Inverted controls on console a FPS?

Inverted on a fighting game? 

why would camera controls on a fighting game matter

hiro, are you retarded

[Hiro]

flight dumbass

oh lol
that makes perfect sense, as planes actually control like that

why would camera controls on a fighting game matter

hiro, are you retarded

thus the " "

okay someone posted the image, so i return with the perfect reasoning:



here's another way to think of it: your arm is the control stick and the gun is where it connect to the controller

when the elbow is up and the wrist is down, you're most likely pointing the gun downwards

[strongbad]

With that logic the x-axis should be inverted as well.

So that's what that burning sensation is in the back of my head whenever I look up or down in a FPS.

With that logic the x-axis should be inverted as well.

OMG PERFECT REASONING WE MUST FOLLOW THIS EXAMPLE OR HAVE PLASTIC JOYSTICKS TEAR A HOLE IN OUR SKULLZ

who says i don't have both axes inverted

But there's actually one issue with that: in  pretty much every FPS, the y axis involves only the player's head/arm moving to aim and moving along the x axis... turns the player's entire body.

Back to the lobby, please.

Oh I'm sorry, does my opinion differ from yours? I guess I'll just go back to playing my games and enjoy them while having a new one torn into the back of my head because of my non-inverted preference.

[KonohaShinobi]

Inverted for flying games only. Your brain must be backwards to use inverted for any other game.

[fox127]

I use inverted controls. I just can't work with non-inverted controls, I get confused for some reason.

Maybe I'm just a retard.

Fuck it I'll get into this debate because I have nothing better to do. I actually don't give a shit.

But your logic says that we should have it controlled as though our thumb is on the back of the character. Assuming the x-axis works the same way, by pushing the back of the character to the right, he should turn left, and vice versa.

How about this: what you're seeing is what you're controlling. Your thumb is on the back of the character's visor/eyes or whatever. By pushing up, the front of the face goes up. By pushing left, the character turns left.

Only for flight sims, man.

That picture still confuses me.

It shows the person pushing down and the face looking up, like an inverted control and the blood is there, but it's labeled non-inverted.

Push up Look Up No Blood	Push Down Look Down No Blood
Push down Look up blood	Push Up Look down blood

It really seems like the "inverted" and "non inverted" labels are screwed up and lawlz is arguing against his own point.


Notice how on the top, pressing up makes the head look up THAT ISN'T INVERTED.


edit: oh it is more of how you look at it. If you are imagining the joy stick as the base of the neck inverted makes sense but if you are using your thumb as such, the non-inverted makes sense.

JMV your post confused me 10x more than the picture did

Basically, inverted controls make sense in that screenshot if you view the "eyes" of the head as being on the bottom of the joy stick's ball.

If you view them as being on the bottom of your thumb then it's the other way around.

uh the picture makes it look like the stick is glued to the guy's finger or something but i can assure you it's supposed to mean the ball connected to the stick is rolling

when the stick is pushed upwards, the center of the bottom of the ball is pointed downwards

[Tomboh]

the picture has the right idea but its just the thumb image is retarded because the only time your thumb will be stiff is when youre pushing up on the joystick

it would look less confusing if the lazy fuck who made the picture bent the joints for when the joystick gets pushed down instead of just rotating a stiff thumb
