Xbox ‘Avatars’ details leaked
Joystiq reports that a “trusted source” relayed information on a new detailed “avatar” customization that Microsoft is readying – they look very much like a cross between the already existing Nintendo Mii and PlayStation Home custom avatars.
Here is the text from the above image which was submitted by X3F reader who took an independent survey by Intellisponse for Microsoft-
“Avatars” are digital personas available this holiday for all Xbox LIVE connected members and this spring for all new console owners. ”Avatars” will be used in place of the gamer picture you have today and give you a much more lifelike, animated, and fully customizable persona for you to reflect who you are online.
In case you missed something from the supposed Intellisponse survey leak (via NeoGAF), here’s what was scavenged.
- ‘Avatars’ to be Microsoft’s answer to Miis and Home
- First video of Silicon Knight’s Crucible: The Evil Within
- Forza 3 to require 2 DVDs, ‘over 400 cars and 100 tracks’
- Guitar Hero 4 priced, new touch-sensitive guitar
- ‘Lips’ is Xbox 360 karaoke with wireless mics, store, DIY tracks
- Powers & Titans – multiplayer superhero game for 360, PS3, PC
- Spider-Man vs. Marvel Zombies creeping to Wii, 360, PS3
- Tony Hawk to get board peripheral on 360, PS3; new Spider-Man to use Wii Fit board
- Ultimate Band coming to 360, PS3, works with Rock Band instruments; new trailer for Wii
- Xbox Live getting massively competitive social games – Jeopardy, Millionaire, etc.
We should expect an official announcement from Microsoft at E3 which begins in one month, July 15th- July 17th at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
