DigitalE Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Achievements are great and all, but progress marches on. Avatars may soon be the latest and greatest way for Xbox 360 owners to try and show off their sizable... skills.Speaking with Videogaming247, Rare said that special clothing and accessories for NXE avatars will soon be given out like achievements. At the moment, the only clothes are those available at launch and a few free packs. "We are currently working with multiple partners who have expressed interest in using Avatars," said Rare producer Stacey Law. Rare wouldn't divulge exactly which partners were interested in making clothing for avatars. But if this is all true, we wouldn't be surprised if, say, avatars toting Lancers eventually started popping up in a lot of profiles.

Corris Veteran Posted February 5, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'm surprised its taken this long for either Microsoft/Sony to do anything like this. Surely someone had suggested giving us something for completing there games, themes, wallpapers, music, etc. anything would have done. Ooh ooh and a Big Daddy outfit!And Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Gears, Fable outfits, so many possibilities! biggrin.gif *hands tissue* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted February 5, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 5, 2009 MS already give you gamer pics from unlocking achievements, and LE/CE of games (usually exclusives) come with themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 MS already give you gamer pics from unlocking achievements, and LE/CE of games (usually exclusives) come with themes. Very few games offer gamer pics for achievements, and LE/CE editions are more expensive anyway, so they aren't free. This is awesome. Just hope publishers are allowed to go beyond the childish plasticy theme the current clothes sets are stuck on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted February 5, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 5, 2009 I am aware, I've owned the console since day one :p I was letting Corris know that achievements unlock gamer pics and CE/LE's come with themes. Nothing wrong with what I said :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted February 5, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 5, 2009 Fair enough either way. But still, this should be in like every game evar! Though at least you get to choose your avatars or buy more. *mumbles about the lame selection on Ps3* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Good :) I recall saying they should do this when avatars were announced! +9 ego pointz for meh! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mystic MVC Posted February 5, 2009 MVC Share Posted February 5, 2009 Kind of cool I guess as long as everything is kept free and unlockable clothes for "reasonable achievements". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael1406 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 This would work as long as you are unable to purchase them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted February 5, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted February 5, 2009 Awesome (Y) This is one of the only reason I'd get interested in achievements [from day 1 I totally didn't care about a high gamerscore]. Just need Sony to do this as well with Home stuff and I'd actually give a damn about trophies as well. Better rewards like this are the way to do it :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
