Do the physics absolutely ruin this game?
I've never played Monkey Ball for any decent length of time, but my friend got me excited to try this game, I went to buy it and just saw people talking about how the physics arn't the same and because this is Steam I can't tell if this is overblown or not, can anyone who's put in a decent amount of time let me know?

The Physics are new but not too different from the originals supisingly. I am still able to do most of the movement tricks from the original in here, and there are even new ways to approach some levels. The only thing you need to consider is A. The Diagonal inputs are pretty weak and B. Switch from circle dead zone to square dead zone for some more control and plus the old games used a square dead zone anyway.

IDK how bad it was in original but everytime you move the monkey the camera moves, so it's hard to do some of the difficult balance levels. I'd say the majority of the game is playable fine, but some things are annoying with current state. At least by comparison of some reviews and posts from people I see.

you get used to the new Physics tbh, and once used to them its not that bad.

althru all i wish they is a classic camera setting. lowkey having harder time to control the camera w/ keyboard.
than used to be on like dolphin to play custom levels

btw any good controllers to use was thinking to buy a GC one and usb thingy.

gc one is alright, but it has those indents for the analogue stick, which is GOOD for vertical movement, but VERY BAD for turn control.

use any controller, and change the deadzone shape to square

I`am not sure why they can`t simply add the original physics as an option.

because 1:1 replicating physics in a different engine is extremely difficult

Couldnt they simply make the tilt function faster and I guess remove the scripting from the mini game ramp ? Would of thought that would mostly be some editing maybe.

For the main game, the physics feel almost the same to me as the originals, but the minigames I've tried feel like garbage compared to the originals.

Bought it, game feels fine for me, feel free to keep talking tho lol
GamerXT Oct 11, 2021 @ 3:45pm 
It isnt about if the gameplay is still good, and more about the original level skips that are mostly irrelevant now.

Also could say it`s now more easy due to the slow table tilting.

edit

There`s a mod now than increases the table speed like the original.

in party games, you really are gonna feel it, but in the main game, no, it's fine.
