Prediction: First party Scorpio games will run dynamic resolutions

Since they employed this method on their biggest exclusives, I'm going to say yes, many of the Scorpio games will probably use this method. Personally, I prefer Sony's checkerboard method as it will be a constant res, so there will be much less chance of loss of image quality.

Why can't MS use the same method?  If they use 50% checkerboard, they have just that much more power left for FX/FPS.
Or instead of 50% checkerboard, they can use 70-90% checkerboard of full-render pixels.
 (with remaining "blank" pixels algorhythmically resolved from neighbors and temporal AA)
And rather than dynamic resolution (upscaling) they can dynamically vary the population of checkerboard (e.g. 70-100%).
Which won't have conventional upscaling artifacts, and will simply be closer to full 4K than PS4Pro's 50% checkerboard.
I'm just not seeing how Scorpio having more power available is anything but an advantage here.
They could even concentrate "full render" pixels in areas of interest, e.g. center of screen for certain game types.

Checkerboard is sony patented tech, but sure MS can develop something similar.

I think there's enough headroom for native 4K gaming on Scorpio, at least for the ones that are native 1080p on the Xbone.

Nope, it won't be that simple, if it were on this 9 TFlops card 4k60fps would be a breeze.

Well, if dynamic resolution is needed to run at 60 fps at 4K on demanding games, i'm sure no one will lose sleep over that since the lowest the native assets will be will still trump any other option in the console market.

That said, in games a GTX 1080is about 15% over a GTX1070, which is closer to the optimized spec of a Scorpio. Once development starts around bespoke Scorpio, that 30 fps locked at native 4K looks like a reality based on that video.

 

A 4K native campaign and a dynamic res multiplayer at 4K is something console gamers will be happy with coming from 1080p or below. It'll look fabulous on a 4K TV.
