I am going to guess the textures were done before they fully knew what the system was going to have RAM wise.
There was that report that Capcom asked for more RAM, and got it (probably a 1 GB increase from 3GB to 4 GB).
I have a feeling that if this game was to be made a year or two later we would not have this problem.
Though how much can they do with 4 GB total RAM I am not sure.
