I agree tho, a new good Sonic game with an interesting story would be amazing - hopefully we'll get it for the series 25th anniversary.

Also, even if Adventure 3 was nothing like its predecessors, if Sega was desperate enough to play use an old "series" name just to boost sales, they would then definitely call it "Sonic Adventure 3". From all I said so far, I be happy if the next Sonic game had thest wo things:
 * Dreamcast like gameplay
 * A story catered for a wider audience than just children.

I don't think it has to be called a "Sonic Adventure" for it because like Sonic Heroes and Shadow's game and Sonic '06, these do not have the name "Adventure".

I think if Sega really gonna make "Sonic Adventure 3" it will require a few more things. Such as Crush 40, mini games, alternate gameplay and what I loved about Sonic Adventure 1 was the map developers went ahead and had areas completely unneccisary to the story, just for fun. Such as Dr. Eggmans personal quarters and lounge and play room.
