LOL, true.

For PS3 (and 360 equivalent) I'd choose;

X - Jump
O - Slide
[ ] - Grapple
▲ - Interact


L1 - Draw weapons
L2 - Manual aim
R1 - Throw Grenade/Flare
R2 - Shoot (aiming like in classic TR's)

LAS - Move Lara
L3 - Reset camera
RAS - Roll (Like GoW/heavenly sword)
R3 - Crawl

Directional buttons control camera. (would work as long as the camera isn't glitchy)
Select - PDA/Journal
Start - Menu

[michaeldt]

(X)-Jump
(O)-roll, crouch, take cover
([])-enter melee combat when next to an enemy
(/\)-interact, pick things up
(R1)-shoot, press first and hold down to take out Bow and arrow
(L1)-Aim, hold down to equip the machete
(R2)-stealth mode
(L2)-sprint
left analouge stick- move around, push down on the analouge stick to zoom the camera in
right analouge stick- move camera, push down to zoom the camera out
(up)-inventory
(down)-take screenshot
(left)-health pack, press gently for small and hold down for large
(right)-hear lara's thoughts
Start- Pause menu
Select- quit to menu

Run = Up Arrow or D-Pad Up, Press forward with left or right to move in that direction.

Hop Back = Down Arrow or D-Pad Down

Turn Right = Right Arrow or D-Pad Right, Hold to pivot on the spot.

Turn Left = Left Arrow or D-Pad Left, Hold to pivot on the spot.

Walk =R1, Used in combination with the direction keys for slower movement. Lara will never walk off an edge, though she will run off. It's also handy for areas with spikes, broken glass, barbed wire, etc. Lara won't take damage if she WALKS through these.

Jump = Square, Makes Lara jump straight up. More complex jumps are covered under combo moves, below.

Sidestep Left/Right = L2/R2

Roll/Reverse = Circle, Lara drops to the ground and comes up facing the opposite direction.

Draw/Holster Weapon =Triangle

Action = X, Actions include firing weapons, picking up objects on the ground, using switches, keys, puzzle items, etc. (Also used to make Lara grab in certain combo moves, below.)

Look = L1 + D-Pad, Look (labeled "Ins" on some keyboards) shifts perspective to what Lara sees. Hold Look while pressing directional (arrow) keys to look in different directions.

I've tweaked mine, slightly. Would anyone else care to give us their ideal control config?

I haven't changed my mind too much since I posted this in another thread a few years ago:

Also, I would make all of these the default controls but with the option for the player to remap it on all platforms. Manual grab and interactive shooting (once for every bullet) would be optional. Swimming controls would be like the classics, except the speed-up feature would be included. Movement and Camera will be character oriented with follow camera by default.

PC

W,S = move forward and backwards.

A,D = strafe left and right.

Mouse left and right = turn Lara and the camera left and right.

C = toggle free-rotating camera which would be moved by the mouse (makes movement controls WASD camera-oriented, each corresponding to a cardinal direction)

Z = toggle manual aiming mode for the guns (controlled by the mouse)

Left Ctrl = walk (which prevents Lara from going over edges)

Space Bar = jump (hold down for longer, higher jump)

Left Shift = Crouch/Roll (jumping from a crouched position lets Lara jump higher)

Left Mouse Button = Action (interacts with items, shoots if guns are drawn, and serves as manual grab if the player selected it and has guns holstered)

Right Mouse Button = Sprint (pressing it while running results in TR3-style sprint. Pressing it during other activities results in speeding up like Legend/TRA)

Q = grapple

F = draw/holster weapons

E = Reverse Roll

X = Display HUD

Tab = inventory (if not combined into the menu)

Esc = Menu

Cycle Mouse Wheel = cycle through weapons

Click Mouse Wheel = grenade

R = flare/PLS

V,B = medipack shortcut keys

PlayStation

Left Analogue Stick = movement as follows: pressure sensitive, so pushing it lightly will walk and heavily will run. While walking or running, the stick will turn Lara left or right if moved to the side. While standing still, the stick will turn Lara if pushed lightly to the side, and Lara will strafe if the stick is pushed to the side heavily. Running (or jumping or swimming) forward and then suddenly and sharply pulling the stick all the way back will result in a reverse roll.

L3 (click Left Analogue Stick) = Toggle free-rotating camera (controlled by Right Analogue Stick) which makes movement camera-oriented (Left Stick moves Lara around on the screen in whichever direction it is pushed)

R3 (click Right Analogue Stick) = Toggle manual aim mode (controlled by Right Analogue Stick)

X = jump (hold down for longer, higher jump)

L1 = Crouch/Roll (jumping from a crouched position lets Lara jump higher)

R1 = Action (interacts with items, shoots if guns are drawn, and serves as manual grab if the player selected it and has guns holstered)

Circle = Sprint (pressing it while running results in TR3-style sprint. Pressing it during other activities results in speeding up like Legend/TRA)

Square = grapple

Triangle = draw/holster weapons

Select = Display HUD

Start = Menu (including inventory)

D-pad = cycle through weapons, use medipacks

R2 = grenade

L2 = flare/PLS




In addition to all of the acrobatics from Legend and TRA, I'd include monkey swinging, crawling (faster than the classics, though), and AOD style climbing (without a strength meter). Monkey swinging and climbing would be done by pressing the action key near the appropriate environmental areas (hold it if manual grab is on, otherwise press it again to let go). Crawling would be done by moving while crouching with guns holstered (with guns drawn, pressing crouch while moving will do a dodge. She can also shoot while crouching).

Anyhow, I probably forgot some things but I think they could be worked into my control scheme later once I remember
