The issue I have with a 3rd Sonic Adventure game, is that once it's made...there's a good chance fans would immediately hate it merely for the fact it's NOT Adventure 1 and 2. Also, its been 14 years since the release of Adventure 2, doesn't seem like a good idea to return to a classic game series that old, especially when most fans have moved on.

The Adventure story arch has also basically been wrapped up in Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog, so there's no reason to continue it without starting a WHOLE new arch. The reason Sega stopped making Adventure games in the first place was because they wanted to allow Sonic to explore OTHER ideas (which have delivered mixed results). Going back to Adventure 3 would be somewhat of a step back really, rather make a brand new Sonic game under a new title. This way, you don't have AS MUCH pressure from fans when creating the game (like the pressure that Sega had placed on them when they announced Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1).
