Gaming - Do you invert? - View Post

to those who say inverting is logical

if y axis is inverted, and not x, (or the other way around) then it has no logical bearing at all. You can't say they are controlling the camera, or any other point of view.

If both are inverted, then it is like controlling a camera in a 3rd person view (camera rotates up, view tilts down). Or another way to think about it (in a 1st person view), is when you move the joystick you are moving the back of you head that way. Now, this isn't 100% logical. When I "think" about moving my head to look at something, the last thing I do is think which way does the back of my head have to go. I think which direction is the item of interest (to my left?, move head left!)

So, saying those who don't invert are illogical doesn't really make sense, as it really just matters on the perspective you take. In reality, it probably has more to do with the first game you played and which way stuck.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
