Off-topic, but is that considered low-end or moderate now? I recently upgraded from 16 to 32, and again felt inadequate when I saw a friend's 64GB setup.
I think 16 GB has been the "standard" for a while for any gaming-related setup. Speaking as a hobbyist and not an expert, if your computer is mostly for gaming, I don't think you'd notice much improvement upgrading from 16 to 32, but I think you'd definitely notice if you went down to 8.
It's considered low-end. I've got a clunker of a laptop that's literally falling apart, and it's got 12 gigs of ram (an 8 and a 4 in sequence). It was high-end... 10 years ago.
That said, what do they need the additional ram for? Lazy programming? If it's a remake/remaster, the AI should be the same or similar, shouldn't it? So it can't be for running the calculations and predictions. Is it all hair physics?
I've noticed modern games requiring just absurd power and filesize both, whose game complexity, even graphical complexity, do not justify it. But they're just so sloppily programmed that they need the extra to compensate.
