Xbox Wireless Controller - Gears of War 4 Crimson Omen Limited Edition

Product Information

For people to actually get tattoos of something that you made on their bodies is the most flattering thing. Both the triggers and bumper buttons are metallic in appearance with a mixed pattern of black and dark burgundy, and these certainly add to the overall quality of the appearance. The heavy use of the A Button was a criticism of Gears of War, with the specific complaint that it was easy to pop into or out of cover by accident, particularly for new players. This controller definitely has some aesthetic design/thought to it and it certainly has brought up a great conversation when people see it.

Using the app, each of the controls can be assigned to whatever you wish and then saved as a pre-set to ensure you feel as comfortable as possible whilst playing. The main functions provided by the controller don’t differ to that of the last year’s Elite, however you can’t take away that those functions alone are certainly rather impressive. On the back of the battery cover sits the latest of the Gears medals, which adds a nice change to the overall dark tone of the controller.

Firstly, not every game responds as you would expect – shooting titles such as Battlefield 1 struggle when firing specific weapons to the point that some simply won’t fire at all, until the lock is taken off. In combat, pressing the "B" button will put the squad in a defensive mode where allies will stay in cover and try not to expose themselves. The biggest part that popped out at me were the claw marks that run diagonal through the X/Y/B/A button area. But before those now interested in this fancy bit of kit run to grab the cheaper option, let me tell you the Gears of War Elite controller may be the most beautiful controller ever created. For those that care as much about the extras as the item itself you certainly won’t be disappointed.

The B button is also used in chainsaw duels, where whoever presses the button the most wins the duel. It is generally a strike with the butt of the currently equipped weapon, although the Lancer Assault Rifle's Chainsaw Bayonet is activated by continued depression of the B button. If the weapon does not have a special finisher, the player will then attempt a hand-to-hand normal punch or kick.For those already pleased with the previous slogan on the D-Pad, note that the lower part of the thumb-sticks harbours the message ‘WELCOME HOME’ which can be seen when moving the left stick upwards. The colors are deep, the D pad has this metallic red with a big black thumb print on it, the rest of the controller has a slightly rubberized feel to it, though it isn't quite like that super grippy stuff you get on the elites or the full custom controllers. For example, the Longshot Sniper Rifle is held by the barrel, swung round, and brought down on a downed opponent's back. Two pre-sets can be assigned to the button, however more can be saved via the app and assigned whenever you feel like it. For example, it is used to select the direction in which the player rolls, jumps, or moves from cover.

The only thing missing is one of the domed thumbsticks but I don't use them anyway so no major loss.The X/Y/B/A font is custom, the buttons and text are black, and then you've got the classic gears logo in black on the far left of the controller. Being Gears of War themed this option does of course, like the rest of the controller, come designed in epic Gears of War fashion with each of the in-game weapons pictured in the correct positions on the circular option. With Gears of War 2 came the addition of unique weapon executions, some of which the B button activates.

It is slightly more grippy then the black controllers that came day one, however I suspect it will wear down smooth with years of use like the other ones. Speaking to ComicBook, Bleszinski said the Gears franchise needs a reboot similar to what God of War had recently with its 2018 game. On the front of the controller, sitting in the middle, is the final button not included in standard controllers. I like to eat prime rib steak and sushi sometimes, but you just want to know that your work makes [an impact]. Meanwhile, racing titles such as Forza Horizon 3 found reaching top speeds taking longer than when the full pressure of the trigger is available.

Whilst many were quick to question just how real these were upon the initial announcement back at E3, they are indeed no sticker and are instead engraved through the face of the controller…and my god they are stunning!
