Superchunk its defo native cos in emus like PCSX2 and Dolphin you have the option of rendering the game at native res and upscaling to 1080P and the image looks alot more blury then if you set the emu to native 1080P.

I'm probably misreading what you wrote, but the bolded says you have two options to me.

 

1. play game at native
2. play game upscaled to 1080p

That to me is an OR scenario, not AND.

 

I think it is upscaled to 1080p in which I mean the same way you can take an old pc game like say the original far cry and amp the resolution up to whatever level you like on a newer pc, the game looks cleaner but the textures are still blurry because it is just an up res, and the polygons look more pronounced and blocky because the lower resolution is not there to hide the low poly count.

To do native 1080p i think you would need to redo the texture assets if it was not made for that resolution.

If that is not the case then all this talk of native 1080p games was just pure bull then.

Just so we're clear. Upscaling is done after output. So if the game outputs at 480, it is upscaled if each pixel is stretched to give a 1080 display. Each pixel is essentially streched by a factor of 2.25.

Any one who knows how 3D graphics works, knows that geometry is computed by the engine, thus its not scaled in away regardless of the resolution that it is rendered. Only textures and other 2d images would be scalled and those can be left unchanged, so the effect is 480p textures on 3d models output to 1080.

So it is definetively native.

Native just means that its display resolution = output resolution. When Scaled display resolution != output resolution, i.e. upscalling display resolution > output resolution, thus stretching. Downscalling display resolution < ouput resolution, thus compression.
