Additional control settings in the console versions of BioShock Infinite
Console versions of BioShock Infinite have additional control options. The most important ones are:
- Control Layout - You can change the default control scheme.
- Invert Controller Look - You can flip the Y-axis when looking around (tilting the right analog down will cause the camera to move up).
- Controller Look Sensitivity - This setting determines the camera sensitivity. Move the marker to the right to increase the sensitivity; move to the left to decrease it. Increase the sensitivity if you feel that the character is rotating too slowly and is causing you problems with aiming.
- Aim Assist - you can enable the aiming assistant. It will be locked if you choose the highest difficulty setting - the 1999 Mode.
