But 1 single frame out of 60? I find it very hard to believe that's naked-eye perceptible. Hell, Eurogamer themselves made no mention of it until after they ran it through a framerate counter. Their review never complains about it.

And it was pretty much known to be 720p for a while now, from screens and video. Eurogamer themselves were the ones who created confusion by incorrectly saying it was 1080p, and most of us weren't misled.

Seeing it as "just 1 frame" is easy. But how about "a small hickup every second"?

Of course I haven't seen it yet and being aware of it probably makes it worse but still. It's very easy to downplay it and attack people for noticing it.

When that hiccup is only 1/60th of a second long, I doubt anyone would notice it if they hadn't been told it was there. No reviewers ever mentioned it.
