I hope they have Avatar clothing drops with certain Xbox Achievements like they did for a handful of games late in the 360's cycle. Even though I was never super into Avatars, I appreciated getting extra loot with a cheevo.

I seriously can't believe I'm actually excited about avatars.
These look great. Can't wait till this hits PC.

These look pretty cool. My daughters are going love making theirs. And making my wife and I make ours look silly.
Well, they look way better than the last time they teased them. I probably won't bother doing much with mine, not like they're going to be showing up all over the dashboard again or anything, but they look good. RIP my Needler pro though, assuming none of the old stuff comes forward.
The animation, on the face especially, is great. If you said this was from like Disney's GC studio or something I'd totally believe it.

Well hey, that's cool. I dunno how they're gonna integrate Unity into the existing apps on Windows 10, but that's not my problem. Can't wait to make a monstrosity with whatever tools we're given!
And this makes me glad I didn't bother buying any outfits when I found out the avatars existed

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
Really great design aesthetic and customization options.
If the actual avatars can match that level of animation quality I'll be doubly impressed.

Users aren't actually going to be coding these in Unity.
Everyone's avatar will look this good. You customize it and dress it. You don't actually code it.

Others have said it too but this bears repeating.They look great

New avatars look great. Bring back 1 vs. 100
I am well aware, but I doubt they have a working editor for end users if they're not coming for another 6 months. These have probably all be hand made, basically a vertical slice.

So they're going to release new avatars...and give people no way to customize them. Right....
These arent going to be available for another six months, at least. Chances are everything in this trailer was done in a professional CG program like Maya or something, and the end product isn't going to have animation and modelling as smooth as this. Especially if this is for Windows 10, where it has to work on low-spec machines as well.
Yeah. Shaping up nicely
Basically this, where did I say users would have no way of customising them? I'm saying these avatars have been pre-made as vertical slice examples, I doubt user created ones will look this good.
I at least hope I can make one with dem hips.
They've had an editor in testing since February or March. I posted about it back then: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=232440412&postcount=43

These definitely look fantastic. Has a Pixar/Disney look to them. The animations are really great as well. I wonder who made these avatars? Was it Rare again?

Seemed like this Avatar got a stylistic/technical upgrade to...
But at the same time as releasing this video teaser of the new Avatars, this can be found in the promo pic of the Avatars on the Xbox One X product page.
from
The 2 Avatars w/ gradient hair in the pic on the left are in the same vein as the really nice ones seen in the teaser w/ higher geometry, more detailed texturing, better lighting, etc.
So bullshot? Why are those two different styles in the same pic that was just released? Which one are we getting?
I hope the promo pic released is just inaccurate and we're getting something like the trailer.

They look very good but the problem for me is the exposure. In the 360 you have your avatar in the start screen or when you join a party you see the people's avatars. In the xbox one they are hide and only if you see the profile.

I wonder what happens to existing clothing that's been paid for on 360?

Very cute.
I'd be surprised if the final product looked that good.

Exactly this, the trailer avatars look far too good I don't believe it. The one in the promo image looks more realistic and it looks quite poor, if they're advertising that at the same time as the trailer I have doubts.
I really hope we end up being able to make Avatars that look like the trailer though, they look amazing.

I'd settle for the styling to be consistent with that, even if the technical quality isn't quite there. As I said in my post above, I'm confused about the strange disparity in styles shown in a single promo pic released today.

Eww...ok this makes me skeptical about avatars actually looking good.
Ha yep, back to being skeptical.

Comparing the original avatars to Miis is excessive, as a matter of fact they're still closer to the new ones than to Miis.
Also yeah, that blue-eyed avatar doesn't look as good. Part of it might be in the lighting too, maybe the rendering won't be the same whether your avatar is rendered in the dashboard/a simple app, or in a full game (I guess the reason they stressed out the avatar was made with Unity was because devs will be able to use them easily in games).

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
Dun worry built in unity so 24fps on Xbox One X
These look amazing, im just wondering....WHY?
Don't think I've ever checked out my avatar on the X1. Pretty sure he's still rocking that LE Alan Wake jacket/gunslinger hat/ and Fable eye cloth deal.
That looks kind of good tbh.Very cute.

This is great. I hated how for some reason avatars never really had good graphics, now they look how I would expect them too.
Yeah, I was surprised. As long as 'the pose' is gone, I'm interested.
OP! update your post with the video link?
