the problem with stuff like the wheelchair is that it seems less likely that people who do actually use a wheelchair will be like "wow i sure love being confined to a wheelchair in real life, so much so that i'm going to put my virtual avatar in one too!" and more likely that other people are going to be like "haha dude look at my gimp avatar lmao!!" i don't really see why people are complaining about the style tho, they just look like some generic 3d animated movie type shit and i think they look much better than the old avatars, which also had very limited customization

Does this mean we can have a repeat of the terrible kinect foot reveal, except this time it will be a wheelchair bound pregnant robot woman
some of the characters in the video had weirdly fucked up proportions, like that muscly VR guy, but aside from that they look to me like modern Pixar/Dreamworks characters. Making your character pregnant is a little weird, but w/e, overall I think I still like these better than the discount miis.
I mean, it's better than discount Miis, I suppose? Who was asking for this, anyway?

I just want to keep my Alan Wake's American Nightmare clothes from my old avatar
[QUOTE=SlickBlade;52370125]The blond girl in the dress with the bionic arm, there's already porn of her. Most of it portrays her as a trap. Nice.[/QUOTE] people were very vocal at the fact she looked like she was designed by shadman, I'd assume he'd have capitalized on it instantly I don't mind the change/upgrade to the character stuff though, besides adding a billion store items they've remained pretty unchanged since the 360. Granted, that's working pretty well for miis, but yeah
This reminded me how much I liked the avatar version of the 360 dashboard. The Xbox One's dashboard is so sterile and confusing in comparison.

why do all the remotely muscular or chubby/fat avatars look fucking weird? thunder thighs [t]http://i.imgur.com/8TJ5LM2.png[/t] thigh gap but for guys? [t]http://i.imgur.com/4zSNmeU.png[/t] what's wrong with your everything [t]http://i.imgur.com/DYhQJK1.png[/t]

[QUOTE=Luni;52369777]It is truly a magical experience when you can go to a random Katy Perry video and scroll down and see people yelling at each other about Nazis But really, would you have it any other way? [editline]17th June 2017[/editline] oh jeez the old ones looked kinda neat, simplified but still expressive, and these look like high-poly IMVU rejects[/QUOTE] Those pictures are also a year old, you can see the wheelchair dude in the trailer (although he's not in a wheelchair this time) and he looks significantly better. Personally I like the new avatars although I don't even own an Xbox anymore so it doesn't matter to me.
They look, acceptable I guess. I think the biggest adjective I'd use to describe the new avatars is 'focus-tested'? It looks as specifically designed to appeal to what some executive thinks millenials are like.

it's like they are designed by an alien that has never seen a human before, but has had them explained to them in 20 minutes\
Jokes aside - I might be in the minority but I actually like the new style. My only concern is how the old Avatar clothes would carry over. This feels more distinct and original, whereas the OG Xbox Avatars felt like an imitation of Mii.
[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;52373087][I]This is the future Liberals want[/I] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qijrvX9.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... and my arm... even my fingers. The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our past.
Some of these look okay, honestly - the side-cut blonde robot sundress chick just looks like a cyberpunk Disney/Pixar knockoff. But the body proportions look fucked on the majority of the other ones. The only other one that looks semi-normal is the bearded beanie guy near the end. Should just let people choose between the old avatar (to keep old cosmetics) and the new one (for greater customization in the future).

It's been so long since I used my 360 that I forgot all about all my avatar stuff. I used to hate the Xbox avatars and much preferred Miis but both are much better than these. Pretty poor design imo, more simplistic avatars work best
say good bye to the Sonic 4 eggman clothes

[QUOTE=Johnny Joe;52373537]wait til you see her arm in action [sp]MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE[/SP][/QUOTE] oh please, do tell. :smug:
Last time I checked, my avatar on xbox 360 was wearing a Hatty mask from Battleblock Theater, a YOLO t-shirt (ironically), and had a goofy animation of him flying in a fancy jet, chilling in a hot tub, and getting showered with money.
