics heavy but you will be surprised how artsy these 2D sidescroller games are beginning to turn it up a notch. So 4GB of ram sounds bad to me but maybe I'm wrong, by the time the game comes out you can most likely configure around the settings. Just make sure you update your graphics driver when the game comes out. The ram is a big issue with lag spikes but you don't have anything to lose, you can still try out the game and refund it if the performance doesn't flow to your liking.

Hm, I don't know dude. If the game requires your build to have 6GB of RAM, but you only have 4, I doubt that you'll be able to run the game at a steady 60 FPS unless you're also using an i7 or overclocking your current graphics card. I don't know, just saying "I have 4GB of RAM" isn't enough information.

I only have 4 GB of RAM on a laptop. Buy one additional 4GB module because of the game, I will not. Let developers better optimize the game as did the developers of the game "Candle". It also originally required a minimum of 6GB

That inspires confidence! So the Dev not only found the Memory-Leak! Also, it was SO SEVERE, the Specs improve by 33% just by fixing it! :D :D

A memory leak would not require more RAM, a memory leak would fill your RAM and than crash because it still wants more. So that's not what was fixed

Large RAM requirements are usually due to compression and texture sizes. They probably resampled some of the texture resolutions into more compact files for lower end systems.

Whoever made the textures probably wanted them to look the best they could and sampled them originally as large images. Then enough of their potential customers whined that they were trying to run the game on a toaster and they resampled it into smaller files

You'll see this in any development of a game. The images and textures are made at very high resolutions and file sizes. Then it's just a question of how much you want to butcher them and lower the quality to be able to run it on a wider range of systems

This is one of the biggest issues with Steam reviews - the people who don't understand why their low-end PC can't run some modern games and give the game a negative revie. The rating goes down and the developer misses out on sales because of someone elses ignorance.

Guys, we ALWAYS have to bee suspicious when specs improve THAT much.

When you get an update on your phone that 'gives 20% more cpu power', it means you had that power all along, but the software was bad and not using it's full potential.

So always be suspicious if something improves THAT drastically. It generally means that it was broken before.

[Machines Are Human]

It wasn't even finished before.

My guess: the game was in development, the team thought "let's give first requirements that are a savecall, we can change them later anyway".

And that's what happend. Game is ready, they now could check on what machines this game will run and give new requirements.
Nothing to be suspicious and nothing got "butchered"

Rather have a definitive answer from the dev and buy knowing it will work or not buy at all.
Seems like the dev doesn't visit this community often though. =/

He gave you a definitive answer on the recommendations page you dolt.... just because you dont like the answer to your question doesnt mean he is going to change it. Ram is cheap, and so are you.. Obviously.

You don't have to be an a**hole. Obviously didn't read the whole post either. He said it works on 4gbram now you idiot. And since you are so rich, you can buy me that ram!
It might be cheap where you live but not where I live dumbass.

I'll stop being an a**hole when broke crying kiddies like yourself stop crying about games with already "low" requirements.

Also the fact that he changed them doesn't take away from the original point of you being a DOLT.

It actually is, I explained how thats possible but you didnt get it... not suprising.

I asked a question and wanted to know the answer.

The answer was in front of your face in the "original" recommendations. He changed it to appease poor scrubs like you.

Never complained about not being able to run it.

Oh.. but you will.

I see what this is now... envy... poor you.
Instead of being hateful to others, you should try to be happy.
