The day 1 patch makes this a Locked 30 fps game without frame drops except when using ultra hand. It’s the first AAA release in months to run this smooth.
It definitely still dips regularly in heavy areas. It doesn't impact the experience the way it did before, imo, but saying that it doesn't would be disingenuous.
You're right about it being the only acceptable AAA release this year though.
The game itself is hard coded to run at 30 fps. There is a 60 fps patch for emulated versions, but using it makes the FMV movies run at double speed due to the game's hard coded 30 fps.
