Poll: Inverted or non-inverted?

[Cowabungaa]

Non-inverted. I never understood inverted for anything but flight-sims. Up = up, down = down, why change that?

 

[DareArkin]

Non inv for flight controls and shootin' alike.

 

[DYin01]

Up = Up sounds logical to me.

Well if you're playing a FPS it's like looking through the back of their head - right stick up moves the head up and moving it down tiltes the head down - simple.

Non-inverted all the way

I usually play non-inverted, with the occasional exceptions such as Goldeneye, and the first two Metroid Prime games.

When I've had to play with inverted in the past I get used to it after some time but it still doesn't feel quite right. Non-inverted makes more sense, if you tilt your head down in real life then you look down. Where's the logic in inverted controls?

 

[NeoDeath90]

Non inverted. It seems more natural to want to look down while pressing down.

 

[Johnn Johnston]

The logic behind inverted is the following:
Tilt the stick forward to lean forward, and backwards to lean backwards.

Of course! I wondered why it just felt more natural, and it's the tilt of the head. That's been bugging me for ages.

Not inverted. I move up to look up in reality, so why shouldn't I in a game?

Mouse.

 

[Rad_Brad]

Non-Inverted

 

[Kajt]

Non-inverted usually, although I use inverted for vehicles.

 

[Sixties Spidey]

Sometimes inverted, mostly non-inverted. Non-inverted doesn't screw me over a lot though.

I used to play many flight sims but didn't have a joystick I liked, so inverted mouse controls on PC flight sims, non on everything else.

Inverted... The way i think about it is... when i push my head forward, i look down and when i pull back, i look up... I mean hardly ever you are holding the controller in a position where you are actually pushing "up" as opposed to "forward"

You make a good point, but I still prefer non inverted.

I have always done inverted but my girlfriend likes non.

 

[Clirck]

Non-inverted beacuse i hate flying games because I have never played a decent flying game, tetris ftw !

 

[xLANKYx]

inverted for realistic flight sims but non-inverted for everything else.

just to add, in 3rd person action games where you control the camera such as left sends the camera right & right sends the camera left....WHATS ALL THAT ABOUT.

IMHO theres no exscuse for not haveing fully custom control options in games nowadays (or the last 5+ years) , otherwise your just creating a barier between the gamer & the game, which is never a good thing.

I made the transtion to non-inverted when I got Xbox and Halo. Before that, all inverted with 007 and Perfect Dark.
