Maybe we can have a Adventure styled game and call it something differnt. But at this point its like having a mario 64 2. That and as we've seen with sonic boom, SEGA dose'nt know what to do with sonic. They haven't for years, the adventure games were playable, but the only truly good games from 1994 to 2010 were the DS games. And from 2010 till now the only good games have been Colors and Generations. I love sonic but he hasnt been good  for years, maybe the good Blue Blur should take a break. I like the idea of a Sonic Adventure 3 because if Sonic games came in subseries (Adventure, Storybook, Modern) the Adventure series are my favourate.

Yes the major con is no boosting but the pro is that you can explore at your own pace and experiance speed on your own. I tihnk this is a fair trade because games like Unleashed, Colour, Generations put a lot of detail and construction in the apperance of the stages and you don't have time to give attention to detail due to boost passing most of the stages.

What I liked about Sonic Adventure is that it tried different things other than reaching stage goals and boss fights. It had minigames, fishing, chao raising, pinball, dogfights etc. It didn't had Sonic all about speed but shows he was open to other fun things. Even back then the stage designs were awesome and also had details to them, such as eyecandy in Sky Deck which had unaccessable corridors and control stations with windows and Lost World with ruins and the cliffside path showing the other ancient temples.

And I know most had a love/hate reliationship with Adventure Fields, personally I loved them, I find them great for story progression, chatting with NPCs as well as ideal places to experiment with controls and physics. (I don't like the new westernized cartoon NPCs though, prefer the animeish dreamcast ones even if they were low-poly.)

Sonic Lost World is the latest Sonic game in the series which I didn't enjoy. Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyrics never felt complete but I believe it had the right ideas here and there just were not clear on them. For example I would of enjoyed exploring Cliff's Dig Site and Bygone Island as "Dreamcast" Sonic than I would as "Boom" Sonic. Dreamcast-Sonic has above average run speed and can spin-dash to get to places much faster, especially with his spin-dash "launch" technique of ramps making exploring more fun. Boom-Sonic had to have standard speed like the rest of his group which made exploring these places boring. If it was Modern-Sonic (Unleashed, Colour, Generations) had the boost which would allow him to travel large distance much quickker than Dreamcast and Boom Sonic but manuvering the boost is such a hassle it's just not worth it.

So yeah, this is why I would prefer Sonic Adventure 3. Or the very least the next Sonic game to have Dreamcast gameplay because I would settle with that.
