Similarly, other PlayStation 1 games are also getting their time in the sun. Games like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro Reignited Trilogy, and of course, Tony Hawk. These revivals make one remember what Stephen King once said, “Sooner or later, everything old is new again.”

“The challenge with Tomb Raider is if you go a week later you’re against Star Wars Battlefront, if you go a week earlier you’re against Call of Duty Black Ops III; you go two weeks earlier you’re against Halo 5. And then you go late and then you’re like well, ‘Does the consumer have money left to buy the game?’ So there wasn’t a better scenario for us except that was the week it wasn’t going head-to-head against Call of Duty or Star Wars Battlefront.”
