Sonic hasn't been a coin flip since after Sonic Unleashed.
What IS a coin flip is how flipped out his fans are.
It's stupid because there's an audience who loves to ***** their dollars out to classic gameplay, and then there's an audience that enjoys the **** out of boosting and blazing through levels like maniacs. Sonic Team finally decided to try and cater to both with Colors and Generation, but there's always one side that's going to complain.
I happen to be a fan of both because Sonic 1-K are amazing, and because Rush's boost system was amazing. Colors and Generations did a damn good job replicating that kind of mechanic, and I hope Lost World's "gear" system really works to cater to both worlds.
Lost World will be fine, just like Colors and Generations were fine (both console and handheld versions). It's more a matter of how saddlesore one fandom will be over the other.
