Liara T'Soni said:I actually like how these look...but are they too real for the audience they are going after to take note (If, for some odd reason, Microsoft even had a chance to attract that audience, which they don't, but lets not get into that).
I think that the success of the Mii's relies heavily on how cartoony they are.
Edit : Not to say that these look real. But, I mean, the way their arms are attached to their bodies and shit. They have hands.
GenericPseudonym said:Maybe, they'll turn the dasboard into like a house or area and your avatar will walk there and access stuff, turning the dashboard into a mini-Home (maybe they'll even try to copy Home and make it online).
godhandiscen said:Hopefully the dashboard remains the same. Fast and simple.

It's all becoming a full circle.
We also learned that Rare experimented with a wand type input device for gesture recognition (think Wii controls), but seems to have scrapped the idea for The Fast & The Furriest due to technology problems. It's possible we'll be seeing a special gesture controller, but not from Rare.

Sir Fragula said:Honestly, I thought the Miis were the best thing Nintendo did with the Wii. As long as this doesn't get intrusive, and doesn't screw around with dashboard load times, I can't see it being too bad.

jaypah said:link? source?
so.......is this going to be a part of "XBOX Live: HOUSE"? me thinks that if true these little guys need someplace to run around in. hell, why not allow you to make some cool game environment levels to have them run around in? yeah, and all the users could share these levels with each other. "XBOX Live: LittleBigHouse"...........catchy.
clashfan said:Oh ok, I didn't realize Nintendo invented virtual avatars...
Dever said:I don't really have a problem with them either... It's just that they're such a blatant rip-off of Mii's that would never have seen the light of day if it weren't for Wii selling likehotcakes. :/ They could've used the time and effort to make something more interesting and original instead of these Miitoos.free
I would have believed it if they gave you the option instead of replacing your gamerpic outright. XBL members would riot if their angsty avs were replaced by cutesy ones.MMaRsu said:Haven't been on GAF 1 day so I may have missed this but umm..

El_TigroX said:Don't be a dick. Miis are beyond just virtual avatars in my mind. They're integrated into the console experience, that's a first. Now, I'm not screaming "THEY'RE REVOLUTIONARY!!!!!!" But, they were the first in the console space to do that... that's leading the pack and not aping like Microsoft seems to be doing.

jonnybryce said:Yeah, because it's cool when Sony copies off of Miis / Second Life, but if Microsoft does it, "boooo!"
I think this is ridiculous, but I also think Home is ridiculous. This is not called for, and I like my gamer pic. We don't know what these will do, so I'll reserve judgement, but I'm disappointed in the route Microsoft seems to be taking.
