Re: Will we ever get a hint #2?

Mightn't they have gotten the date wrong?

Re: Will we ever get a hint #2?

Definitely a possibility that GDC would annouce the game hint a day before just to either annoy us or to create a hint so obscure that everyone will say that it does not make any sense. To give an example last years game hint #2 was the first logo which made sense after the game was released but made no sense before hand.

Re: Will we ever get a hint #2?

No, I don't think they got the date wrong because on the post, it says there was already one edit. I'd guess they'd fix it if they had it wrong.

Re: Will we ever get a hint #2?

I think that at this point, the hint may be released at kickoff if at all. Bill, I wish you would *please* give us another!

Re: Will we ever get a hint #2?

I think the second hint may be the the Flash Update I, II, and III.
There may be three "flashes", where the human player, through the Kinect system, must make the three elements of the FIRST logo to complete a task.

I believe the autonomous will remain intact, and that the "flashes" will be the endgame, like the minibot last year.

Re: Will we ever get a hint #2?

I think that if you're disappointed in Bill, your entitlement mentality is showing and it's one ugly baby. FIRST doesn't owe you any hints whatsoever.

He may already have the hint but has yet to release it until later...

Do we know if he is doing the animation again this year? And the narration too? If so, all hail the little robot guy that gets broken every year.
