EMERGING TRENDS: Welcome to the Microconsole Generation | Tadhg KELLY
0In this session, Jawfish Games creative director Tadhg Kelly talks about the problems facing a console gaming sector in an age where gamers have become used to apps, free-to-play games and personal technology. He discusses why a new class of gaming machine that he calls the "microconsole" has the potential to disrupt everything we think we know about console gaming and make the world anew. He outlines how app economics, liberalized publishing and a lack of heavy handed gatekeepers could create the next fertile landscape for games, and some of the opportunities that lie within. Will we see a future where innovative game design finally makes its way to the television set, free of old world constraints? Kelly thinks it's inevitable, and would like to show you that future.
