Hm, Killzone and inFamous had options to lock it to 30FPS.

Are you sure they had no judder with unlocked framerates? Some people are more sensitive to judder than others, I prefer unlocked 45FPS to 30 locked, but others prefer 30 locked.

InFamous had visible judder before the day one patch, but it solved it. Killzone never had any problem for me. I normally notice judder easily, my aging PC GPU (GTX 650) has some troubles with modern games and sometimes I end up with games that flutuate from 30 to 40-50 fps and it judders a lot (V-sync isn't an option since it normally has a big hit in performance and that's something I can't afford). Thief on PS4 and PC was a stutter festival, as an example. But in some months I will get my 970 and everything will be nice and smooth again.

About locked vs unlocked, I prefer an unlocked fps if, and only if, it comes with a v-sync solution that avoids stuttering. I can even live with small tearing, but stuttering is a deal breaker for me. So the order would be: unlocked with good v-sync > 30 locked >>> unlocked with tearing  >>>>>>>>>>> unlocked with stuttering.
