It looks great, and the following/followers is a really cool idea.

Xbox One's New Gamertag Avatars

That's pretty nice, clarity especially will be great on the pictures at that size. Though at the same time I wonder why so big if most of the time it will be a tiny box on the screen in the corner or seemingly some sort of square like in those pictures from the IGN article on a profile, and not actually a full 1080p image across the screen.
There's different types of friends, you have a 1000 typical friends limit like on 360 now, and there's a Twitter like system where you can follow and be followed without being actual "friends" which as far as we know is "unlimited" that allows for just following updates and progress but not for playing games with.

The irony is that you can still take a picture of yourself or whatever and use as a gamer pic (only your friends can see it though). However, for some odd weirdo reason, you can only do it with the now defunct vision camera. You can't do it with Kinect. With Kinect 2.0 being 1080p and all, it would be great if they brought back that feature.

There was a bit about followers in Destructoid's article:

Looks great
I got the impression this ins't an avatar from that IGN bit. They said avatars and gamer pics didn't he? Wouldn't this just be a gamer pic?

I like them.
Wonder how much money we'll waste on these next gen.

The second one looks awesome.
The other ones are meh.
Hopefully developers will add some awesome avatar rewards for their games
That's actually a damn good idea.
Just avatar poses. They won't be doing jpeg uploads for the reason you stated, offensive pics everywhere. It's sad because people would ruin it in the first day if they did allow custom gamerpics and not preset ones.
You know what, I actually like this idea.

Well, it was about time to change my epic Shepard gamerpic.

It was asked in the "AMA" and was ignored. I don't think they'll ever let you use your own content.

Really cool. But if MS charges the same per pixel as they did with gamerpics they'll probably cost around 10 bucks each. : /

You know they do that now right?
You can do it now on 360. You can have a gamerpic they only your friends list can view. The caveat is that you take it as a picture with the Live Vision camera.

Being completely honest with you. No, I didn't.

Have they always exposed the player reputation rating like that?
I'm going to miss my Burnout Paradise gamerpic - had it forever and still think it looks fucking great.
These aren't too bad, though. Also, I truly am worried about the rep system getting abused. On LIVE people always leave crap feedback if they lose. Heck - I got mic banned once and I don't even use one; nor do I have a kinect that intercepts ambient sound.

Very nice indeed.
JPEGs IGN? Really?
Bad players should be labeled "Dicks"

Lets see if the rep works this time. They attempted this with 360 but it didn't turn out so well.
Looks great
One Haters gonna hate
Agreed, I still play it to this day! (gt: NEVERISM) *hint*hint*
On-topic: Time will tell if/when I upgrade to da bone but these are pretty slick!

I've been rocking my Seriously achievement gamer pic since I got it way back in the day.
Can't wait to upgrade.
Nostalgia edit:
man Gears of War 1 multiplayer was the fucking shit. So good.

hopefully reputation actually means something this time around
Do we know if Sony is doing the Follow model as well cause that would be really smart. They increased the Friends list to 2000, but that still manes the people who I would want to follow are not going to accept me. Those people will have tens of thousands of people who want to be friends. Really weird that they wouldn't considering how into Twitter they are.

I remember really wanting to get that achievement but I stopped after a few days, lol.
I always liked all the cool gamer pics. I remember I found a website that had a TON of them in a archived file pulled off the server but that was in 2008 or so and I can't find that site anymore. I just want to archive them.
That IGN AMA has gotten better and better as it has gone along. Questions like this are exactly what I want
Finally!!! I hope PS4 does this as well. Keeping track of everything especially later on when we start to run out of space is important to me. Having to scroll through those garbage download lists sucks.
and this
My weird ass Nintendo and Steam addiction will now be on the Xbox!

Lol, yeah I remember that. I was so excited back in the day about doing my own personal images for my gamerpics and shit--you know just like my own flair type of deal. Then I saw the number of gamerpics they wanted to sell and I knew they'd never let us upload our own ala Steam. I remember when the vision camera came out and they said we could use a picture from that if we wanted...the only downside is you had to buy the vision camera.
I hope PS4 does that as well too.
Like just go to the Games tab and it shows you everything you own, whether it's installed or not, would be amazing. Just go full on Steam style for that.
It'll be useless if its like on 360, where it resets to 0 if you lapse your Gold subscription, even for a day.
Edit: It pauses, doesn't reset!
It doesn't lapse, it just stops the timer I believe if your account goes silver.
It doesn't reset. It pauses the timer until Gold is re subbed.
Really? Awesome, I had heard otherwise. I stand corrected.
I'm currently back on Silver, will resub once GTA:Online is up, but having it read 0 instead of 10 at the moment is unnerving.

I hate the current avatars and was very pleased when it was rumoured they weren't returning, but this one looks great and actually makes me happy they aren't getting of them...
