No Sonic Adventure remake, but...
Found this article about why there might not he a remake of said game.
"Sonic Adventure fans might not be happy to hear this, but there aren’t any plans to come out with a remake or remaster anytime soon.
Takahashi Iizuka, head of Team Sonic, was recently asked about revisiting the game in an interview. The takeaway here is that Iizuka believes it’d take a huge effort to bring the experience up to today’s “standards and expectations” – as much as a new title would apparently. Because of that, he feels working on a new game instead makes more sense.'
Iizuka has also shown interest in making Sonic Adventure 3. However, it’s unclear if that’s still something he’d want to pursue."- Nintendo Everything
I'm fine with that. If they choose to create an actual sequel to those games then there's plenty to speculate about than remastering existing titles.

There's already a remaster, it's called DX
What I want is new Adventure style games where I can play as Knuckles. The bonus content for Sonic Frontiers did make me hopeful (and I enjoyed Sonic Frontiers! It was not Generations-style, and had some of the all over the place charm of Sonic Adventure, plus I'm happy Ian Flynn is writing Sonic games now), maybe I will get more games to my taste.
But I have to point out, though, the source of this quote (which isn't linked in that article) is this video https://youtu.be/WVxhI6H5C_I?si=LHfjF6RxULu_98js&t=702 and the question is actually about Sonic Adventure 2. He also discusses the thought process with making Sonic games, meeting expectations making 2D, 3D and racing games and then also trying new things. So maybe we are due something new...
