Re: It is almost here!!!
I haven't seen anyone bring up the possibility that there might not be a theme this year. (or a 'soft' theme like 2015 and the sports themed games)

I definetly think they'll bring the theme back again based on the success of last year's theme. Space theme I hope.

I think that the 2017 game will be science fiction/space themed. I hope its a shooting game.

That would be... interesting...

It could also be a football game.

If it is a space game, this guy guessed it 2 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKwZ...dex=15&list=WL

Re: It is almost here!!!
I believe it will be a "pick and place" style game.

Ala 2005, 2007, 2011. It's been a while.

I think if you look at the Mars Rovers, the Canadarm that was on the Space Shuttle. A "space/mars exploration" style game makes sense.

I don't love the over themed games but I think that's the new reality.

Re: It is almost here!!!
I think it'll be some sort of pick and place game. I'm hoping it has some option to score in volume, as we have not had a true volume scoring game since 2009 (!), but I'm not holding my breath. Would love to see something where you pick up many relatively small objects, and puke them into something high up / far away.

We had 'moon exploration' in 2009; Mars would most likely be next in the sequence.
