Need Inverted Controls Option

[WabbitTwaks]

Ya know, I understand the frustration... but calling people names? Is that really the way to get something done? :/

I can't beat the shit out of them, so this is the least I can do lol

but I edited and removed some names. They should have disclosed this information on the item description, so we do not buy something that is incomplete. This is fraud in my opinion. And the problem is that I can't return this POS for a refund.

I'm adding my voice to this request. I purchased episode one on XBLA and have found it to be barely playable due to the lack of an inverted Y-axis option.

As a long-time inverter, this is how I see it... if you want me to look down, you push my neck/head forward. If you want me to look up, you pull my neck/head back. That's how I use the mouse to control the avatar's view.

Exactly. For those who just don't get what we are complaining about, just go try to cut your hair on the back of your head by yourself with your left hand while using a hand mirror pointed at a wall mirror. Now imagine that instead of having problems going left and right like you do in the mirror, you have issues doing it up and down.... All while trying to position a cursor at the right spot to bash a zombie in the face with a hammer. It's just not fun. Or try this: go get in your car, drive out to a busy, narrow two lane road put the car in reverse and try to drive down the correct side of the road, backwards doing the speed limit while only using the rear view mirrors. Seriously, that is what it is like for some of us.

Any word on a patch? Can it even be patched? XBLA customer.

It definitely can be patched. The question, is whether they do it or not.

A similar situation happened with the HD remake of the Splinter Cell Collection last year. They finally patched in an invert option after getting a lot of grief. The funny thing about this one, was the old Splinter Cell games these were remade from actually played DEFAULT with inverted controls, and had an option to turn "normal look" on!

Yes just signed up to add to the feedback as to the need of inverted controls. Loved the game and was able to manage but would have been much more comfortable using inverted and I am to a bit surprised that option was not available for this game. If they were in a zombie apocalypse they would want to be comfortable. If I wasn't so damn hooked I would most certainly threaten to not buy another episode, but well shit the best I can do hope is their asses are eaten first in a zombie apocalypse since they will be getting my damn money regardless.

[Vercingtorax]

Wow, what a bummer. I was so excited for this game but absolutely can't find enjoyment in a game on normal. It's just not natural for me.

TellTale, Please fix your game. I want to enjoy it and buy the other episodes. I won't if you can't fix this problem.

Thanks

Add me to the list. I managed my way through it but it would have been a little better if it would have had the invert option.

[thall4u]

What the FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFFFF. its 2012 and you dont have the option to put in the invert. Were you guys smoking the kronik. seriously how is there not an option to invert. I buy the game totally pumped, now i cant play. bad marketing boys. had 4 boys watching and now there not gonna get it cause there is no invert, did i say there is no invert for the controls. boooo hooooo on you guys. seriously how do you make a game and does not allow the option of inverting the x and y axis. so sad. you really could of had a winner here, even myself, if i was making a game would of said, " hey boss. theres no invert. what gives, you should put that in the game". if he says "no". poop on his desk and quit, you guys are boneheads, might be the worst desicion made in a video game. except for the first racoon city, which the controls were totally unbearable. come on patch this//////////////////////now

[mauler1]

Could I add my vote to this, just finished episode 1 and yes it's such a pain without invert option.

I wonder how many people died first time trying to line up that shotgun, only to escape and look for invert option and then found this site looking for a patch.

[paultriv1986]

Telltale - I too have joined this just to post this message. Please allow inverted axis. Your game is all but unplayable for me like this. I died every time I had to do anything!!!

I will not be purchasing any further episodes until you release a simple patch to fix this.

Someone from TELLTALE should have the decency to post a quick reply to this thread to confirm your position.

What's so hard in moving your mouse to the left and assume that the camera/character/whatever moves to the left? is it so so damn difficult?

Though stop posting mean posts and suing on telltale,they did a great game,yet you are being mean because they forgot to add invert mouse option...
Maybe they were focusing some other aspects of the game,or were too busy fixing the telltale client problem?
It's like flaming at someone who had made a great cake,but forgot to put the cherry on top of it.
I scrolled lots of posts in this thread and was suprised,because i saw so many people who even threatened them ( fix it or i no buy next episode or game) Maybe threatened isn't the right word but you get my idea.

Could we now calmly solve this with a peaceful manner?
I am sure that when they have the time,they will add this option for you guys

I still feel that labelling it 'inverted' still sounds wrong. It was like that for decades with joysticks! :P

Adding my voice to this. Playing episode 1 on PS3 and it feels like I'm trying to play it drunk. Made me crap myself with the first zombie encounter though because I ended up scrambling all over the place. :P

[waki]

I would like inverted look also. It's just natural for me. Died several times by the first zombie. Just not fun this way. Glad I just paid for first episode on Xbox. Will not play again until patched, and will most likely erase.

[Revington]

I too have signed up just to add my name to this "good god, please make this adjustment" plea.
I spent 20 minutes going through all the options over and over again, assuring myself that something as common as inversion couldn't have been left out of a game this talked about without SOMEONE mentioning it in a review.
I hope this thread has at least been noticed by soemone at TellTale.

[Sander001]

I just played through the demo and registered here to lend my voice to this cause.
Definitely no sale for me and I'll be remembering Telltale as 'The game company that doesn't care about old school gamers who like inverted controls'

The joystick was made as an imitation of an airplane's flightstick and aviation has been around for more than 100 years now, time to catch up.

[Sargash]

Feels weird to play without it...

[hoot]

It looks like this game could be a lot of fun but this Y axis issue makes it frustrating and unplayable to me. I'm glad I only paid for the first chapter, I won't be buying any more unless this is fixed.

I've played nearly all TTG games since they started years ago, and while the games themselves were good, they have often been marred by little annoyances like bad audio quality for voices or lackluster settings screens which don't provide all the essential settings which just about any other game in the market offers (though they've gotten a bit better in this department lately, just not good enough, it seems).

In this case, you can fix this problem with a $10 third party tool called XPadder:
http://xpadder.com/

With that tool you'll be able to reconfigure your gamepad to your liking (ANY gamepad, not just the XBox 360 controller; I don't know why every developer now assumes that PC gamers will only use the 360 controller).

I know we shouldn't have to spend extra to fix a problem that shouldn't be there to begin with, but at least there's an option, and that program is worth every penny, not just for this game, but for a lot of PC games which do not have proper gamepad support, since it allows you to configure your gamepad to press any key in the keyboard, or mouse button, or simulate mouse movement with the sticks. It works great every time (I don't have any affiliation with the author of that program; I'm just a happy customer ).
