reminded me this:

mind that the game pictures were taken with the photomode (pauses the game and
allows free camera angles) and has (realtime) DOF applied and character
invisible

I hate how DOF is applied in games. Something about it makes it look
totally unrealistic. Don't know if that's due to some subtle artifact of
the fakery behind it, or just that it is totally exaggerated.

I haven't seen an example of this. (Most games just don't have a DoF 
effect at all.) But presumably those that do, are simply faking it by 
applying a Gaussian blur to objects a certain distance away. Which isn't 
how real DoF works...

Somewhat tangentially related, but still very interesting:

I applying DOF myself in this shot, pausing the action and freely controlling
the camera:

it's the usual zbuffer DOF from scanline, doesn't even employ bokeh but it's
enough for gameplay, like when aiming the gun.  I passed by this character and
saw the beautiful lighting all over her and had to take a pic...

I thought her chest and ear looked great. But those arms...
And are eyes ever that reflective?
