They'll screw it up, I have no faith that Sega is capable of creating a classic, 2-d Sonic game.
Sega thinks that Sonic is all about speed now, which couldn't be further from the truth. I've been playing Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 pretty consistently lately, and the game design is the exact opposite of Sonic Rush and Sonic Unleashed. Slow, deliberate platforming mixed in with the occasional speedy segment. Of course, the main difference is that the speedy segments rarely have bottomless pits or enemies scattered within them.
Sonic 3 especially, is far more about exploring the dozens of paths in a single level, than about speed.
I'm also pissed that they chose 3-d graphics. 3-d is ugly, the game's graphics will age poorly, it'll never have the same appeal as the Genesis games. Don't call it Sonic the Hedgehog 4 if the graphics aren't going to match the old Genesis games.
Hype level: 0.
