Y-axis inversion is a deviation of 'standardised' camera controls for a game. Standardised camera controls normally have the 'looking up' control mapped to a mouse or controller being pushed forward. Y-axis inversion has the opposite action, where mouse or controller being pushed forward results in the camera being pointed down. This is also the standard control scheme for most flight simulators with joystick controls, and many PC gamers transferred this control scheme over to other games which involve any type of camera control (including first and third person three dimensional games). Therefore the vast majority of games have an option to toggle from 'standardised' camera controls to invert y-axis options. Invert y-axis is also known as reversed mouse or inverted camera controls.
Games Without Invert Y-Axis Option
- Spore - in its second stage (the 'tribal' stage), you cannot adjust the y-axis inversion of the camera control.
- Silent Hill: Homecoming - Steam version of the game is reported to have Y-axis inversion patched in.[1]
- Myst V: End of Ages
- Beyond Good and Evil - the option to invert the axis will invert-y, but also invert-x as well.
- Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones - reports state that whilst the y-axis inversion option exists in the settings, the implementation is bugged and has no functionality within the game.
- The Walking Dead: The Game
