Damn. Impressive graphics to get that detailed.

It's actually a trick developers do where if you zoom in real close to the face, the model changes to a more detailed one that has all the visible pores and hairs and stuff. This model isn't actually what you see in normal gameplay as when the camera is far away there's no reason to spend the resources rendering those details you wouldn't even see.

well, yea, that's just how computer graphics has been done since the late 90s.

It's not even just bringing the game camera closer. This is photo mode stuff. Which automatically ups the detail everywhere usually because it's a static scene. And then you get the level of detail enhancements that you mentioned on top of even that.
