I have read the majority of the thread (I have perhaps missed a few hundred posts since the last time I was on yesterday...) and have come to a few conclusions, some more relevant than others.

We know who is in the picture, and we know what she is with. Little Eva with an unknown, generic, column.

We know that she sang the big shot song "Locomotion." If I was going to put money on anything, there would be some kind of theme this year involving "Locomotion"... no whether that is the name of the game or a game element, I do not know.

The column is unspecific, not having a top of bottom. This depicts a tall cylinder. Something to climb vertically?

We know the image is reversed from its original version. The relevancy of this is... questionable.

We know after many long years (20 years infact) the GDC will most likely make the game pieces something easy to acquire, as last year they got soccer balls. Some theories say tennis balls, I do not know the accuracy of this "Red Herring."

Many people are emphasizing on the simplicity of the game. Complex games are not something a new spectating crowd can keep up with.

I dont think that they will have a tethered robot... thats a whole nother system teams and programmers have to deal with. (This is more of an opinion now that I think about it...)


At this point I have a few questions. Did anyone find the original version of this picture, and if so what is different? I am wondering if there is anything different in the column or other primary pieces of the picture.

I think they picked this picture for a reason, for the two things in said picture. Eva, and the column. They could have picked any picture with her, but the picked the one with the column.

My opinion: This picture has two big points, Locomotion and Column.

My guess: A game themed around railway systems with some kind of end game column climb.
