"a complete lack of an option for players who use inverted controls."
WTF? This is fucking 2011, Ubisoft.
There goes any chance I ever had at buying this. I hope you enjoy all that money you saved by not enabling one of the most standard settings in all of videogames!

Lol fucking Ubisoft. Can't they just patch that shit in? Definitely. Will they? Almost certainly not.
uh... no. if a game won't let you customize aiming controls, i won't get it. i've been playing inverted forever. not being able to invert basically renders the game unplayable for me.
No co-op? Not even splitscreen? Thank God I never got rid of my copy of Chaos Theory, because fuck that.
Lack of coop modes is pretty bummer. =/ Lack of options is just a shame. Karatomaru will have a field day with this, as Ubisoft can do no right to him.
Also, I didn't picked up armored core 4 (or whatever one was released this gen) because I couldn't find a way to invert the controls in the demo.
DAMN YOU ZELDA

Inverted controls are not a big deal with this game. You're not flying a damn plane. Up is up, down is down. It's not that hard. It's not like you're really doing any rapid shooting. You can sit and aim pretty slowly since you're usually sneaking around.
As far as co-op and multiplayer, that is a big blow for fans. It was never a sure thing, but there you go. Now it's confirmed that it's not coming back.
Personally, all I really care about is Conviction 2.

Meh, I still love it.
Removing the features was a dick move, but they weren't features that I ever used anyway.

up isn't up if you prefer inverted controls. if your natural inclination is the opposite it can be terribly frustrating. i've tried playing standard but i always end up aiming the crosshair or camera exactly where i don't want to. this lack of a feature is a deal breaker.

Backwards to me is playing uninverted. What happens when you push up on the back end of a camera? It tilts down.
I could give a shit about inverted aiming, but why take it out? Like, any reason? No...no....no...there....no.....there can't be a reason. I...I don't get it.
Inversion control is such a fucking simple feature that it's mind boggling why you wouldn't put it in.
Instead of registering pressing up on the joystick as +1 units or more on the y-axis, you simply count it as -1 unit(s) on the y-axis.
It's really basic programming, and obvious evidence of a lazy cash-in.

Actually that's if you push forward, not up.
I say fuck the inverts. The real loss is the co-op and multiplayer options.

I fail to see the logic behind inverted aiming, wouldn't it just be like a simple "reverse these inputs" kind of thing? it's not like it'd be difficult, or costly/time consuming.
While the others suck, it seems to happen a lot with the remakes so it's not insanely surprising.
Now where is my crimson skies HD remake!? I demand one!

Strangely enough, I don't remember Zelda Oot back in 98 being the reason I used inverted aiming. I'm pretty sure Goldeneye was what made me start using inverted aiming. I've never gone back and I've always hated the lack of options for inverted Y aiming.
Even games from that era had the option of inverted aiming and camera angles, so Ubisoft is really lazy and dumb for not including the option.
I rarely game on a controller these days, but I can't help but use invert when I do.

welp I play inverted so this isn't gonna be a buy for me, and I was actually thinking about it after enjoying the hell out of conviction recently.
No co-op, no sale. As simple as that.
I was seriously hoping for the DLC Chaos Theory maps, since I missed the download window for them on Xbox, and that they'd include them along with the ones that came on the original disc. Why are they(Ubi) so messed up in the head?

Please, it's a lazy HD remake like most of them are, but Ubisoft couldn't go down with such a modest level of douche, so they axed things to make sure they still keep that engraved "King of the douches" crown.

Someone please smack Shinta for me please. Yes we know you love whiteknighting anything sony or sony exclusive to the death. Relax your DSLs please.
Inverted control is as natural as being right/left-handed. Those who use inverted, including me, can't handle non-inverted control; it's like trying to drive a car with your feet, upside down. Might as well control with oven mitts.
That said ubisoft and sony have just alienated half of the potential costumers of this. There should be a policy where publishing a game requires an inverted option, but apparently a significant portion of the gaming community is unimportant to Ubisoft and sony.

No inverted controls renders the game basically unplayable for me, and even if it was in, removing the co-op from CT is just ridiculous.
Already got the xbox version of CT off Live, so that will have to be good enough for me. No way I'm touching this lazy HD money grab.

Man I been a inverted player since the very first timesplitters...I simply canīt play any other way...

"Up is up, down is down. It's not that hard."
For some of us (read: a lot of us), this couldn't be further from the truth.
I literally CANNOT play non-inverted without having to force myself to think about every single movement. It's just the way my brain works.
And the simple fact that inverted aiming has been around since the god damn 90s means there is no excuse here. It's just fucking LAZY.

They better have this at Red box though! I'll rent it in a heart beat! Single player is still good and I'd play them again, but they're not worth $40.
@Mr Andy Dixon: I agree, it's super easy to put it in there and it should have been in there. I'm just kind of surprised that it matters that much, but I guess I shouldn't be. More options is always a good thing.
Yeah... no. Fuck you Ubisoft. Did you people forget how to make a good Splinter Cell game after Double Agent? Or do you just enjoy killing off a game series that was once so unique and original?
Count me as another person who was considering buying this game until this piece of news released. I instinctively use inverted aim and it's incredibly difficult to play without it. I could even fix this with an input inverter, and I haven't programmed a computer since I dropped out of Software Engineering four years ago.
Since joysticks were out, I was accustomed to flight controls, and this translated into me playing only with "inverted" look controls. It was a natural transition for me, so shooters of any type that purposely leave out this function have no place on my hard drive or game shelf.
Was it Golden Eye that I picked up my tendency toward inverted aiming? My GF and brother both use non-inverted, but I always thought that inverted was standard in the 90s. Maybe it was just Nintendo?
Wasn't going to get it anyway, but i'm disappointed in ubisoft for such a slapdash approach to what should be a celebration of one of their greatest franchises. Also, I love my inverted controls, and it drives my wife crazy.
To anyone that thinks this isn't a problem, turn inverted on and see how easily you adjust. That is the same problem people who need it would have.
