Board 8 > Regular or Inverted Controls

(+) Yeah! (+)

Been a while since we had one of these topics I think

For me it's Inverted for Controller and regular for mouse and keyboard

---

always inverted except in very specific situations like the older hitman games I have to do it with regular controls

---

Inverted for controller almost all the time. Regular otherwise.
---

Regular most of the time, inverted for flying.

Inverted Y axis
Regular X axis

Inverted Y for as long as I can remember

---

Can't remember which one is which

---

i need inverted X and Y.

very annoying when a game only offers one of them.

always regular x and y

Inverted y-axis.

The combination of Descent and flight combat sims is responsible for that.

---

Situational. I invert the y-axis when I'm playing on a controller and the camera is first-person. Must meet both conditions.

---

Inverted y except when on a mouse

Inverted x I am not sure I even understand bit Dels is not the only person I've known of that wants it

---

I feel like inverted x makes more sense for like, a 3D Platformer because wasnt 64s inverted

---

Inverted Y on a controller for camera & first person view/flight
Uninverted Y for third person flight or using a mouse
Uninverted X at all times

Actually, with third person flight, that may only apply to things like Star Fox style corridor flight or Sin & Punishment style shooting gallery stuff, where it's more like positioning yourself onscreen as you automatically fly down a set path. If it's free-range flight I think I still invert Y in third-person.

Inverted X and I don't know when or why this switch happened for me but I can't go back to regular X anymore >_>

---

I used to be inverted Y until Detroit of all things. Since you're more tilting the camera than rotating it vertically, inverted never made sense there. Then I went back to other games that I had played inverted and discovered myself to be constantly messing up.
---

The correct way.

Non-inverted of course.

This, because some games have inverse labels for them too.

I like to push up to look up, push right to look right, and the like.
---

I invert Y typically, but I have a tendency to not notice in games that don't have twitch aiming, I think.

I can't deal with just inverted Y. Either both for third person or neither for first person.

I want to point out that every one of these polls end with inverted being around 40-45% but you always have people who cannot fathom playing inverted and think its an anomaly

Depends on the pivot point for the camera...

Yeah cause it's weird.

this is one of those things that like double joystick movement has really eliminated. You kind of instinctively know based on your camera choice what's going to happen when you move a joystick a certain way if the game is designed well.

IMO this is more of a mouse thing and for first person flying things I prefer inverted.

Regular everything

I have finally convinced my husband on regular controls. (we had this exact debate last night, he tried inverted and was like "huh, I used to like inverted" and promptly switched to regular)

Tell that to pilots.

Would you argue the same for the D-pad?

yes in games where you are using it for y-axis movement

It was inverted for a long time because most games were inverted controls by default during the PS1 and PS2 era but now it is regular camera controls all the way for me.
