Dreamcast Sonic Adventure – no remake or remaster planned

[Dany28]

The escape from the Orca is the magic moment of Sonic Adventure's this is not very interactive but graphically impressive at the Dreamcast time.

Takashi Iizuka the head of the Sonic Team has now clarified that there are currently no plans for a remake or remaster of Sonic Adventure. Instead the company is fully focused on new titles.

Sonic Adventure was released in PAL territories on October 14, 1999 for the Dreamcast. Later versions for GameCube, PS3 and Xbox 360 followed.

I think they probably have no idea what to do.

Sega does not know what to do honestly. Yuji Naka left so there's no reason to remake/remaster it.

The fans usually restore Sonic games. There's mods for SA1 and 2. There's a new version of Sonic 2006 now too. lol

They could just fix the current broken port instead. is not like the game is awful to look at, it's just extremely buggy.

It's too bad. The game could use some jank removal.
You could make it control nicer with tiny tweaks.
You could improve the campaign with tiny changes to level design and removing Big entirely.

If it re-releases as a boost game, has less hub backtracking and maybe only needs you to play as Sonic maybe it could work.

Sonic Generations had Speed Highway and Emerald Coast.

but then it wouldnt really be sonic adventure would it...

personally i dont see the point in wanting SA1 and 2 remake/remasters. mods already fix most of the issues. it would be nice if the steam port for SA1 was fixed and made more like the dreamcast though...

So, Sonic Adventure having a remaster has been a topic discussed in the fandom for about as long as I’ve been in it, and probably longer. It’s the kind of project people keep getting their hopes up for despite evidence always being shaky. It’s never been planned to be in development, but people always talk about it because, well… people want it. So most discussion about it “potentially happening” has always been confirmation bias.

Quite frankly, I think in the eyes of SEGA: they DID remaster Sonic Adventure. Back in 2003. DX is that remaster. And that sucks to hear for a lot of people because, over the years, that version of the game has become more and more disliked. Alongside that, people want to play Sonic Adventure again AT ALL on modern platforms. Or play it for the first time, because Sonic is one of the few series where every single title is always relevant to fandom discussion. The sad truth is that I think SEGA has lost the source code, which is something they’re infamous for doing. And not just the Dreamcast original, which would account for why it’s never been ported, but the DX version as well since it’s been over 13 years since that version of the game was last ported to anything.

In short: don’t get your hopes up for an official Adventure remaster. Or remake. If it ever does happen, that’s cool, but it’s clearly not in the cards right now and probably won’t be ever again. If you need to take your frustrations out on anything, here’s the official Sonic Adventure bop bag:
