SEGA wants to "win back the platform fans" with Sonic lost world!

Sega wants to make their signature IP, less about 'Super Sonic Racing' and making more about taking sonic back in time, to another Lost world!

Ok ok, I'll stop with these silly but fun references, ok, so Sega has recently made Sonic more about speed then platforming for all, and lets be honest here, even if you love the speed and can easily platform with sonic going that fast, it looses a lot of fans who can't deal with the speed, not everyone has Super Sonic Racing eyes!

I know I said I'd stop but it was irresistible!

In the past sonic was fast, but if you watch game theory, you'd know that technically Mario was faster back in the day!
I know right big shocker to all those blast processing fans, (I think nintendo stole some blast processors from sega when they weren't looking!) but today Sega's a little bit in trouble with there fan's, not in the typical, Oh no if they don't do anything no one will buy sonic, but in the way that a lot of there older fanbase enjoyed the slower sonic, but the newer sonic fans, or ones that got used to the newer sonic, want there sonic to be fast!

Sonic Team's head, Takashi Iizuka had this to say about the Sonic Lost World matter!

'Sonic started out as a platform title but, as we got to the more recent ones, it changed to be a more speed-based game. Recent fans will be familiar with that speed-based gaming, but with Lost World, we wanted to win back the platform fans. We don’t just want old Sonic fans to come back, though: we want Mario players and other platform gamers to enjoy the new game, too.'

This looks more like its just going to be aimed at older players or people who play mario, but in Sonic lost worlds, sonic also has the spindash, so if you are a fan of speed they aren't trying to drive you away, but expect more platforming in this sonic game then in any of the other recent games!
