Sean Leiden, an executive who led the PlayStation platform to usher in its most glorious era, said that when the "Ricky and Dingtang" series was restarted on the PS4 console, there were some internal resistance.

The iconic action platformer experienced a brief silence before the PS4 console set a sales record and finally returned in 2016 - the new work released is not only a re-interpretation of the first work in the series, but also a link to the animated film of the same name released in the same year.

In an interview, Lyden mentioned that the process of approving the project was not going well: “I decided to develop Ricky and Dingtang on PS4, but people in the marketing and sales department were saying, ‘No one wants to play an old game like Ricky and Dingtang.’”

The way Layden convinced other departments was to cite market data - "Although I don't like over-reliance on data, this time the data is useful" - data shows that only about 20% or even fewer PS4 players know the brand "Ricky and Dingdon"."That is, 80% of players don't understand it, so for them, it's not an old game at all, but a new game. And a good game is always a good game."

Leden uses this story to explain why he still approves a reboot of the now-niche series like Jack and Dust.In addition, he also talked about other dormant PlayStation IPs, including Order 1886, Navy SEALs, and All-Stars.He thought the fighting game "has its value", but it completely failed to reach the level of "Nintendo Stars Battle" at the time.
