Sega Announces new 2D Sonic title

[Vipershark]

i didn't say there is no storyline, i said it is at most used to give some sort of continuity between s2 and s3, but it doesnt change the fact there is no story in the game itself(all the plot is written and told outside the game).

and this is where you are incorrect, sir (not wordfiltered)

it's pretty smart how they did it
every level in S3K has a small cutscene at the beginning and end that tells why and how sonic got to each level and how he gets to where he goes next.
some of them are interactive cutscenes.

Not a single word is spoken in the entire game, yet it still visually tells an entire story simply by the characters' reactions.

as for the rest of your post, I see what you mean. Though I still find it incredibly stupid that they're billing the game as "the true sequel" but it isn't. At all.
