"The key lies with @madeon. Good luck."

Music related? Hidden game announcement?

Edit: Inverted colours with full text:

 

[Camjo-Z]

I seem to recall a tweet where Madeon expressed his love for Sonic Adventure 2 and the Sonic Twitter said they should work together on something.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

That's the artwork to his debut album, but with Green Hill Zone.

Gimme that anniversary announcement.

 

[Vanethyr]

That is some excellent album art.

Sonic Adventure 3 confirmed. To just be branded Sonic Adventure. Sonic told me himself.

 

[random25]

The first 5 words of the message in the picture seem to read as "the secret is inside the..."

Haha...dunno.

 

[Tizoc]

Sonic Adventure 1 could really go with a remake IMHO.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Sonic Adventure 3 confirmed. To just be branded Sonic Adventure. Sonic told me himself.

Check your PMs.

 

[Piers]

So to finish this ARG, we have to flood @madeon with questions regarding Sonic

 

[petethepanda]

It looks like:

I shit my pants a little when I browsed quickly to the bottom and saw the red bish and green quote lol.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Holy crap I was just thinking about that Madeon Sonic tweet that happened a while ago.

Confirmed

 

[WPS]

I think the next word is Empire? The secret is inside the empire?

 

[Finale Fireworker]

I shit my pants a little when I browsed quickly to the bottom and saw the red bish and green quote lol.

Lol - sorry. Maybe I was too close to form. You better be able to prove that you really know Sonic!

 

[AAMARMO]

 

[L1NETT]

I seem to recall a tweet where Madeon expressed his love for Sonic Adventure 2 and the Sonic Twitter said they should work together on something.

for reference here is his debut album artwork

(edit beaten)

so probs a madeon remix thing

 

[Vigilant Gambit]

Most likely, this is saying that he'll be playing/officially remixing/sampling Sonic music.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

And this is why I appreciate GAF knowing more about music than I do.

 

[TVGamer]

I think the next word is Empire? The secret is inside the empire?

Yeah, it says the "secret is inside the empire, we can get it back". Maybe Madeon is composing music for the next game? Or remixing a few songs for the 25th anniversary? Either would be really cool.

 

[BiggNife]

I'm assuming this is some kind of Madeon Sonic remix album in honor of the anniversary

I would not get your hopes up for this being related to a new game

 

[wetflame]

What's the text under the "We can get it back" line?

 

[TheDinoman]

Brace yourselves, brace yourselves...

 

[ArchedThunder]

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that he's going to do the main vocal theme for the next Sonic game.

 

[Icyflamez96]

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that he's going to do the main vocal theme for the next Sonic game.

That'd be awesome. Anything that this could possibly be would be awesome, lol.

 

[BiggNife]

What's the text under the "We can get it back" line?

It's too light for me to make out. I think you'd need to put that through a photoshop filter or something to read it.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

It would be cool if Sonic Adventure 3 was a thing, or ports to PSV/WiiU/PS4 since I don't have my PS3/GC hooked up. Feel nostalgic for it after watching the Conpletionist videos.

 

[HaRyu]

The picture still has some message to it...

The last row says "Add The Numbers"

 

[Geek]

HELLO HUGO
THE SECRET IS INSIDE THE EMPIRE
WE CAN GET IT BACK
THE FATED SON OF DAEDALUS
ADD THE NUMBERS

 

[TheCongressman1]

Very interesting.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that he's going to do the main vocal theme for the next Sonic game.

I hope so. Never heard of this artist before now, but they're good.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

What's the text under the "We can get it back" line?

Two lines of it in fact - one immediately below, and then one at the bottom of the picture.

Edit: Thank you Geek, if correct

 

[Hasney]

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that he's going to do the main vocal theme for the next Sonic game.

I have no idea about this dudes music, but if his fave game is SA2 then he should clearly cover City Escape.

 

[Kouichi]

HELLO HUGO

damn this new Sonic game sounds intense

 

[Funyarinpa]

It won't happen but I'd definitely buy it for Vita.

 

[ChaosZeroX]

Hopefully Sonic Generations 2

 

[Snarfington]

It's probably more red herring stuff, just playing on that his album is called Adventure and that they've interacted before.

I'd love to be wrong though because his music is pretty damn cool and he does have a history of being featured in games (most notably PSASBR iirc).

 

[xzeldax3]

I am always up for some sweet Sonic remixes. The Generation ones were so damn good.

 

[nikeboy94]

Guys I inverted the colours and changed the saturation of the image. There's more text.

Edit: Nevermind seems like Geek has got the full message.

 

[TheCongressman1]

damn this new Sonic game sounds intense

The shame of all this hype is that it will be just as lighthearted and painfully unfunny as it can be.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

HELLO HUGO
THE SECRET IS INSIDE THE EMPIRE
WE CAN GET IT BACK
THE FATED SON OF DAEDALUS

The real Demon Sonic starts here.

 

[WPS]

HELLO HUGO
THE SECRET IS INSIDE THE EMPIRE

THE FATED SON OF DAEDALUS
ADD THE NUMBERS

Dang, ninja'd. What I got agrees with this stuff though.

The letter K in this font looks a lot like several other consonents, so I kept thinking "ok, next ones K - oh god damn it Ruby if this starts talking about knuckles wait nevermind".

Edit: OK, Daedelus is from Greek mythology, he had a few sons, most notably Icarus.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

Announce the new game already lol

 

[WhoaIsThatMars]

Cover/remix album

 

[C.Olimar788]

Gosh, all this ARgame shenanigans has me unexpectedly excited. I hope we actually get a new, good Sonic game this year, whether it's Sonic Adventure 3 or something else.

 

[Son Of D]

I'm assuming this is some kind of Madeon Sonic remix album in honor of the anniversary

I would not get your hopes up for this being related to a new game

Probably this.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that he's going to do the main vocal theme for the next Sonic game.

But this is a possibility as well. That or he's doing official remixes for a Generations-esque game.

 

[Sylverstone14]

HELLO HUGO

The son of Daedalus is Icarus.

So maybe flight is linked to the new game?

 

[shotgunbob04]

Sonic Dancers coming to PS4 XBO PC and mobile this May.

Spoiler

hopefully just a remixed Sonic soundtrack

 

[Regiruler]

Guys I inverted the colours and changed the saturation of the image. There's more text.

Apparently we have it covered:

HELLO HUGO
THE SECRET IS INSIDE THE EMPIRE

[JonnyDBrit]

Thank you, and added to the OP

 

[Icyflamez96]

Announce the new game already lol

I was about to come in here to say i'm tired of this Sonic talk, just announce the game, but I'll let this tease slide because it's hype
