Whose (360) Avatar is actually going to look anything like themselves?

O_o

You want your character to be an achievement nerd who comes from behind a stage, walks down a ramp whilst music is playing?

Then walks into the ring and... STONE COLD STUNNER... STUNNER... STUNNER... As Gawd as my whitness he's broken in half!

I like the idea that future games you can unlock clothing accessories for your Avatar. They is rumours that GOW is gonna be the first game to do this, offering a Gears of War clothing outfit for those who 1000/1000 it.

TGS 2008: Avatars Required
Don't want to create a cute representation of yourself on your 360? Too bad.
by Ryan Geddes
US, October 9, 2008 - Part of Microsoft's push at the Tokyo Game Show this year has been the so-called "New Xbox Experience," which is another way of describing the Xbox Live Dashboard overhaul scheduled to go live on Nov. 19. And Microsoft is so excited about the Avatars portion of the updated service that it plans to force all users to adopt one of the cutesy, non-threatening personas.

In a meeting with journalists at TGS this week, Microsoft's group product manager for Xbox 360, Aaron Greenberg, said all users will be required to choose an avatar as a visual representation of themselves when they boot up the new dash.

"We're forcing you to have a visual representation of yourself," Greenberg said, when asked if he thought hardcore gamers would be put off by the requirement. "But you can make a pretty badass avatar."

Mine is. My daughter loves making Mii's so she'll love it when the 360 has me, my wife and her on.

Why not? That's no more ridiculous than having a small characateur of yourself running around games with other people's characateurs while being called noob and having the numma numma song sung by people who just can't let go.

Doesnt that mean you have to make one but can still use a gamerpic?
Either way I'll prob. use an avatar. I'd like face recognition on the avatar with the vision camera though.

Wasn't gonna create one before, might have sold me on it now. How hard could it be? Bald head, Black wasitcoat, trunks and shoes, goatee.

I reckon it will be funny to see how stupid you can make them look.

I have made some Miis that look like retards

Well they are supposed to look like you.

When I had people over playing a bit of Wii sports one of the most amusing parts was making a Mii of them before we all played. Unlockable clothes would be amusing.

lmao, i was going to say that!

 

[ic1male]

I'm definitely going to have the biggest belly I can seeing as I look like Onslow from "Keeping Up Appearances"

I wont be using one.

Like all great user generated content, someone will work out how to have their avatar resemble a giant penis. I will use this as my avatar, as a kind of silent protest.
