New Life for Old Pixels How Innovation in Retro Gaming is Creating New Opportunities | XP Summit

Presenter: Marshal D. Carper, CMO at Mega Cat Studios
The industry around new retro is very much alive. Game designers are creating successful new retro titles that are playable on retro hardware. Manufacturers are releasing sleek new aftermarket consoles. Hackers are breathing life into old games with new game modes and community-driven events. And a new generation of game designers is appealing to the retro soul of gamers around the world in their creation of new games for modern hardware, deliberately drawing huge swaths of inspiration from the era of CRT screens and empty Surge cans.
In fact, the retro industry is very much a thriving corner of gaming culture and gaming business, but the confusion and skepticism around this space could be limiting its full potential. Part celebration and part impassioned lecture, this talk aims to provide a deep look into new retro, exploring what makes it viable as a business and delving into the impact it continues to have on the gaming present.
