If you want emblems, then yes the Chao bullshit is mandatory.
The game will be titled "Sonic Adventure 3" or some other name. Unleashed, Colors, and Generations all had working titles at some point.
Remember that rapper going on Twitter and confirming he was recording a rap song (presumably for Knuckles) for a new Sonic game? Yeah.
That was on YouTube actually.
Don't worry, there will be a new Sonic rumor next quarter that everyone will buy wholesale.
Why not? They have made it more than obvious work has begun on a next-gen Sonic title. I think an E3 reveal is a safe bet.
Well, that recent Edge cover tease suggests that the next Sonic game was supposed to have been announced by now. It was probably just delayed until closer to E3.
I wouldn't take the Edge teaser as something that's Sonic-related. Unless the Chao are getting a redesign, it's for some other game franchise with cute characters.
The reveal in that issue of Edge was for PES ... Clearly something was pulled.
So pack it up, this Excursion rumor has now Expired.

The thread for this was locked over at Sonic Retro but given this is the same guy that leaked Generations I'm inclined to believe this may be legit. The only thing that throws me off is the name. "Sonic Excursion" would only be plausible as a working title. There's no way in hell Sega is releasing a Sonic game with that as the final name.
Bang, this puts it all to rest:
The entire thing has been debunked already. Even the Generations quote was fabricated.
The sites he shows as having run the story are mostly fansites and forums. What "video game journalists" did he fool?
Sonic 4 is infinitely worse than the Advance and Rush games, and those aren't even all that brilliant either, just competent Sonic platforming with pleasing aesthetics and music.I'd be down for another Sonic Adventure type game. I only borrowed Unleashed, but it seemed like they got the overworld stuff figured out. I don't care what anybody says, SA1 was amazing back in 1999 (and especially 1998 if you rented it from Hollywood Video).
I'd like to see Dimps make Episode III as their swan song to Sonic. S4 isn't any better or worse than the other million games they've done; I thought everyone loved Advance and Rush?
edit: I know the rumor is fake
Yes. That chao shit was so lame.

Like this mockup and the several others that have been floating around for the past six months or so, most people seem to want a S3&K system, so I hope now that Colors/Generations have reached a fairly good standard with 3D Sonic that's what Sonic Team's focusing on. Levels remain the same for each character and everybody has the same core-moveset, but slight adjustments like Sonic having a homing attack, Tails being able to fly and Knuckles' glide pave the way for vastly different paths depending on which character you're playing as.Also I hope Sonic Team are hard at work finding out new and fun ways to implement the other characters. We need Chao Garden and Multiplayer.....

It's a far more inoffensive way to integrate a ton of characters younger players are obsessed with in a Sonic game without getting as obnoxious with all the out-of-place gameplay mechanics like the earlier 3D games did. Goes without saying the plot should stay roughly as simple as Unleashed's/Colors was as well so it's not cringe inducing for anyone over 13 to play.
Bumping this thread given the recent Lost World Wii U announcement....
Is this description aligned with what we think lost World is?
