Genesis x360a Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hey folks, I've just seen this post over on Facebook from Xbox UK and they've posted a picture of the rejected LE Controller Designs... I personally think all of them are better than the design they ended deciding on. I would of dropped my £40 on the controller if they decided on the Puzzle Design. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/picture.php?albumid=1527&pictureid=15383 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takamura Bear Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The rejected designs look waaaaay better than what we have now. Not a good decision on their part. And the Classic Lara version... oh my. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuShNsTieN Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The classic Lara is ugly (imo) i like the relic and puzzle though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rep Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I still like the design that they decided on the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMBO1 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I like "Puzzle" and the chosen design, but the "Classic Lara" an the "Relic" just seem meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jswartz0181 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 If those legitimately were designs that were rejected, and not just something some fan came up with, the right decision was made. The rejected ones all look awful, while the chosen one actually fits in with the game! And there is absolutely no way the classic Lara one would have gotten approved anyway. I kind of doubt Microsoft would approve a design that had you effectively playing with her nipples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relics and Puzzles have been a staple of the Tomb Raider world/universe since Tomb Raider so I don't see how they don't fit in with the game.... And yes they're legitimate designs, the picture was posted by Xbox UK on their Facebook page. Its not a Fan made page. I can see why the Classic Lara one wouldn't have been approved but the others are good looking designs which fit in more than a bandage around one of the grips imo.

Nozza Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Puzzle version looks nice. I agree though the classic Lara is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBuzz7S Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Any one would be fine. At the end of the day, the controller is not going to be used anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyTheAlmighty Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The one they chose is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis x360a Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yes, but not THIS game. 3-4 of games achievements are tied to finding Relics, so yes relics are still a staple of the TR franchise and I will state my life on it that there are tombs and puzzles in this game. Tomb Raider wouldn't be tomb raider if they got rid of the puzzles and tombs. So again the designs fit perfectly with the game.. Just saying.

jswartz0181 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Of course, the relics are nothing like what they've been like in previous games. They aren't fancy, bejeweled, shiny objects. They're real-world archeological artifacts. For example, one is a mortar and pestle. Not exactly the kind of thing the relic controller reflects. And don't expect the puzzles to be elaborate mechanisms a la previous games (in the style of the controller) either. Again, the game is more real-world than previous titles, and those complex cog mechanisms are a thing of fantasy, not reality. So again, for past TR games those controllers may have worked, but not this one. The designs were rejected for a reason.

d0ct0rscarecr0w Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 While it has little to do with the game as far as I can tell I like the relic one for how it looks. Would probably get it just as a controller. I'm not sure if I get what is going on with the puzzle controller, why is the right joystick detached? and what is with the other gear? And the Classic Lara is just silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOOKH8R Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The puzzle one looks like that steampunk modified controller that's been making the rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barad Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The puzzle ones best. The main one just looks like the LE red chrome controller with a few scratches and a bandage attached to it lol not impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTGMx INF3RNO Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I think the one we have is the best. The puzzle is good aswell. The others I'm not too keen on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralGranko Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 The puzzle one is interesting a little bit, better then that were getting, but in overall, I don´t like any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
II Mortis II Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Classic Lara controller is pretty funny I agree with what you said about the puzzle design and I would also be more inclined to dish out £40 if they decided to pick that one. I don't want to spend so much on a control that looks battered and fixed with tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdSpider72 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I actually like the red and white controller......but that's because I am a huge Van Halen fan and the controller reminds me of Eddie's 5150 Frankenstein guitar. I fixed up my GH Les Paul to look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alec_006 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 i'll probably grab that controller, all mine are just plain white so i need some variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanStimo Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The puzzle one has no sort of connection to Tomb Raider. Would be good for another game. (I see that i think Little Big Planet). The relic look way too bright and silly. The classic suit also looks silly. I dont even like the one they chose. I would have prefered a logo or a side on view of lara on one side. Like the cover of the box art. http://cdn0.spong.com/pack/t/o/tombraider381625l/_-Tomb-Raider-Xbox-360-_.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
