Armored Core 4 - can't reverse the Y-axis -wtf!?!?!

RaMDOM · 29 Jun 2007 at 23:33

I can't believe it! I have looked everywhere on the options and in the instruction book, and cannot find a way.

Can it be that there are devs out there stupid enough to not include this nowadays?!?!?!?! Unless someone can confirm that you can change it somehow then me thinks that this one is getting a trip back to the shop.

I simply can't believe it. This game would be right up my street online if you could reverse it, but I will never ever ever get used to it un-reversed. It is just totally against my instincts.

This is not good; I really fancied this but as you say, no y-axis reverse, no go.

*SHUDDER* Reversed is horrible

Can't find anyone else on the intarweb complaining about this so it makes me think that you must have missed it somewhere.

Are there any options to set a custom control layout, I know there are schemes A, B etc...?

I just can't play games with 'normal' axis, I have to use it reversed, I guess it goes back to my quakeworld days.

I was going to try this too, think I will just rent it now..

I have looked high and low in the options and no where is it obvious. the options are not that extensive so it is not likely that it is/should be, that hidden. There are only two button options, like you said; A and B. Thought one of them might carry the option, but no.

Sucks - really sucks. Would have been ace online.

Still find it hard to believe you cant change it, but if you're right then it does indeed suck :/

RaMDOM · 30 Jun 2007 at 20:42

gonna have another look tonight, however I spent about half an hour looking before. Half an hour I would expect in setting up keys for a PC RTS or MMO, however for a console game it shouldn't be that complex.

I will post my findings however, don't hold ya breath. If in the mean time anyone else find it then let me know.

....... might contact the devs and let them know of their carpness.....

Have you tried changing it using the guide button?

If you click on you gamerscore then chose 'Game Defaults' you can change the Y-axis in there.If the game doesn't support that though you are screwed.

I was the same when Graw came out as it didn't support southpaw.Such an easy thing to change and there was loads of posts about it on the official forum but nothing was done about it.I had to learn a new control method from scratch.

It shouldn't happen in this day and age. :rolleyes:

Cheers mate will try that. Didn't know you could do that. Ta.

If I knew you that it was the 360 version you was speaking about I would have mentioned what i-bert said.

Tried it - doesn't work. Will be contacting devs to complain and generally expose them for the out of touch morons that they are. Harsh but fair.

I say now - for such a frantic game; if you are used to having the stick inverted then do not buy the game. It renders it broken imo.

lol, completely random... I always play games inverted... Not really sure why. Wonder why this option isnt in, surely it would have been suggested after testing.
