Because high resolution graphics and high quality audio make for huge files. They’re more pixel dense. Old games didn’t need a lot of ram because they were running low density low resolution graphics and 16-bit sound that didn’t take up the space. For the game o be played all of those resources need to be loaded into ram and there’s a lot of them and they’re huge.
