The website of research firm Intellisponse has been breached and a heap of new video game info has come flooding out. Perhaps most interesting is the possible introduction of a new Avatar system for Xbox LIVE.
The Intellisponse website states: “”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.”
These Mii-alikes will be implemented into Arcade and retail game titles as playable characters. The Avatars will also be customisable with hundreds of clothing options, with further rumours suggesting the clothing items will be licensed.
Do you think the Avatars system is a good idea from Microsoft or just a downright copy of what Nintendo has done with Miis? Let us know in the comments section below.
