Sonic hasn't had a legitimately good game in decades, a few that people argue has good parts and one that ripped half of its content from the old games to begin with (Mania). Its a literal floundering franchise that might have actually died if the movie didn't become an unexpected megahit.
But I'm sure now people will totally buy it.
The original's appeal depended on not being able to see much further so that memory played a part in speeding through levels. Multiple replays of levels was also assumed. Aside from a few niches, today's games have mostly evolved away from multiple replays, and 3D cameras let you see towards the horizon.
Sonic's original idea is very hard to adapt to 3D.
AFAIK the original concept was basically pinball + sidescrolling. As far as that goes, Super Monkey Ball seems to take the concept into 3D, in a much more logical way, although at a way slower pace. But the 3D Sonic games themselves are more like really fast-pasted Crash, which just doesn't make much sense.
Perhaps they should take the combat away completely and focus on something like high speed parkour.
