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 am kind of confused on this avatar thing. So, what exactly is a full-body HD gamerpic? Is that a picture of myself? Or is it just more detailed in the customization of the avatar?
The achievements are sounding kind of cool though. It's cool when they get to add achievements within a game's lifetime. It adds to the replay value for those of us who go out of our way for them. Eager to see how they work though.

Never really had much attention towards avatars. You make them then you really never notice them again because your usually playing games.

Hmm, does this mean you can take a screenshot with the built in PVR and use it as an Avatar?
