Right on time for the release of Fallout Season 2, Xbox Design Lab has churned out a new Fallout-inspired controller. This time around, Xbox has gone for a Pip-Boy design, and I can see what they were trying to go for. The Xbox controller as a whole looks kinda like the display on a Pip-Boy, but what it really looks like is Vault Boy superimposed on a gamepad, and it is haunting.
I think his neon-lined face being almost forced between the various options buttons is what's doing it for me. It makes his patented smile look forced, and the whole thing is oddly expressive - like he's poking his head through prison bars to make a plea for release. Anyway, if you'd like to grab what could surely turn out to be an Xbox fan's collector's item, this design of the Xbox and Xbox Elite controller is available now.
