That must mean that they average well above 30fps already. So 60fps is probably still a target.
It's happening once during a realtime cutscene with not much happening on screen.
Cutscenes obviously use higher quality lighting and shadowing, post processing like DOF, and possibly even more complex shaders as well, so it's reasonable to assume that they're more computationally intensive. The amount of stuff happening is not a good metric here.
Probably not, although we have to be fairly careful when interpreting that info. A game that always reads above 30 on a typical framerate counter is not necessarily running smoothly enough to never drop were the framerate capped at 30. For example, if a framerate counter uses 1-second counting intervals, a single 67ms frame in a 60fps game will only cause a drop to "57fps" according to the counter; the same exact 67ms frame in a 30fps game would still cause a drop to "29fps." So if you took the 60fps game and capped it to update the front buffer at most once every two video refreshes (i.e. capped to 30fps), you'd still wind up with stutters even though the 60fps game "never drops below 57fps."
Also, who knows what's going on during a cutscene.
I don't think we have all that good of a basis for guessing where exactly the performance is right now.
And maybe something is loading in the background for the next part of the game?
Our beloved Laa-Yosh is giving some insight about that presentation in the Accurate human rendering thread 
Wow. Wow meaning; look at the game physics in action.

The level of detail as well is insane...

The chest hair reacting with the same wind that moves the shirt, trees etc is hilarious.

And despite all of this sexy attention to detail, the female cast will probably still have solid metal chests, because nature is a really offensive thing to some people. And no, I'm not asking for Dead or Alive here, but the politically correct upper torsos made from bricks look almost as stupid

I actually agree, as long as it's kept realistic. There's a general issue with bodies looking too hard.
But do big Hollywood movies show 'bouncing boobs' the way we see in some games? I could be wrong - it's not something I look at - but even movies with revealing cleavage won't have their chests bouncing all over the place and in fact will tend to look like statues.
If I think about it, when there is ever a scene in a movie with a girl running or jumping and her breasts reacting accordingly, it's because the director wanted that bouncing to be seen, for obvious reasons, and the whole scene becomes the "bouncing boobs scene" and not whatever it's meant to happen in it - say the intro to Baywatch or whenever they run/walk somewhere. No one cares where they're going or what they're doing, the purpose of those scenes was to see a lot of bouncing. Which is why we don't see that in big, more 'serious' films, cause no one wants to divert the attention from whatever plot or drama to the bouncing.
Am I completely wrong?

Like I said. I'm not asking for ridiculously bouncy here. Just asking for realism. As for the question: Of course they move. Depending on the clothes, they move an awful lot. You don't notice it because you aren't paying attention, but then you probably aren't paying attention to animated chest hair, bulging knuckles and popping veins either.
You have a point
But did the director in Uncharted really need animated chest hair?

I have been watching the GS video quite a few times and the tiny details are spellbinding. everything on Drake moves and reacts. Foliage reacts to individual bullets , that was too awesome to see ! The textures on the rocks in firefight section are mesmerising, the hands of Drake when looking at the Diary are spectacular.
UC4 is on a very right track from the get go !
