How Housemarque engineered Resogun for 4K (PS4 Pro)

What's more interesting to me is that people seem to be having more and more trouble discerning native from non-native reproduction techniques (this game, the division) . I mean, it's great from a performance point-of-view. But is it just because we're not very used to 'truly' native 4K results at the moment, or are the non-native techniques just getting so good that the difference would really be very small even if you side-by-side-d them?

Probably a mixture of both. Same with all the 1080p vs 900p we saw at the beginning of the generation. I think that if people really want to look into the differences they'll see them but for the layman an upscaled 4k will probably look the same as native.
I think that once Scorpio is released and MS (presumably) publish native 4k games then that'll give us a better view of scaling technology on console.

I seriously doubt Scorpio or even the next gen consoles target true native 4K when the reception for these new techniques have been so positive. Just use the horsepower for other things.

The fact that the framebuffer is full 4K, what you will be looking for is artifacts of the checkerboarding process, whereas with 900p -> 1080p, traditionally it was a simple upscale, and you can pixel count it.
In a game like ResoGun, there is so much going on, it would be impossible to see the artifacts under normal play unless you take a screen grab and start searching.
Good job!

Checkerboard upres -> post processing in 4k -> display, so it's a mix.
The higher the pixel density the harder its going to be be to see the difference. While 1800p on a 2160p screen and 900p on a 1080p screen are about the same in terms of pixel percentage of native, one is noticeably not native, where one is, to many, not noticeable. Though some do seem to struggle to see 900p on a 1080 it seems, so shouldn't be able to see 1800p on a 2160p at all.
When you then also add in CB rendering, temporal AA etc, the real crushing need for actual native "everything is totally 2160p" is fairly low.

They render half the pixels of a true 4K image and then reproject, extrapolate, work out the other half within the render process. This delivers a full 4K image but not quite a crisp and not in the traditional method. But saves them time and budget.
It is not upres, but instead a cheaper way to render a larger frame. No stretching or scaling is used here, what hits you tv is a 1to1 pixel Mao, just not all pixels are created equal.
