The graphics look way too oversaturated, and it looks even worse when you compare them to the original game. Enlarge and compare the two images below:<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"cols cols-2\">\n<div class=\"col col-1 col-width-50\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Yakuza Kiwami 3 PS5 PS4 2\" class=\"scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/7437c49fe79dd\/yakuza-kiwami-3-ps5-ps4-2.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/7437c49fe79dd\/yakuza-kiwami-3-ps5-ps4-2.445x250.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"250\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Yakuza Kiwami 3 PS5 PS4 2\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col col-1 col-width-50\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Yakuza Kiwami 3 PS5 PS4 3\" class=\"scanlines scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/780accbbd13d7\/yakuza-kiwami-3-ps5-ps4-3.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/780accbbd13d7\/yakuza-kiwami-3-ps5-ps4-3.445x250.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"250\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Yakuza Kiwami 3 PS5 PS4 3\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>What if we told you the screenshot on the left is the original game and the one on the <em>right<\/em> is the remake?<\/p>\n<p>This is clearly just one example that&#8217;s gone viral across social media, but those playing the demo highlight how this is an issue whenever you&#8217;re in a shaded environment.
