Don’t Read Too Much Into Lopsided Results
Remember, both Sonics are in the trailer for what we believe to be Sonic Generations released last week. So why was there a fuss over a poll Sega held on its Facebook page asking fans to choose between the blue blur’s modern or classic rendition?
Most obvious, the current results–showing almost three and a half times more votes for Classic Sonic as of this article’s publication–demonstrate a continued desire to see a true return to original form for the hedgehog from the franchise’s oldest fans. But so much of it has been made elsewhere that while most were opining on the box art prototypes we first revealed to the world, Sega took to Twitter Thursday to clear the air.
“(The) Facebook poll is just for fun,” the statement said. “We wanted to try the new poll functionality and give our million+ fans a chance to have fun too.”
The bottom line: Everyone calm down.

Fans do realize that. I never understood where the idea they didn’t came from. No one said that about Sonic 4. In fact, some people who didn’t like Sonic 4 said it shouldn’t have even been titled Sonic 4.
A title doesn’t MAKE a game but it identifies it. When someone says they want a Sonic Adventure 3 they mean they want a Sonic Adventure 3. Not a game that’s just LIKE the Adventure series (Tho that’d be cool too), not a game merely CALLED Sonic Adventure 3. But a game that is called Sonic Adventure 3 and is worthy of the title. =)
I want SA3 as well. I don’t really mind that Sonic Gens isn’t SA3 and I expected it not to be. But I would like to see SA3 simply cuz:
1: ppl have been complaining that none of the games have been as good since SA2 anyways.
2: I’m interested in seeing a third part in the series to make it a trilogy like the original classics. Especially if we’re calling it Adventure “series”.
3: It’d be interesting to see that style again successfully.
4: Because they make new games all the time and SA3 would be a new game that I know would be fun at least to me (assuming they made a game that lived up to it’s name) And making other games besides SA3 doesn’t rule out SA3 also being made some day. The more good games the better. =)
5: I wanna do a proper spindash again. =w= lol
@foxboy
all i’m saying (well your right about all that) is that some fans won’t stop whining and complaining about a game not being SA3. hey what if the game surpassed the series in a attempt to create a adventure 3 and became it’s own series? that would be great and all but i’ve seen people on fourms and this sight who would curse a game because it’s not titled sa3 even though it brings that same feeling of story,sound but fixed “similar” gameplay. believe me i want sega to make a sa3 but not because of fans whining like what happened here in generations. and a great example of people hating on a game for no big reason is super smash(no megaman).
and fans also said that sonic 4 should have been called sonic rush 3. i bet it wouldn’t have gotten so much hate on that case. by the way how come they took off that newer post about the egg mobile toy thing and t-shirts?
couldnt be a page about sonic without paragraphs of nutty comments down below

I’m not denying there are some fans who are making the rest of us who want an SA3 look bad. I’m just saying it’s not all black and white.
You know that Sonic Unleashed was made in an attempt to make SA3? I like Sonic Unleashed. And for a while so did the fan base til it slowely converted against it (I fear for this possible future happening to Sonic Colors XD) Speaking of Sonic Colors, same models and similar gameplay and music style. I consider Colors part of the same mini-series as Unleashed and I would probably consider this as being exactly what you said. An attempt to make SA3 creating another cool series instead.
BUT, I still want an SA3. Like I said. I’m not asking for SA3 to be in PLACE of another possibly cool game. But rather a cool game itself to be alongside whatever other cool games they make instead including what was made in a failed attempt at SA3 but became a successful game. (Heck, if they keep trying to make an SA3 but accidentally make other cool games I’m good with that too. xD)
And you know I actually agree with you. I want an SA3. And I am only now voicing that I want an SA3 because SEGA specifically said that they might make it if we show that we want it. (It’s always been known but not really emphasized on specifically). They’re basically saying “If you really want SA3, let us know.” So I’m doing that. BUT, I don’t agree with hating on a game like Sonic Generations just because one was too ignorant to pay attention and use common sense to realize expecting the anniversary game to be SA3 was ridiculous. The way I see it, if they make SA3 then I might get to play Sonic Generations AND SA3 someday rather than it being either or.
@foxboy
EXACTLY! that’s what i was trying to say. thank you or understanding and not thinking i was trying to say something else. but yeah i want to play sa3 and this i don’t want to choose one game. they both are games i would be interested to play. i really didn’t expect sa3 to be the anniversary game. also yeah sonic colors is a perfect example of what i meant! be happy with what you got a awesome game!(again i’m brining back the super smash no megaman rants.) if they want to take their time and find the right formula great! there’s no pressure. hey if sega postponed a few games to later im sure most fans would support sega.(mainly because of whats happened to games that were supposed to be sa3.)hey if they don’t make SA3 okay at least we get good sonic games.
i mean another great example is kingdom hearts 3. i REALLY want that game but it’s not here yet. well i still like most of the kh games square is making for us.(kh 3d looks so GOOD!) now kh 3d isn’t kh3 but it still looks great in it’s own way.
