Xbox avatars going HD; 360 and One games to have separate Achievements
Chief Xbox One platform architect Marc Whitten told IGN that the company is upgrading Xbox Live avatars to allow for full-body HD gamerpics. In fact, the old 64x64 gamerpics are being ditched altogether in favour of a full-HD alternative.
“They are beautiful,” Whitten reckons. “You are going to see some really cool hero moments, like when you login to see personalized views of your games and other content.”
The exec also confirmed that Xbox One’s DVR functionality, which will constantly capture gameplay footage, records footage at 720p and 30 frames per second. This footage can then be edited and uploaded directly from the console.
There’s more too – Whitten has revealed that games released on both Xbox 360 and Xbox One will have separate Achievements on each platform. So for instance, an owner of both consoles will be able to buy Call of Duty: Ghosts on each and earn two sets of Achievements.
“But on the Xbox One version, you’re getting a much richer set of features, such as seeing your achievements progress on the Xbox One console, being able to unlock new achievements throughout the year, and earning real prizes inside and outside of the game,” he added.
“Xbox One also enables a new concept of challenges, where games will be offering special time-based opportunities to earn various goals and collect the rewards.”

I wonder what the new size of the avatars will be. Also I really think that having two sets of achievements for both console sis just really silly. Also I like the current achievement system and I really think that it doesn't need to be changed.

_BaleSuck_BaleSuck I'm hoping they're better than the 360 crap ones.
Agreed, the 360 ones were terrible... I did like the konsole kings ones though.
Haha they're the only ones I use
Same, looked really nice compared to everything else :)
The Konsole Kings are the only pack i've ever bought and I still use them !

Ranzee I don't think I've ever had my avatar as a gamer picture. Usually opt to MLG ones
Haha, same. I'd always just blow MSP on those things - Ah, the memories. I haven't played Xbox in a while, I got banned a while back on my main account and I just haven't been inclined to play ever since... This sorta' makes me happy though, seeing as all achievements will be worthless anyways. :p

Mortar I am intrigued as to how the avatars will appear, will they look oversized? Be an eyesore? I don't know, but it does sound interesting.
Microsoft spend a lot of time on making the avatars. I think they will look pretty cool.
