Game trends

The only known trend in FIRST is the rise of unknowns.

Beyond that, there is always the chance they take ideas from the previous year to mockup game ideas for the new game. You'll never really know unless you were on the GDC yourself.

very strong trend toward wheels and motors.

so far there hasn't been any walking, flying, hovering, levitating robots.

hmmm.... there is that cirque du soleil guy on the GDC.

The second we see the game, it's going to be filled with platforms and like a big pit or trampoline and we'll be like "DOH! That was him!"

71's robot "walked/crawled" in 2002

and I remember hearing about a hovering vacuum cleaner serving as a placebo bot pre 2000
