There's a classic movie set-piece that you've no doubt seen many times before, in Lord of the Rings, in Game of Thrones, in countless films dating back decades, in martial arts flicks such as Enter the Dragon, and in modern blockbusters such as The Dark Knight Rises. That scene is a sprawling battle involving hundreds of fighters, and in a pocket of space within the masses, two prized combatants will lock eyes for the first time.
It's when Batman finds Bane amid the sea of extras, and when a White Walker confronts Jon Snow at Hardhome. It's when Bruce Lee meets Mr. Han, and when the Nazgul towers over Theoden in front of Eowyn, who is about to have her moment of triumph.
You've seen it many times before, but until now, never in a video game. .
That's probably unfair; it doesn't happen too often, although when it does you'll notice.
In the demo shown to GameSpot, two teams of four competed in a standard-yet-well-arranged castle courtyard, with three small zones to capture. Two of those are captured as soon as players walk into them, and of course are disputed if two players from opposite teams are occupying it.
The third zone, in the centre of the courtyard, is teresting; Endless waves of AI drones representing both teams flood into the battlezone and collide against each other. Left to their own devices, no AI team will have the edge, which is why players need to jump in and cut the numbers down.
This part of the game will be deeply satisfying, especially for those who like Dynasty Warriors or Streets of Rage Players will balletically cut through waves of AI grunts and feel like a super-charged Jon Snow in the process. It's here, in this wonderful moment where everything becomes so easy if only for a brief second, that you'll like eyes with someone amid the crowd.

The new game from the developer of the Killzone franchise looks like quite a different game from those shooters. You take control of a woman from a tribe fighting with rudimentary weapons, but you fight against hulking, mechanical beasts.
Sandwiched among the likes of The Last Guardian and the Shenmue III Kickstarter, Firewatch was one of many independently developed games spotlighted at Sony's E3 2015 press conference. It's a mystery starring Henry, a seemingly isolated fire lookout in a Wyoming forest in 1989. Guided by Delilah, a puzzling female voice over walkie talkie, Henry is coerced into investigating a number of unexplained occurrences and disappearances in this wilderness. One tense moment includes the revelation that your lookout tower--now in the distance--has been taken over by a mysterious character. Interactions with Delilah aren't mandatory and it will be up to you to decide how much you wish to trust her. Firewatch is also notable for its art direction, led by illustrator and poster designer Olly Moss.
With PlayStation ending a day of amazing press conferences and more still to come, we predict that 2015 might already be the best E3 ever.
