That's a misleading article.
The truth is buried in a thread on neogaf.

But basically
Its not good for people to think this is an AAA game that Sony is just gonna fund.
He needs kickstarter money. The more he gets the better the game will be. He's not lying when he's talking about streamlining the gameplay, or only having one environment.
This is still an IP owned by sega who told yu to go get his own money. There's no telling how this is gonna pan out.
Not a credible source.
