Detroit Become Human PC - Native 4K vs Checkerboard Rendering on PS4 Pro, why native 4k is useless

Yup , but none of them brought it up until PS4 pro came in. 

It's like how we forgot, that Technology are invented by smart people but mainstream help market adoption . That's the rule of thumb of every technological advancement.

I am not saying It's have not yet been implemented, ( also Checkerboard on PS4 pro is unique on it's way ) and Yes AMD has one with image sharpening, Nvidia with Dlss , and Microsoft with ML , but then again this never talked about until PS4 pro came in all of the GPU were not supported until the new one and no games on PC supported except  " a very few of them " , and how with cheaper solution will help RT on GPU, More Geometry complex , or better performance. 

Doom from 1993 arguably was the precursor to checkerboard rendering as checkerboard builds upon those same concepts from 27 years ago.

Checkerboard rendering is done in hardware on the Playstation 4 Pro.
The Playstation 4, Xbox, Switch and PC don't... They have to take a software approach, which is still effective, but does cost a little extra overhead... Some games on the Playstation 4 Pro likely aren't leveraging the dedicated hardware for the task as it might not be worth the development time for a developer to implement that tech for just one console. (And not even the best selling one in that console lineup either!)

DLSS became a  "need" due to Ray Tracing, before the PC could just brute force it's way, but hardware Ray Tracing puts a whole new pressure on hardware... And I would argue DLSS is still not needed on PC if you aren't using Ray Tracing.

Once the PC advances over the next few years especially once nVidia and AMD get a handle on Ray Tracing, the need for DLSS and image reconstruction will obviously lessen, the PC constantly improves and advances, consoles don't.

Even the PS2 had a few games (I.E. Grand Turismo 4) which operated at "1080i" which used various forms of upscaling to achieve that resolution output, up-scaling lower resolution games is an old approach, mostly out of need.
