Forums - Microsoft - A quick look at Avatars

Wait...Miis have emotes? damn...guess I need to go mod my Mii on the kid's Wii...lol. The only thing similiar between avatar and Miis is that it's not more exact replicas like Home characters. It's absolute BS to say it's a RIP-OFF of Miis...bull$hit! I'm looking at the damn Miis right now, and it ain't doing all of that stuff? Looks more like the Sims to me, if anything...like nintendo made the damn "avatar" idea, what a bunch of crock! Like Apple raves about creating the mouse...lol.

Avatars are going to be fully integrated into the XBL experience, imho, and in the coming years, it's going to get even deeper and more pervasive into the XBL experience.

Wow, the first part reminds me of Mario Galaxy, when you're trying to choose a galaxy :S

This is what Mii's should've like; we need more features.
Liking the interface of the Xbox360 though.

I like the style... looks good. The whole overly cheery emote thing is a little weird, though. Trying to win the "casuals," eh?



I like the new interface. Can't say the same for the avatars. They look a little too Lego for me.

Damn you forgot one thing, the easiest thing to do, is to copy someone else's idea and improve it and then sell it as something different, and that's what MS did with avatars. If you dont see resemblence with Mii's or with it concept then i dont know are we looking at this same thing.



Next up... Master Chief Party.
