I'll just leave this here:

(Eh, it seems this website doesn't like hotlinking, so I'll just quote the content.)

If you want any ray of hope for a brand new entry in the Sonic Adventure series, here it is. On a Youtube listing for one of his videos, rapper Hunnid-P, who was behind the rap vocals for Knuckles's image theme on Sonic Adventure 2, says he is working on a new Knuckles theme for an upcoming Sonic “project”.

“I'll have some new Knuckles music as soon as Sega and I work on this new project for Sonic so stay tuned!” Hunnid-P says in response to a fan comment.

Before jumping on the Sonic Adventure 3 bandwagon, consider this: while the rapper may have had a hand in an image theme and with Knuckles specifically for SA2, that does not necessarily mean he would reprise either role for whatever this new project is. For all we know, it could be for a remix album, which the original Sonic Adventure received, but the sequel did not.

Whatever the project is, it sounds like it's for 2013. You may remember when a member of Crush 40 let the cat out of the bag regarding a new Sonic for 2011, which turned out to be Sonic Generations, almost a year before the game was officially announced. A thought process along similar lines here isn't totally out of the question.

If nothing else, the Q&A sessions for Summer of Sonic and Sonic Boom just got a lot more interesting. We will continue to monitor developments here. Thanks to Matriculated and DocFish for tipping us.

Pretty interesting, to say the least. Hunnid-P said that he's working on some new Knuckles music for an upcoming project with Sega. There's speculation that this could be some kind of Sonic Adventure 3, but it's anyone's guess what he means.

If I had to formulate my own theory, I'd say that it could mark the return of Knuckles as a playable character. I'm sure there are folks out there who sorely miss his gameplay style, which we haven't really seen in full force since the Advance series. Thoughts?

All I got was a link to a survey.

And on his Facebook he has an EP with Knuckles on the cover. Maybe he just means this? hmm

[KeebeeNacho]

Oh God, why...

[Azukara]

Not a fan of Hunnid-P's original works, but I liked when he was rapping in-character (and accompanied with good backing music) in SA2. Hope to see more of what this is soon.

[TheKazeblade]

Saw this the other day. I would assume that it would have something to do with the SA2 re-release first off, such as another official soundtrack or just remastering of the old songs, but this coupled with Iizuka stating they want to experiment with alternate playstyles, or "spin-offs and branches of the Sonic gameplay" in his words sometime back, it could mean just about anything.

•Another spin-off game (I.e. Riders, All Stars, etc.)

•A Knuckles game, but that will never happen so disregard....

or

•Sonic Adventure 3 *shot* *shot* *shot* *shot* *shot*

You shouldn't link to that site, it's blocked for a reason. Link to a different source if there is one or else don't post it at all.

Also, All-Stars Racing Transformed will have remixed music so it could be for that.

[Strife]

...That's actually a pretty clever way to prevent hotlinking. xD Why haven't I seen that before? In any case, I just grabbed the text from the article instead.

An All-Stars Racing remix would be quite awesome, actually - though, we already know that it's in production and have seen all sorts of screenshots and such, so it makes me wonder why he didn't refer to the game by name or as "some sort of racing game."

That would be quite interesting if there was a new Sonic Adventure, or at least a new game with Knuckles playable in it. I miss playing as him, and as long as I'm not hunting for treasure I'll be just fine and dandy (Personally, a refined werehog styled gameplay with less punching, more platforming, would be just perfect for Knuckles IMO). Then again, does the rap music really give its way to high speed platforming?

... but then again it didn't really give it's way to treasure hunting either sooooo make of it what you will.

Sonic 4: Episode 3

but no seriously, now im wondering what this could be...and 2013? AST it's coming in november so I'm not counting with that...oh well, time will tell I guess

[The Fralin Boy]

Sonic Adventure 3 is possible, especially with Adventure 2 on its way, but I dunno, I doubt it. I feel like it has more to do with what people have already said. Hell, I'm not even sure if I want it. Adventure 3's reaction could end up similar to that of Sonic 4's, although at a much, much smaller scale. Fans of the Adventure games have wanted Adventure 3 for so long, it could create such high hopes and expectations that SEGA would fail to meet. But whatever, like I said, I'm not really expecting Adventure 3

[Aerosol]

Nipping this in the bud: Can we please not have a "06 is Adventure 3" retard-a-thon please?

I'm leaning towards this being a remix album, or soething for All Star Racind. I'd LOVE for it to be for a Knuckles spin-off...but something tells me that they've long moved on from Knuckles' almost-hip hop persona. Shit, hip hop suits Vector now far more than it ever did Knuckles. Dat chain, son.

Thank you! I don't care how legitimate the argument may be, one can only read through that debacle of a debate so many times before feeling like a horrible individual.

I feel like it might be a bit too late for ASRT, not to mention in Hunnid-P's YouTube comment he says "as soon as SEGA and I work on this new project" so it does sound like it's a bit off. Short of SA3 a remix album is definitely the most likely, I feel. No matter what, I'm excited; I love the Knuckles raps.

[GeneHF]

I keep calling these and I've yet to play the Lotto.

Sega's getting pretty predictable.

[Scarred Sun]

Too bad Hunnid-P is a shitty rapper with no flow or wordplay.

Both Unleashed and Colors as flagship games featured very little of the musical stylings of the DC era. Whatever it this project is, it's going to be interesting, whether it's merely a musical throwback a-la Generations (for ASRT or SA2HD, as mentioned) or a 90' turn as to the musical aesthetics of the next major Sonic title.
