3:00 mins in to the video, maybe the matches are going to be 3 mins long now?

Re: 2013 Game Hint!

I'm thinking the repetition of threes may be more likely tetras or something similar than a third alliance, although that would be an awesome change up!

Re: 2013 Game Hint!

Considering that a rick roll is used to troll people and that the picture is taken 3:00 into the video...

and for the past however many years a match has been 3:15...

What if... they're taking away autonomous mode.

Matches are 2:15. As mentioned before, possibly adding another minute to matches?

Re: 2013 Game Hint!

Everyone is predicting a three alliance game, but, there are 4 thumbtacks. To me, it seems like there are 4 separate colors: Red, Yellow, Blue, and Orange. Maybe then it will be 1v1v1v1, or 2v2v2v2? 8 teams on the field at once would mean more matches per team given the current schedule, but that may be too many teams on the field at one time, though...

I'm agreeing with the triple play 2.0. They did Rack 'N Roll, then went back another year to Aim High, and now they should be going back another year for Triple Play. I'm a bit skeptical about adding a third alliance simply because they've spent so many years on the 3v3 concept that it might take too much of a field change to add more alliances.

In 2003 Rick Astley released his compilation album "3 Originals" including the very first song on the list, "Never gonna give you up."

2003 was Stack Attack... please no...

Also worth pointing out that Stack Attack was played 2v2 so would it really be out of the question to return to the stacking idea of scoring (Last time it was even kind of used was 2005) and adding a third alliance to make it 2v2v2 could make it a very modern version of Stack Attack. Someone else mentioned the Aluminum bar at the top as well, I'm thinking 2003 field but in a triangle formation with a triangle mound in the middle, with a 2004 end game bar in a triangular shape over the top to hang on in the end.

All I have to say is... no more boxes please....

Orange? The two pins on the left are the exact same color (ignoring lighting and angle/reflection differences).

Re: 2013 Game Hint!

The whole "following the repeat" trend of it being time for triple play (2007&2011 , 2006&2012" is kind of a stretch...I don't think the GDC follows patterns that closely. As engineers we're always trying to find ways to understand the system in which the game is chosen but it's really whatever meets the GDC's goals and is a combination between crazy and fun

Speculate on though...I love reading it!

Re: 2013 Game Hint!

Aim High II, with longer periods. I'm glad to hear FIRST is replaying the best game.

Thank you GDC!
