    I like how your critique of the tree section holds up well.
    Sonic frontiers completely shits on that level. Showing all they needed to do was have you hit a switch and have a pulley pull you up to where you fell off. Much better idea than a dumb respawn button

    In regards to the voice acting, my favorite thing about it is Sonics voice.
    Like every bad creator, the games director would put down past or similar works, only to never be able to back up their shit talk and look like a punk-ass. He says Jason Griffith was terrible and was basically "this is how its done," however, the voice of Sonic may vaguely sound like Griffith, but his performance ends up being every exaggeration people make when they say they dont like Jason Griffith as Sonic, but completely unironic.

    My biggest issue with Omens is simply how it completely fails to design its stages around the Infinity engine. The engine from what i gather feels at its best in wide levels with losts of free space. Doing a basic spectacle game with wide levels would be best for it. Kinda like the first few sonic stages in Omens. The engine DOES NOT do well in closed in areas. Tight platforming is a massive issue with the free flowing and floaty controlls of the engine. The tree is the perfect example of this. Its missery mostly because properly landing jumps is so hard.

    Not so fun fact: Egg Dragoon used to be harder. They had robots running around and hitting you the whole time. Also the Respawn button in earlier demos said "Just kys" and if I remember correctly Chris' model is just an edited Sora model from Kingdom hearts. Might be wrong on that one. Oh and 1:05:35 funny typo. The subtitles are **supposed** to say "Good luck out there." but they say "Good luck out their" which I found pretty funny. Oh and they must have fucked the camera on the funny "Consider this your last Omen!" cutscene because in the trailer for the release it was normal? Also when they added Super Sonic it made the stages piss easy since you start with full boost and you only need full boost to activate it so lol

      As a game dev you sometimes get headaches over bug reports from testers with an issue that you can't replicate on your own PC which makes you have to figure out what is different between your machines for that to happen, and you just can't have every brand and type of PC available for you to be able to catch all of the bugs that appear on PC types you don't have access to for testing

    Yeah, I do agree with the issues with Shadow's Chaos powers, even in games like the modern Tomb Raider trilogy when you switch between Lara Croft's weapons using the D-pad, they always show a sub-menu of the weapons and variety options for them locating in each part of the D-pad, making the switch easily visible. You wanna switch to Lara's bow? Go to the up D-pad. Switch to Lara's shotgun? Go to the left D-pad. It's that easy and simple. I don't know why they couldn't just set up Shadow's Chaos powers this way. Also, there are a few continuity issues with the plot of the game. Like the fact that this game clams that both the Chaos and Master Emeralds are fully destroyed, even though there's the DS version of Sonic Colors where the true final boss is the Nega Mother Wisp as Super Sonic and the Mother Wisp shows up a lot as cameos like in Team Sonic Racing. It's like the people making it doesn't consider the DS version to be canon and only thinks the Wii version is the more canon version.

The style switching there is pretty simple but not only consistent with the previous game (as in trickster is on the same dpad direction) but the UI also shows pretty well what style you are on and has the starting letters of the styles aranged like the dpad.

    Honestly Sonic GT completely destroys this game. The only thing that Omens does better was the looks and length. I have no real stake in either one's story or voice acting (because I have a stupidly high bar for voices) but while GT has a very simple story only there to drive you forward if you take even a little closer look into Omens it literally make 0 sense and is so convoluted it's no wonder that it's hidden behind unlockable. Speaking of those the collectibles for GT were super fun to find and actually gave something to care about and the radar as more incentive while the red rings in Omens were basically the same as generations which is fine but not anything new. It just really feels like Omens doesn't have any passion and was just bloated out because of how much they wanted to cram in just because it was a cool reference. Omens barely gives any room for skill that even trying to jump over platforms or short hop on to them is just impossible because of the engine. If there is anything to take away from this, go play Sonic GT, I know it doesn't look the best but man it feels way better than this one.

    I know I'm like 6 months late, but honestly everything about this was spot on to the flaws of Omens even if I kind of have a guilty enjoyment of the game on its own.
    I will forever defend Exiled though, I admit he isn't on par with actual Sonic villains, but man his design is cool, his voice is cool, his boss even if it's shit to play in, is still pretty badass with Weight of the World blaring in the background which is one of my favorite songs ever ngl. Could've been alot better if he wasn't tied to this trash and used to make a Metarex.
    I admit, I love its idea of a large arena to boost in as base Sonic to build up energy for either an attack or to become Super Sonic with fuckin energy slashes and tracking beams. The way the boss proper was handled flubbed it real bad but the core idea is legit one of my favorite ideas I wish more games could take a try at.

    They screwed this up so damn bad it's HILARIOUS!
    Talk about the worst execution I've ever seen in my life.

    Here’s an idea on how to improve Shadow’s chaos power controls: on a console controller, holding the left bumper grants access to his four chaos powers; for instance on a Xbox controller, A for dash, X for spear, B for control, and Y for blast. I would also remove the free-aim of chaos spear and give it its own separate reticle to automatically target buttons and enemies when holding down the left bumper. That’s how I picture the easiest way to control Shadow’s powers, but others may have a different control scheme.

    You brought up a lot of points that I had as to why I disliked this game, and while I noticed some continuity issues with the story and plot, you noticed SO much more and honestly it made me hate the story even more, but I am so glad you brought these points up. As someone who has never watched much of Sonic X, I thought the Metarex where just robots, I didn't know they weren't so seeing how they were supposed to look in comparison to the Exiled, really goes to show how much the devs cared about that portion.
    Anyways, this is an amazing video that I had a blast watching, great work on this!

      Honestly,the fact that Omens is even a finished product shows that at the very least the team had a somewhat realistic idea of the scope of what they could handle which automatically puts it ahead of most of these unreal demos.
      Cryzenx's ocarina of time remake has supposedly been in development for an entire decade and is just barely past the point where you meet Zelda.Even then, this is with fanboys on his patreon literally creating assets for him. Nintendo themselves will likely remake this game before this or most projects like this ever reach an even remotely finished state.

Hey, I can appreciate Sonic 06 more because, while it is buggy as hell, At least one can put up with it the whole way through! To me, There is nothing worng with walking and talking.

The only reason it’s free is because Sega threatened to sue them as trying to make a profit off of licensed work/ IP that isn’t yours, is illegal. That were all this “harsh” criticism is coming from.

    After playing S.A.2, that game was overall fun, minus it aging, enemies coming out of nowhere to hit me, Gamma’s & Chaos, ghosts and I guess the rail mechanic.
    Still that game was pretty good, I liked all (minus Kart racing) stages.
    I liked the speed stages, the mech stages are really good (imo Hidden Base Zone is the best in the whole game), treasure hunting is fun to see how fast I can try to beat it in only 2-4 minutes.
    They’re most simple, at least to me, I understand the movement of the characters, their abilities and such, and learned the level design.
    I didn’t like most of Rouge stages, but liked her 1st and last level, but when trying the once I didn’t like, I started to like them.
    But this sounds like no matter how many times I’d play this, I would never like it.
