My first thoughts were Kinect implementation. We haven't heard much of that this year, and we already know that they wanted to improve its function in the game, so it wouldn't have been a clue anyways. That may be part of the twist thought. I'm also thinking that they're will be a different field setup and a better end game.
I thought it was earlier than 2006 that the human player pad was...because I was kidding when I said return of it. I don't think the Kinect will be returning either because it's not in the rookie kit, and I doubt that Microsoft is up for donating another 3000 of them. I think barely 10% of teams ended up using the hybrid station, though some more than others.

I've been saying it for a while too, I think Triple Play-esque is the way the GDC swung for this year. They're somewhat overdue for an unconventional object game. As far as the 4 robot alliances / 3 alliances, I just have to say one thing. No. Not happening.
