User blog comment:MTP97/Will Sonic Adventure 3 Be Announced This Year?/@comment-5354215-20120916072000

If it's confirmed that Sonic Adventure 3 is coming out, it's wise not to build your hype and expectations too high. The higher your expectations are, the more likely you are to be disheartened. That's one of the key reasons why Sonic 06 is seen as the worst Sonic game - because it was the 15th anniversary game, and the elated fans predicted it would be the game to beat all games.

I'm sure Sonic Adventure 3 would be a good game. It would only be a 'major disappointment' in the eyes of the older "fans". For me, and all the proper fans out there, it'll range from mediocre to amazing (depending on how the game actually turns out), even if it ends up like Sonic 06 (which it shouldn't do).
