To the people who prefer the y axis be inverted I have one question: who hurt you?
Elder millennials and cooler gen x's grew up on Goldeneye 64, y axis inverted
I’m in this comment and I don’t know if I like it.
But holy shit I guess you nailed the source of my inverted controller usage because I played the crap out of that with my little brother.
Don't forget pilot wings!
It was Starfox.
Grew up dreaming of being a pilot. Pull back to yaw up.
First games that were flight sims did so. So now it’s just what I’m used to.
Yeah it was always a reference to flight controls. But in the 80s and 90s, even 1st persons would take that approach.
At some point it was inverted by default.
Think of the stock on the controller as a head with your hand on top. If you pull the hand back, in what direction does the eyes move?
Except you're wrong. The controller is on the BACK of the head, you know, where you're looking. So both x and y should be inverted. Anything else makes 0 sense
Wait. Are you not supposed to?
Duke3D. That's where it started.
I know someone who had both X and Y inverted, on his computer mouse.
Wing Commander, Commanche, MS Flight Simulator, and various other games
The original Rainbow Six had it like that by default and now 25 years later it’s here to stay.
I used to hate inverted as a kid, but a few games had them by default and my brain switched and could never go back. I'm playing Outer Wilds now and I had to immediately switch it.
