Playable on Laptop?

I have a laptop with 4gb ram. Can i play this anyway? And why does a game like this need 6gb of ram?

Probably not, unless you are willing to go with 720p or something.

why does the game need 6gb? ... well because the devs made it like that...

well techially no, windows it self will use roughly 50% of total memory regardless how much u have (its how windows memory managment works) 6 GIG system leave roughly 3/3.5 gig free for other use.. the game will use between 2-3 gig of memory when running...

as a example my main pc right now Im on ideling, is useing 10/32 gig with zero page file in use, and I don't have my system load down with "extra programes running in the background or system try

game loaded up right now added another 2 gig on top of that... and thats just at the current loction that sitting at... The game memory will adjust on the fly depending were u are... but once again the game will use roughly 2-3 gig of system it self, you still need to account for windows 10 and anything else you might be running in the background, anbd Windows 10 will use as much memory as it see fits based on memory configure and Pagefile confiuration

I personally wouldn't run any of "today" games on a system with less then 16GIG (8 if u really must) but really 16GIG should be todays minimal standards when it comes to PC system memory installed.

that sounds promising. I use Windows 7 on my Laptop. Maybe it will work. But maybe it crashes at some point.

OH one last thing to point out, The game is x64, Meaning it requires Windows x64, in turn Requires a minimal of 2GIG just to run windows by by it self... so 6 gig minimal is just bearly getting by for todays x64 OS useage,,, once agian I strongly recomend a minimal 16gig memory for gaming pcs, 8 gig for office only use...

so thats 12/32 gig of system memory in use on my pc when playing this title,,, thats with ZERO pageswaping.. the moment u have to page swap memory your going to take a massive preformence hit...
