Is this Phil Spencer's final test for Microsoft? Is his job on the line?

Video games aren't Photorealistic even at 720P. Let alone 1080P.
Downsampling makes a massive difference regardless of your displays resolution.

So will all old games look better or is this only on new games which the developers tweak it for the Scorpio?  Sorry I'm pretty clueless when it comes to what the Pro and Scorpio actually do or trying to achieve. 

On Scorpio if a an Xbox One game uses Dynamic Resolution (Battlefield 1, Overwatch, Halo 5 etc'.) then it will be locked at 1080P on Scorpio rather than having the game spend anytime under that resolution.

If a game has a 60fps fps cap, but never hits 60fps (Lots of emulated Xbox 360 games for example), it will always hit 60fps on Scorpio.
It's much better than Sony's take with the Playstation 4 Pro by disabling hardware and thus doesn't pass on the benefits to every game that doesn't achieve it's framerate or resolution caps.

For games to get improved visuals outside of that though, the developers do need to put in the hard work, games will not be running at 4k unless the developer makes the effort. Scorpio will upscale everything to 4k however.

For games that are 4k optimized on Scorpio, they will look a real treat even on 720P and 1080P displays, the games will still render at 4k, but will be downscaled, things will look sharp, clean and crisp.
