I don't think "people thought The Hobbit looked weird" is particularly scientific. They're used to 24fps, they're watching it on a giant cinema screen and they don't have interactivity to contend with. Ready at Dawn know full well that higher framerate = better gameplay experience.

OK, so they can't achieve that and make it look as pretty as they want, and that's totally fine. But I can't believe for a second that 30fps is some kind of 'cinematic artistic vision'. 30fps isn't a cinematic framerate, it's US soap opera frame rate. They succeeded in making the game look cinematic not because of the framerate, but because of the excellent job they did with the lighting, animations, post-processing effects etc. That's what gives it that distinct 'film look' and in a hypothetical world where the PS4 was twice as powerful I imagine that movie-like effect would have been quite happily perservered over to a smooth 60fps.
