Inverted Camera Controls: Do you?

[Zenimus]

After stumbling through Ghostbusters and now the Mini Ninjas demo, I'm frustrated that not all 3D games allow you to fully invert the (X & Y axis) camera controls.

Vertical inversion is usually included, but not horizontal.

How do you guys play?

I'm not flying a damn plane.

 

[SpamYouToDeath]

For a while (back before mouse control was the default setup) I played inverted-Y. Now, completely normal. Except when I'm flying something.

I never invert the camera, feels very unnatural for me.

 

[fenikso]

Invert that shit!

 

[Kristian Meller]

If there's no option to invert the X axis I'm fucked. This will probably be the reason I won't get in to Fable II; I just can't get used to turning the right stick the way I want to point the character I'm playing, instead of turning the camera, as I see it. I can't for the life of me remember what I do with the Y axis; there wasn't much of that in Persona 4 I guess.

after some time for adjustment i can play with any given controls.

I think there was a study that found that people who don't invert their camera controls have homosexual tendencies.

N-G forum needs math help

 

[Ancient Flounder]

I always invert the Y axis. Just feels natural to me.

multiple choices don't count. say if somebody voted two choices he is just one voter!

 

[Mike Shagohod]

If I'm not "flying a plane" I seriously won't even bother playing any modern video games. I have to push down to look up and up to look down. It doesn't feel natural to press up to look up, I dunno why but it doesn't.

depends if its first person or third person.

Good point. Therefore....

1st Person yes, 3rd person no. Unless it's something like Max Payne where you have a cross hairs slightly in front of you, then I need to again be inverted.

That doesn't explain the percentages, though. 111.1% total?

If you don't invert the Y axis you're not a real gamer. I don't know why, but it feels right to me after my years of gaming.

Third person or first person should be the same. It's just when all I'm doing is controlling the camera once in a while in a platformer like Sonic or Prince of Persia that I don't really care how it's setup.

 

[NeoSneth]

i normally can switch between them well.

Invert Y

My wife plays uninverted so it's a pain in the ass when we switch controllers.

 

[ki_atsushi]

I can't play shooters without inverting the Y axis. So used to that now that I can't go back.

 

[payment_due]

Vertical Inverted is the only way to play. Horizontal I can change depending on the gametype. But for shooters, flight games, etc... inverted is the only way.

 

[Darren870]

Always Veritical Inverted.

Though I can play both as I'm used to my friends passing around controllers and none of them use it.

I usually try to change it if i can though. Some games don't let you to change it when your in a match which just sucks ass.

 

[Yue]

Inverted is too weird for me. My friend was playing inverted and she lent me the controller and I was like "What the hell!?" it wasn't weird how down is up and up is down, but it was hard to move all around. If you wanna trick you're friends to losing, just mess with the inverted stuff.

Cool story, bro.

Inverting the X-axis is "queer"
