Advancing the franchise

I don't know if Ilzukia is in a competition with himself on how dumb he can be everytime he gets interview but it just feel like he'll come up with any excuse to other not make an Adventure 3 or damage control something that didn't need to be alter.

nintendoeverything.com/sega-aw…

I can start with that title. Sega been knew fans wanted an Sonic Adventure 3 it's one of the most requested Sonic games in the franchise next to Sonic Rush 3 and Sonic 4.

"Sonic fans have long been interested in SEGA creating a new Sonic Adventure game. However, the sub-series hasn’t been touched in many, many years."
Sub-series? Sonic Adventure isn't a spin off it's a mainline Sonic game that is canon to Sonic 3&Knuckles. It's very rare that sub-series would have any relation with the main titles the exception being the Advance games, Battle, Colors DS to a lesser extend, and Generations DS also to a lesser extend.

"
And based on new comments from Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka, SEGA isn’t in a rush to create Sonic Adventure 3."
That's nothing new that hasn't rush to try this idea since 2003. Sonic Heroes was literally created because Ilzukia only believe Hardcore Sonic fans were interested in another adventure game even though it didn't stop me and plenty others who have never played a Sonic game before from buying them but whatev.

"
I hear people saying that they want Adventure 3, but the path that we’re on and … Adventure 3, what fans want that to be, might not be an advancement of the series."
Of course you had you been hearing it since 2001 and hasn't yet capitalize on it yet since you believe only hardcore Sonic fans were interested in that.

"
So I don’t want to do an Adventure 3 and step the franchise back just to give the fans what they want.”
Yet your not afraid to make two games to appeal to Mario fans and making another Classic Sonic game that did just what you said "Stepping the franchise back". Making an Adventure 3 would actually ADVANCE the series because you aren't limited in what you can do. It's been proving everytime you create a Classic Sonic game you have to follow these sets of rules or else it's garbage. Don't believe me look at Sonic 4.

"
Iizuka also explained that SEGA is trying to advance the series."
Sega is the main one that WON'T let the series advance and now they want it to all of a sudden? If Sega wanted the series to advance than Sonic Colors, Generations, and Lost World wouldn't exist because they didn't advance the series in anyways beside giving people reason to leave.

"
Sonic Team isn’t interested in revisiting Sonic Adventure just for the sake of it."
Yet had no problem with going back to the Classic Sonic games for the sake of it.

“From the developer standpoint, every Sonic game that we’re making is taking new steps and advances, furthering the game in a new direction, and that’s dictated where the Sonic series has been going.”
Colors, Generations, Lost World, Boom, Runners, and Mania would like to have a word with you on that one.

"
If we can get the gameplay to evolve and get to a place where Adventure 3 makes sense, then you might see an Adventure 3 come out."
But you had no problem reusing the boost formula without tackling some unnecessary gimmick to it. Say what you will about the Treasure Hunting, Mach Shooting, or... Big's gameplay they at least didn't limit the gameplay because the Adventure formula couldn't stand on it's own. The boost formula was already fundamentally flaw due to you being able to boost all over the place without consequences but ever since they put it in the 3D games they became anything BUT 3D. Every last one of them had 2D section for no reason I would say to please the Classictards nostalgia but than I remember they don't like any 3D game so that's thrown out the window, Unleashed had the Werehog, Colors had the Wisps, Generations had Classic Sonic, and Forces have the Custom Hero, Classic Sonic, and apparently Shadow now. 

"
But we don’t want to take the entire series back to where it was just make people happy. We want to advance the idea of what a Sonic game is.”
You just did that with Sonic Mania.

Ilzukia loves to contradict himself and I'm glad people are beginning to wise up to his bs though there will still be the usual crowd that'll damage control this with "Sonic never work in 3D", "The Adventure games were bad", or something along the line of that shit.

Reminder that Mania was not only made by fans that SEGA hired but it was an anniversary title. Sonic Team had no involvement in Mania at all as they busy with Forces. Just throwing this out there.
