Microsoft Planning "Avatar 2.0" Launch With Kinect

[fo shneezy]

i hate how micro$oft is now bending over backwards just to please those casual gamer pricks, with this retarded kinect thing

 

[HeySeansOnline]

This proves my theory that Avatars are the missing evolutionary link between Miis and those things in Home, and you all thought I was crazy, especially YOU.

 

[Blind0bserver]

As long as my avatar is able to keep his comically beady-looking eyes and all of the special items that I've either bought or earned, I could honestly care less.

 

[Deef]

So what happens to any avatar items we may have bought?

 

[Thunderhorse31]

I like the avatars the way they are, except for the creepy asexual hip-holding pose that they do, regardless of your gender. My male avatar stands a bit, uh, strange.

I'm not trying to be sexist, at all, I just don't make a habit of cocking my hip or doing a pirouette when I'm happy.

 

[Legion]

As long as the avatar clothing/items are updated too so they fit I am not all that bothered to be honest.

As long as my avatar is able to keep his comically beady-looking eyes and all of the special items that I've either bought or earned, I could honestly care less.

Couldn't care less.

If you can care less then it means you care.

 

[tehbeard]

Show more screencaps, then i'll decide.

If I lose my avatar awards though I will be pissed, my recon/'splosion man/deathspank look is pretty dam funky.

 

[Mr Companion]

Well I look forward to this inevitably hilarious journey into the uncanny valley.

To everyone decrying the evils of Microsoft and Kinect over this:

SHUT UP.

We get that you're a raging anti-fanboy, but:

WE DON'T NEED TO HEAR ABOUT IT ANY MORE.

And before you label me a fanboy, I don't even have an Xbox. I just want the non-stop complaining to die "Human Caterpillar" style.

 

[ShoopDaToaster]

Mii anyone?
Kinect is still having a hard time actually having a unique idea.

 

[Mercesa]

Lol ^ Can't even agree more.

Grats with kinect the wii ripoff but perfectionized.

I bet he cares even less about what you just said, you know.

 

[T-Bone24]

They're all... shiny and horrible. I like my avatar just how it is, with a sweet hat.

 

[thebreadbinman]

i can see where they're coming from
the more joints the avatar has, they more fluid their movement,
makes sense to spruce up the faces while you're at it

however, I don't want an EXACT replica of me, especially when I'm creating one of the more... bizarre avatars.

 

[whaleswiththumbs]

It must be big difficulties trying to make them perform right with Natal.(i like this name better than "Kinect")

I really hope that it doesn't mean i have to redo my avatar, because that took a few weeks to get to look like me. And the hair still isn't long enough

This, clearly. Seriously people, it's tired, old and a waste of everyones time. Nobody wants to hear it, so grow up (because "shut up" has been said already).

Anyway, they're all just ripping off the Activator anyway.

 

[Cousin_IT]

so the cartoony cool looking avatars that I like playing with didn't work with Kinect , so they're replacing them with a creepy doll things that I have no desire to do anything with even if I was remotely interested in Kinect? Lame

 

[Zeromaeus]

Will I get to keep Duke Nukem's jet-pack?
If yes: ok then. Carry on.
If no: I need some gum...

 

[SelectivelyEvil13]

I smell a dasboard update like the NXE again... I hate that idea! It means more problems with Final Fantasy XI with the 360. Also what's wrong with the current avatars? I don't want an uncanny valley avatar staring at me on the dashboard and creeping me out. Kinect is becoming more evil by the second.

I was thinking this myself, it looks like another "New Xbox Live Experience!!!"

Ugh, I hated being forced to bother with some stupid virtual doll that I was never, and have never used. I often wonder if it was less to do with copying Nintendo and more about finding another way to drain people of MS points on something worse than wallpapers.

I liked my 360 better before it had an identity crisis, microsoft. I'm only thankful that my 360 hasn't gone through the team Jacob vs team Edward crisis yet.
