I love these comparison shots that show the supposed big graphical leap between the original and this. As if it means anything.
Doesn't matter if the difference is big or small. The original is a 10 years old game. The new version still looks like a 2010 game at best. Should be able to run on a modest PC with ease.
wtf am i reading... yeah, a plain looking game runs fine on the fastest card you can buy. You also have to turn textures DOWN to fit into 4GB. I'm grateful.
What's with PC GAF lately?
The original game is 10 years old, this is a fact.

Unless you're a developer, I don't see how you're in a position to determine how the new game should run. How do you know how much memory the textures should take up? It does run on a modest pc with ease, check the minimum requirements:
Minimum Requirements
OS: 64 bit Windows 10 – version 1511
Processor: Intel Core i5 @ 2.7Ghz or AMD FX 6-core
Memory: 8 GB RAM (2 GB VRAM)
Graphics: Geforce GTX 650 Ti or Radeon R7 260x
Hard Drive: 60 GB available space
DirectX 12
Higher settings and resolutions will require more power.
