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.

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.
