E3 '99 Trial Prototype & Knuckles' Alternate Dialogue

This is a video an English prototype version of Sonic Adventure that was shown at an E3 convention in 1999. This prototype was dated June 8, 1999, several months before the game's (and the Dreamcast's) December 1998 launch date, which dates after the Japanese version's release, don't expect to see anything massively different in this video.

Actually, this prototype overall is not very different from the final English release except for one notable, yet cosmetic difference: Knuckles sounds different in this version. He's apparently still voiced by the same VA, but his voice just sounds gruffer and deeper. Details are explained in depth on the video. In the form of annotations. If you aren't the patient type, just skip to 4:39 for the alternate dialog already.

In the later half of this video shows Knuckles' prototype voice samples that exist inside the contents of the disc. These were ripped and discovered by a Sonic Retro forum goer named evilhamwizard [1].

For the record, this trial release was part of drx's release thread on Retro, which can be found here: [2]
