It's difficult to be optimistic isnt it?

None of the modern Sonic games have really done it for me. Theres elements that work, yes. But if it continues to be bare bones... i don't know. I will wait and see.

As for Sonic 4 they mentioned in the article. I don't believe it. If SoJ thought that, they are absolutely oblivious. You can't call a game Sonic 4 and then pretend it wasnt supposed to live up to the legacy.

 

No no. Your missreading that alittle. Sega was making a mobile Sonic platformer that was not called Sonic "4". SoA saw it wanted it to bigger than was intended for and pushed calling it Sonic 4. SoJ agreed, but effort and budget didn't change.
