I want a GOOOD Sonic adventure 3. I hope Sega doesn't drop the ball, they let one the most famous and recognizable characters in gaming turn into a laughable, buggy franchise.
Wishful thinking, one of the links at the bottom of that article mentions Sega closing quite a few offices earlier this year. To save you the hassle:
"SEGA have reported that there will be both job losses as well as a shift in focus meaning it will concentrate more on it’s stronger IP’s such as Sonic, Football Manager and Aliens. Lesser titles are set to be cancelled entirely."
Says it all really, they have the attitude of "Lets re-release Space Channel 5! Yeah awesome idea, what about Shenmue 1+2? they happen to be the most requested remakes from the Dreamcast...nah, lets do Space Channel 5 part 2 instead!"
Would it kill them to add Ryo Hazuki in games like Virtua Fighter 5 or Yakuza? Nah f*ck that, lets make another Sonic game...
I hope its more along the lines up Sonic Generations, Sonic Colors or Sonic Adventure. I think Sonic has redeemed himself lately. I grew up with him as Sega's mascot and would love to see him return to his glory.
To be honest, I don't really play new Sonic games, so I can't call them good or bad. What I really hope SEGA does is release a Vita version of Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. I'd LOVE to be able to play Shining Force 1 & 2 wherever I go. Those have to be a couple of the most addictive games around.
0_0?.... WII U? OUYA?

The first one was easily one of the better sonic titles for along while..
