Yeah, I think Horizon 2 (year 1) will look comparable, if not better.

i also think you aren't going to see native 4k but checkerboarding techniques. The ones Sony devs use are so good already that they would have surely bettered the process for their PS5 titles

Why not. There have been native 4k games on big titles on xbox one x. Next gen consoles are more powerful so native 4k should be easily done :). We don't need 1080p games next gen. 

What looks betters, Halo 5 running at 4k on Xbox One X or the Unreal Engine 5 demo running at 1440p on PS5? ;)

There you have your answer. Xbox One X runs an Xbox One games at 4k, but it wouldn't be able to produce the PS5 tech demo. Ultimately developers have to choose where they put the consoles power. Without direct comparison, most people wouldn't be able to tell with the naked eye whether they're looking at a (Good) upscaled 4k (from 1440p) or a native 4k. Especially if we're talking about TVs and not computer moniters.

We will for sure see plenty of native 4k PS5/Xbox One games, but they won't be the most graphically impressive. Once the gen hits its stride I think we will see 1440(PS5) 1800p (XSX) as common targets. As upscalling gets better I'm sure more devs will more boldly go to 1080p to achieve stunning next gen visuals at 60fps.
