Hopefully the PC port is good.
Capping this at 30 would go a long way
UE4's temporal AA can be pretty soft depending on what settings you use for it. Much better coverage than anything like FXAA though.
Weird. It's not a good look IMO.
I don't know about that. The game was announced for PS4 in 2013, Unreal Engine 4 was released in 2014. It was originally supposed to release on XBLA in 2012. For all we know, the game was on an entirely different engine back then and they scratched their work and started over. The game was originally supposed to be open world and have survival aspects, and those were cut out too. This all points to a major rework.

I remember in the trailer thread that a reviewer mentioned he had massive slow downs with a core i7 3770k and a GTX 1070 to hit 1080p 60 FPS. It seems it's going to be a shitty port.
If that avg framerate holds up I'll take mid-50s vs locked 30 any day of the week. If the framerate dropped more frequently than what these stats show though it could be distracting.
NMS on Pro is unlocked and although there's rare jittering it is much more preferable than 30fps. The unlocked framerate is always bad myth is over exaggerated.

As to your first point, a stable mid-50s can be enjoyable for sure, I won't argue that
As for your second point, it all depends on the frequency and severity of the fluctuations.
Dark Souls 3 uncapped Pro update is an absolute fucking disaster, for example.
The problem isn't over-exaggerated at all as the majority of uncapped sub-60 games have wildly inconsistent frame rates and it's extremely debilitating to the gameplay enjoyment
Yep. Especially in something like DS3 where you want precise reactions but sometimes you get 33ms to react, and sometimes you get 16ms to react, and it's all over the place.
I mostly agree, there's definitely scenarios/genres where it's preferable but more times than not it's very jarring. Like NMS, Rime isn't exactly dependent on instant/twitch controls so I am hopeful that an unlocked framerate would benefit here.
Ohhhh I had absolutely no idea about that. That makes a lot more sense then.

He's right, so perhaps don't be so rude, pal?
VG Tech always provides this info. If you look at the stat block in the OP, you'll see that there were zero torn frames on PS4. I have to imagine PC will be the same.
From checking the VG Tech video and screens, I can confirm most of this.TequilaWorks said:
- The shadows are higher resolution on Pro, and drawn to a greater distance.
- AA does seem better on Pro, but in general the AA solution is lax. More details below.
- LOD seems a little bit extended for foliage, but not by a huge extent.
- There's very little detailed texturing, so I can't really check AF.
- Glow and specular highlights do seem slightly improved. The video is too compressed to compare the subtleties of reflection quality.
Interestingly, the TAA seems not to use accumulation when still. So in motion, edges are smoothed out okay (though some speckling does still happen). But when the camera doesn't move, there's jaggies everywhere. You can see this comparing the two shots in the OP. Big vistas are thus a little less impressive when static, but there's not much shimmer to mess up slow pans and so on.

Should have capped it at steady 30. Decided to wait for a patch because the hiccups and fps are bothering me. Especially when panning the game stutters all around.
PS4 and Pro should be able to handle this. There are many other games with far more complex gfx that can push 30.

PC version is a mess. Don't buy any version of this crap until they patch it.
Initially I was wondering why they couldn't do 4K/30 on the Pro with such basic graphics but after reading impressions from people that have 1080s and Titans, it's all so clear now.

It's still off putting regardless of the genre. If your game is fluctuating between 30-55 fps, just give an option to lock it to 30 fps for those that want it. A lot of us don't want frame rates, frame times and whatnot distracting from the experience.

Probably true for some developers (not all have them though) also that is not great news for Scorpio either, I expect to see some shoddy Scorpio ports from some of these devs if that is the case.
