Exactly, hence why we can't make any more accurate predictions regarding the name just yet.

Assuming of course that any of this is true. I'd be most amused if next month SEGA sent out a press release with a statement that reads similar to the follow:

"Due to the rampant over-saturation of the franchise, we at SEGA have decided to place the "Sonic The Hedgehog" franchise on a temporary hiatus for the foreseeable future. During this time we intend to focus our efforts on creating new IPs as well as reviving classic SEGA franchises, including Shenmue and Jet Set Radio."

Of course, this won't happen but I'd laugh if it did.

If they title was based on the script the games would all just be called Sonic Skip.

The other characters thing is pretty worrying, hopefully it's more like Tails/Knuckles on Sonic 3 than other characters in the the Adventure games.

I don't mind other characters as long as they're FUN to play as and are RELATED to the story and its progress.

Agreed, less arbitrary characters is a must, the series has been diluted with a deluge of amateurs!!

Maybe its just me but this news smells a little of SA3, but the multiple routes etc makes me think of Shadow The Hedgehog *shudder*
