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.”

Everything they have said sounds amazing but then I looked at the picture and was confused. After reading this I thought the new design would be slick and modern but what I am seeing in that picture is a dashboard from like 2005... Anyways I would like them to speek more about the "Game Recording" because they really haven't talked about it that much, also I wonder how all the big video recording company's will be affected by this.! I'm really excited for this console to be released!

This sounds pretty nice to me, I'm glad to hear they're enhancing some of the smaller things to do with the console.

koolmang66xIVIcMuFFiiNxLuckyOtter That's cool that their making achievements for each consoles. But who would want to get CoD Ghosts more than once? It's already going to be bad enough.
And what makes you say it's going to be bad? Have you played the game yet? Why make assumptions about a game when you haven't even played it yet?
i think hes refering to buying the game twice being bad, not the game is already bad
To be honest, your avatar on TTG is distracting me... Coincidence to this topic? I think maybe...

It's called an educated guess, my friend, since the first Black Ops the Call of Duty franchise has gone downhill and since the company lied about the new "Engine" people are reluctant to believe any other "Great" things the Ghosts addition is planning to add, also with the continuous problems (The Wanted perk, unbalanced weapons and perk system and lack of originality) people are realising that the game is just Coke one year and Pepsi the next!
Bring on Dr Pepper!
