You mean THIS sonicadventure3.com? Nothing more than a domain squatter.

Honestly Havoc, sometimes I wonder if you even look at your sources before you post them. =\

Yea, after seeing that it was all started by TSSZ and the fact that these domains have been held for about three months already, without anyone discovering them sooner, I've pretty much written it off. Hell, given the current gameplay style for Sonic, there is roughly no chance in hell of a new game going back to that old style.

The thing is, different people think of different things when you say 'How many characters are in the game'.

Are we talking about playable choices, drivers, vehicle forms, which platform are we talking about, what?

Me, I go with actual playable choices on the character select. Over all the different platforms, this totals up to 29 actual playable choices. But that doesn't mean that there are 29 playable choices in all platforms (in fact no single platform has all 29). Some drop down to the low 20's, some instead have high 20's.

Why is this? Well some platforms have characters that are unique to that platform. I'm not going to say which, that's part of the fun of the reveals! Some are SEGA characters, some are not. Don't bother asking :P

Playable choices doesn't necessarily equal drivers either. Not as we're talking passengers or hood ornaments, counting those would indeed be cheap, but you know this is game all about transformation, we are doing things with the vehicles that we've not shown you, that are going to really surprise you.

So yes I get that it's fun to debate who is right and who is wrong, but at the end of the day, you can measure what's there in loads of different ways. Across all the playable vehicles, there are currently more than 90 different forms (as each vehicle has a land, air and sea mode + you've not seen anything on the All-Stars...) and who said each vehicle was limited to a single driver... Or indeed vehicle type per surface.

Wait and see. This is why whenever you ask us anywhere, we can't give you a straight answer. Well that and the NDA's.

Incidentally, Joe and Derek would never have a fight, but Joe would clearly win in a drinking contest

At the very least, make the console exclusive characters sensible, like what Soul Calibur 2 did. Dropping the roster to 20 on certain consoles? What, you mean the handheld versions no one buys?
