De tot nu toe redelijk nutteloze Xbox 360 Avatars gaan voor de release van Kinect een redesign krijgen. Want ze lijken niet helemaal lekker over te komen in de aankomende Kinect games, en krijgen daarom nu een wat meer realistische look.

Rare has told OXM that avatars will be redesigned for Kinect.

Nick Burton, senior programmer at avatar creators Rare, says that they'll become more realistic and will essentially be 'Avatar 2.0'.

The proportions will be made more realistic because hand-eye co-ordination broke when using the old cartoony proportions - not in terms of hardware but rather, player perception.

That's all we know for now but expect to see the new avatars around Kinect's launch.
