Even on Bioshock on the XBox360, if you suddenly turn around and look
closely at something (machine, person, etc) you can see at least two or
three levels of detail being drawn in - Smooth stuff, then clothes, then
dirt/blood/etc, kind of thing.
I don't know if it's because it's bringing it in off disk tho.

Maybe there's a trade-off between frame rate and frame quality. I've never
played Bioshock, but certainly GTA:SA wasn't dropping frames while this was
going on. By contrast, I've been playing Fallout3 recently (and loving it, I
might add), and while I've not seen any detail changes, occasionally the frame
rate drops when there's oodles of stuff going on.
I'd rather see the detail switch than the frame rate lower, personally, but
still...

Btw, at the beginning of the game there's a quite detailed face editor
for your character, which is fun to play with. However, I'm wondering what's
the point. As far as I can tell, you can't see your own face in the game in
any situation, not even when changing the camera to 3rd-person perspective
(because the playable character always looks in the same direction as the
camera, and thus you only see the back of his/her head, never the face).
At least in Oblivion you could see your face in the inventory screen,
but this is not the case in Fallout3.

There's the paused combat mode - during the slo-mo sections you often see your
character's face. Enough that I've since gotten him a haircut, even!
If you sit in chairs you get a glimpse too (although this doesn't seem to serve
any purpose).

It does ever so occasionally get slow when you're in a complicated space
with lots going on, with the frame rate dropping to maybe 3 or 4 frames a
second if you're flying head over heels thru a bunch of enemies. But that's
maybe once or twice in a full play thru of the whole game, if that.

Wasn't it going to be about people figuring out that they're Sims?
Personally, I'm much more interested in this movie:

OK, that *is* Roosterteeth's "Strangerhood" movie.
