rip sweet prince. ;(

 

[black_vegeta]

How is Kudo Tsunoda taking all of this?

Unemployed and on suicide watch

 

[Dead Prince]

rip sweet prince. ;(

i'm not going anywhere.

 

[Tan]

Poor rare.

 

[Ban Puncher]

B-b-but what about Doritos™ Crash Course™ next gen?!

 

[jmdajr]

:'(

 

[snoopeasystreet]

I was always pretty apathetic towards them. Seems like they were making money though, a lot of people on my friends list had some stuff that could only be bought.

 

[Sylver]

Wow surprised.
I didn't have xbox but I think these were better than sony's Home avatars.
M$ seems really doing rare things.

 

[El Sloth]

yep

all that money you spent this gen is down the drain in every way possible. No BC, no XBLA carryover, no avatar items

time to bend over again

I hear the rumored Pro SKU comes with a bottle of scented lube.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

B-b-but what about Dorito's Crash Course next gen?!

After what they did to Crash Course 2, they can shove any third game up their ass.

 

[beril]

Not that I care about them but this is just really stupid.

Why would they not have it carry over, even if they're less utilized in next gen games? Basically they're doing nothing to encourage their current users to stick with them the next generation.

 

[Curufinwe]

I liked my guy in his RE 4 Leon outfit.

 

[Dark Octave]

I liked them and every last one of my friends used them as intended but the wife is right, it was like grown men playing dress up dolls.

 

[Officerrob]

Wow surprised.
I didn't have xbox but I think these were better than sony's Home avatars.

That's a really low bar to clear

 

[Poona]

It's interesting if it works out this way, because avatars also exist in Windows 8 and Windows Phone, so not sure how they're meant to totally rub them out.

 

[Omegasquash]

All these fucks aren't going to give themselves.

I'm OK with this. I'd rather have a picture of me, or an image that I can control a little more.

 

[bidguy]

this is good news... i guess

 

[spirity]

Some good news at last. Great that they're going, I couldn't ever stand them.

 

[kuYuri]

Wouldn't they just put another avatar system that's Xbox One only?

 

[Aguirre]

this is actually pretty crappy. my sister loves avatars and dressing them up, she has spent money on them, and now they're rendered obsolete.

 

[Pyramid head]

I'd like avatars to dissapear from everywhere. They seem almost scientifically designed to achieve perfect blandness.

 

[Vexxan]

Eh, I think avatars are pretty cool.

 

[soulassssns]

But....but what will Rare do know?

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Wow, I actually didn't know until today that Rare was responsible for Avatars. Makes sense, though, one more thing on their resume that is a watered down exact copy of something Nintendo did.

 

[Easy_D]

What about my Windows Phone, guys?

...Guys?

 

[Brinbe]

I'm sure they'll be back.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Avatars out, Instagram selfies in.



I didn't mind the avatars.. Some folks are just too cool for school around here.

 

[waypoetic]

Avatars are dead and your invested money... POOF!

 

[intheinbetween]

What about all the money people spent on dressing them?

they will remain at their 360s?

 

[Radec]

No more of those godawful model poses

Are one of their legs longer than the other? Anyway good riddance.

one of the worse gaming fad.

 

[Mindwipe]

Their reply to the follow up question makes it seem like they're not sure.

By "for what it's worth" I mean "I don't think Xbox Twitter support knows what the hell they're saying at this point" but who knows.

They have said much the same in different ways in other tweets though, it's just hard for me to navigate through so many overflow accounts and post links from my phone.

 

[B.O.O.M]

But why? I thought people liked them in general

 

[Aguirre]

they will remain at their 360s?

and how long do you think ms will support 360 after xbone comes out? it'll be phased out gradually. >.<

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

I'm honestly a little upset at this news. I've, no joke, spent $100.00+ on Avatar Items.

It's all gone now. I'll miss my little guy. :/

 

[FStop7]

What about all the money people spent on dressing them?

you will receive a virtual toilet to flush it down.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

I've spent $10000 on them

 

[Deified Data]

is...is this good?

If you consider XBO rocketing towards the grave to be a good thing, sure.

 

[Gravijah]

Not sure why people should "rejoice" as they were optional and some people seemed to enjoy them.

 

[Flame Lord]

That's actually kinda weak. I feel bad for those who bought all that extra shit for them.

 

[intheinbetween]

and how long do you think ms will support 360 after xbone comes out? it'll be phased out gradually. >.<

apparently MS will keep supporting 360 "for years to come": http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=562477

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Good. I fucking despised the Xbox avatars with a passion usually reserved for people that stand in my way at a supermarket.

Good riddance I say.

 

[Roto13]

Avatars are basically douchier Miis, but it's pretty weird that they're not going to carry them over. I was under the impression that they make a nice bit of money off of avatar accesories.

Unless they're just going to replace them with something similar but new.

 

[marc^o^]

That is surprising.

Maybe Kinect is powerful enough to bring the real you inside the game?

 

[The Real Napsta]

Not sure why people should "rejoice" as they were optional and some people seemed to enjoy them.

They weren't optional, try making a live account right now without setting up an avatar. Also they are shoved in our faces on the dashboard and in almost all Xbox related media.

 

[saltinekracka]

I loved my little avatar and enjoyed seeing my friends' likeness next to their gamertag. Bad move, Microsoft.

 

[Loomer]

Never actually made one.

 

[Jockel]

What about all the money people spent on dressing them?

That was actually just a scam to get back the money they lost on used games.

 

[DyTonic]

What about all the money people spent on dressing them?

Money down the drain with no return, wow wtf is up with these guys..

 

[Vilix]

That means the Miis have won!

 

[D-e-f-]

Are you implying that Miis have "soul"?

That Mii you love to hate.

Watch what you're saying in front of him!

or he might send this guy after you:
