What the fuck did they do to a 1996 game that now requires 8gb of ram, 6gb of vram and 4gb of free space? You can literally run the original iso image on epsxe that even an ancient PC with win xp can handle. Ps1 had fucking 2mb of ram and 1mb of vram that required a fucking 80s era cd that could hold 700mb of data.
That's just the minimum they bothered to test on. They aren't dragging out museum piece computers to make sure it still runs.

>>12485570It has nothing to do with the game. That's just how much RAM Windows 11 uses by default.
I've always wondered how consoles did it with such little RAM and CPU.It's hard to imagine what operating systems are doing to incur such a huge difference in memory requirements.I understand some of it but not the full depth.
>>12485570Denuvo
>>12485570Meanwhile the same game on GOG.
>>12485570It's what happens when you outsource to India.
>>12485570an std known as enigma
>>12485608>It's hard to imagine what operating systems are doing to incur such a huge difference in memory requirements.I think people just don't bother optimising anymore because the hardware these days allows for bloat.
>>12485570shit game
>>12485846No one shits in the game anon. Wishful thinking?
>>12485570use GOG, dont cuck for crapcom
>>12485570epsxe BLOWS
>>12485608they have no operating systems constantly running in the background. windows is hungry.

>>12485570I blame Microsoft hire Hb1 visa poojam
>>12486306>he doesnt know
>>12486306>emulatroon
>>12485570>and 4gb of free spaceI don't know why it says that, it literally lists half of that on my pc being taken up by the game
>>12485608>I've always wondered how consoles did it with such little RAM and CPU.Are you forgetting how much fucking slowdown OoT had, and not just random but very specific points that would trigger it.
>>12485570I feel like people who say "it needs 8gb of ram!" are either retards or baiting. No, it doesn't need 8gb of ram, fucking Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't need 8gb of ram. But you know what DOES need that much? Windows which happens to also be open while you're running the game, and you can't just choose between playing the game and having your OS open at the same time.
>>12486493This. There's a reason nothing works anymore and that reason is India.
>>12485570most video games these days work under the idea of "hey in case you are fucking retarded, i will accept you throwing money at me"
>>12485570>steam
>>12485608It's the price you pay for an open platform. On a console when you call drawPolygon() or whatever it's a handful of floats that get written to machine specific registers by a tiny block of code that just does that and nothing else.On a PC it's a multi-level negotiation between your code, the SDK, the kernel, the driver and the gpu. And at every step there's layers and layers of security to consider to stop every buggy game being a vector for malware.People don't want to go back to the old days when 90% of your games stopped having sound because you replaced your soundblaster 16 with an Audigy or begging for patches because you have a GeForce and not a 3dfx. So you need to have generic libraries that interface with standardised driver interfaces and this bloats the shit out of your OS to the point you need a 16 core CPU and 32GB of RAM to do what a 1996 console did with 33MHz and a few meg.
>>12486561There was supposed to be a "game mode" for windows several times over by now. One that disabled loads of services and unloaded shit that didn't need loading. The one we got was so nerfed it did nothing.Back in the win9x days people would replace explorer.exe in system.ini with custom launchers so that the several megabyte file explorer+IE extensions wasn't even loaded on their 8MB machines when playing games. The old ideas are still valid today and we need to bring some of them back.
>>12486709Isn't this basically archfaggotry?
>>12486712>Isn't this basically archfaggotry?Maybe a little. The point was it should happen automatically/easily instead of after 3 days of ricing.
>>12486558OoT wasn't the only game available on N64
>capcom just casually drops RE1-3 and BoF4 on steamAlright Square, step up your game, shadow drop PE1/2 and XenogearsBamco, just randomly release Tales of the AbyssKonami....actually Konami is really good at putting old titles on steam, not sure what they'd release besides like Gradius or something. They even put out a Bomberman collection recently that had games not originally available in the US.
>>12485570How do you expect them to get their hands on time capsule hardware and test all of them. Either that or you're encouraging developers to make up min specs out of thin air and assumptions.
>>12486781I don't think it's unreasonable to ask a multimillion dollar corporation putting out a low-effort rerelease of a game which will make them tens of thousands of times what it cost them to port it to modern hardware to put in the <5 man-hours of effort of researching accurate hardware requirements.People not asking more from game developers and accepting whatever they're given is the whole reason the industry is in the state it's in right now. You SHOULD want and expect more from Capcom.
>>12486770Look at the image in the post he's replying to.
>>12486827If you had an actual job you wouldn't be so mad about irrelevant things
>>12486827Yes lets ask these people to dedicate time to sourcing 1999-2001 computer parts, put that shit together, buy a license of Windows 98/XP, get all the non existent drivers working, so we can make the time capsule hardware requirements more accurate. Without emulating hardware.
>>12486828>caughtgo back
>>12485570>windows 11 required to play a 30 year old video gamedo payfags really???
>>12485578>>12485604holy shit it's cursed
>>12485570X64 binary patch might have caused memory leaks they don't care to fix.
>>12485570Bro, you think that's bad? Konami's recent Super Bomberman Collection needs 16.SIXTEEN GIGS OF FUCKING RAM FOR PORTS OF SNES GAMES
>>12487165No it doesn't. That's just the lowest spec system the devs bothered to test it on. Check your RAM usage, lil bro.
>>12485570because god is a kikethe grand unified equationgod = kikegood thing theres no omnipotence
>>12488286Don't bother anon, this board is full of retarded techlets.
>>12485570Ass steam pajeetware
>>12485570Sometimes the system requirements are BS. The are some games that officially 'require' Win 10/11 but work just fine on Win 7/8.Here are the GOG system requirements. I bet it works fine on older/weaker PCs.
>>12488612pajeetware, im going to use that one
>>12485608Optimization. Games like RE2 on N64 were packed tight and efficiently, but over the years they've basically become like throwing shit in a suitcase without even folding it. There's going to be some overhead whenever there's a self contained emulation environment or anything of the sort, but development has gotten extremely lazy over time as they dont have those limitations and just blame consumers to continuously upgrade instead.
>>12488843PCück are not retro.
>>12485570Oh give up your bitching and get the gog version, you god damn fucking idiot!You should be checking gog first anyway.There is no need for you to be this gay!
>>12485570first time using a pc op? system requirements are a meme and have been for I don't even know how long now
>>124855701. Modern OSs, in particular Windows, are resource hungry.2. Is a port, it needs to run on more complex PC configurations than just a PSone3. Optimization is not a priority in modern software development, security (with all the bloatware) and get it done is.The better question is why Capcom added the enigma shit and why it took them along with GoG to actually get it done, at this point is just better to play the BioRand version, at least that shit is already patched to actually run on even more configurations with better resolutions and framerates
>>12489023These games were already on PC no? Why would they need to port it again?
>>12485570>Windows 11I'm good. I'll stick the ones I've downloaded with the Rebirth patch, very compatible to Windows 10!
