A dumpster doesn't provide me enough of a reward system.

It happened, everyone just hated it.
Yeah, this was SA3
They just did a Sega and thought it was good enough to relaunch their whole frickin series with
Humans are gross and look gross and everything about this game is gross
Give Sonic Adventure 4 to someone who knows what they're doing

Fixed for I need this in my life, I need shadow singing choreographed karaoke, and instead of the normal taxi minigame its actually crazy taxi and you still collect rings so it makes complete sense, and and beating peoples faces in in that combat system.

Combovers don't work when there is no hair
Can't say I'm bothered. 3D Sonic has never been as good as 2D Sonic anyway, and neither of the SA games are very good games. But at least give the Chao fans a spinoff for mobile devices, PC and consoles.

This has happened every time a new Sonic game released on consoles since Sonic Adventure 2. Every console game had distinct level designs for distinct characters (well 2006 had some repeated elements, but other than that it is true). The advantage of having these four playstyles is that they can reuse assets rather than level designs, which is where a huge part of the cost comes from. You could have two acts for each character in each setting, if you mix up the order between the characters, where they go into each scenery, which amounts to 8 levels per set of assets. With the usual ~7 zones, you end up with 56 levels, all with a good playstyle. Of course there is a lot of work involved with creating the levels from a design standpoint, but this would be true for games where mechs and emerald hunting return as well, just that those levels are tied to mediocre to shit gameplay.
Doing something just because the fans want it, without any passion or ideas for it can lead to a mess. Also I am a fan and I wanted Sonic Generations 2, which is what Forces shapes up to be. If it is a good game, I will see, but it was fun at Gamescom, so I am optimistic.
Generations had two characters and managed 18 stages and a bunch of hastily-made junk. I have no idea how you think they're going to produce a worthwhile game three times that size. Yes, they already have the art assets. If it were that easy to retool them into even more stages they would already be doing that.

Boost levels take a lot of time, because they are so large and need to be very fine tuned. Adventure and Mega Drive style levels are much smallere though

To hell with Sonic. Just hook those Chaos up to my veins.
And in spite of that, Classic's "Mega Drive" style levels took up half the game and had just as much junk attached.

The real reason why Sonic Adventure 3 won't happen is because...
My game designer, Yuji Naka owns the rights to the adventure series and he no longer works at SEGA.
...sure
They gotta change the format and just put "Adventure 3" in the title for another to happen because as of right now the old format won't work. It just, no. Not at all. Sure, people will say "but it's not Adventure if they change the format" but hey whatever it takes to have a good game is the end goal.
Sonic Unleashed was nearly called Sonic Adventure 3 and they're constantly using stuff from the Adventure games. Even Forces has Chaos in it
I can see this account getting some use akin to the Putin one.
That said, I don't think Naka would have the rights to the Adventure series.
