The problem with Sonic Lost World is that there a lot of ideas, but no focus. It tried to be both complex and simple, soft and edgy, nostalgic and new, but nothing gels and as a result it comes off as an unappealing cacophony of ideas that feels like it tries too hard to appeal to too many people at once. The weird part is that staff were confident that the game was going to be the game that received critical acclaim, despite the fact the game is a mess.
I remember Aaron or someone at SEGA demonstrating Lost World when it was still months off from release, and even then, I could tell that the game was a bit awkward to control. And why does Sonic even need a run button? Or any 3D platformer for that matter? Isn't that what analog controls are for? It's as if in 2013 both Nintendo and SEGA forgot that analog sticks existed.

Nintendo had no involvement with the development of Sonic Lost World.

I think he's just referring to the run button found in Super Mario 3d world.

Right, that's what I meant. Sorry for any confusion.

Afraid not. It's a rather big swim and walk for me here in Britain.

It's not like they'd release a game from 15 years ago..

Seems like a pretty damn good throwback. Something like Mega man 8 and 9

Pretty cool move, actually. I could say they're playing it safe but considering this is Sega, they're actually playing with fire, given how Sonic 4 turned out to be.

But still, already looks leagues above Sonic 4.
