Corona flares is yet another thing that does not scale to resolution in GTA, and affects all three games in the trilogy! This explains why the sun and emergency vehicle sirens felt "downgraded" on PC when compared to the PS2.

Huh would you look at that, a mod leading to more people buying the game.

Writing wise, Dan Houser just said he considers RDR2 his best work, followed by GTA IV, then the middle section of GTAV and rounded off with RDR1.

A #GTA IV remaster is on the horizon, but unfortunately it will likely be rooted in the flawed PC port.

I explored just how broken the PC port really is and show how Rockstar could learn from the work modders have done to fix it.

How Modders Are Remastering GTA IV Themselves

GTA IV is possibly getting a remaster for PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, but it will likely be based on the poor PC port. Let's take a look at how modders fixed this port and whether Rockstar can…

And luckily @tjgm.bsky.social has also done a very detailed breakdown video of the graphical options in Fusion Fix (with an older menu layout mind you as he made this before that was finalised :P)

I've been enjoying the Open Network Test for Sonic Racing CrossWorlds a lot more than I expected to be honest, though it has the UNREAL problem, whilst it performs great on my PC, man does it tank when it needs to do shader compilation! Sadly it's very noticeable.
