There is a game with that title coming. As to when, depends on the amount of help I get. I really have had it with SEGA so they can come after me. As it is they're trying to subpoena me for a domain I snapped up and I gave them the middle finger when they wanted it. As I mention on one of my blog posts, SEGA is up the creek without a paddle and no sense of direction. They have upset an entire generation of Sonic customers. I am seeing games like Sonic Unleashed being withdrawn.. looks visually nice, but OMFG what a crap game!!! I am the lead developer of this new game. I am going to make history, and I am doing it from a country where SEGA has no legal jurisdiction or even a sales presence. Unless SEGA get really heavy with me, I will keep the title as Sonic Adventure 3. And the game is open-source, modelled with Blender and KUbuntu as the host platform. If you tap into the open-source community, you can be assured that the game gets done quickly, and the quality of it, is usually very high. The biggest mistake, aside from the Sega Saturn and canning the Dreamcast, that SEGA made, was to change direction after Sonic Adventure 2. Everyone had a reasonable expectation the game was going to be concluded in a third instalment. Let me tell you, the shock of them going almost out of business and then bringing out Sonic Heroes.. which appears to be some of the work done for SA3, it was a very hard pill for me to swallow, I was depressed for most of '01 deep into '03. That was two years of my life, I hardly remember. Do not under-estimate the amount of work that goes into a game like this. I am doing the work mostly alone, with occasional support from the hackers at Sonic Retro. Work and family does interfere, but be assured I will give it the best I can give it and I want this game out before I turn 40. It is a bucket list item. The current status quo is, we have most of the cast modelled. That's all. I am testing game engines right now. I am also evaluating one of NVIDIA's GPU+CPU products, to see if I can do the successor to the Dreamcast aswell, to really give SEGA a nice fat slap in the face. As to where to find me... Google! PS. And just to throw the cat in amongst the pigeons, when I am ready I will open up a site, and all the Sonic fans all over the world can give me THEIR INPUT into this game, I will aggregate that and turn out what the customer wants, not what I think the customer wants!!!!!
