Is this what they meant by more investment? To create studios that focus on stuff like Avatars?
This gif just reminded me that there's an actual Avatar game in development. What ever happened to that?.

Does anybody remember this story from 2013. when XB1 was launched?

Where did all that 1 billion $ go...?
Well...on the one hand they are opening a studio... on the other hands... yah, avatars.
Some of the avatar games from the 360 era were unironically among the most fun titles of the generation. From the Kinect games like Kinect Sports to stuff like Doritos Crash Course and 1v100. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing such experiences again, also considering the new avatars look really good. It was also great how a lot of games allowed you to use your avatar, eg. the Bomberman titles always allowed to play with that instead of a regular character if you wished. It'd be a cool thing, especially in kid games. Imagine playing an official video game from the latest Pixar movie, but instead of the main character you use an avatar based on you, with all the perks, traits, characteristics the new style has (very detailed face features, disabilities, etc.). This could be cool, too bad shitposters downplay it, as if the existence of avatars somehow meant there will be no other games on Xbox ever.
I'm actually surprised that I feel kinda excited for the new avatars. No idea why. Too bad I can't have my red dead redemption suit with a Dr. Pepper can as a head any more though.
I know everyone is wanting to see Doritos Crash Course, but I wanna see more stuff like Keflings.
The success of games like Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley and Minecraft to an extent prove there is interest in that kind of relaxing gameplay loop. A high-quality polished Keflings sequel with these gorgeous avatars could lowkey be a hit.

That'd be hilarious tbh. Especially if you could use your avatar clothes and gear in-game (Halo, Gears, Fable, Rare, Minecraft stuff).

I want:
-A kart racer (either a sequel to Joy Ride or a completely new series)
-Sequel to Keflings
-New version of Game Room, but for OG Xbox games
I never had the chance to try 1vs100, so I'd like to see it come back this gen. That's also the one game I could see working very well across a variety of platforms.
I don't think I ever bought an item for my avatar. Maybe the Gears 3 shirt, but I can't remember. It did make me play certain games to unlock their avatar rewards though. I hope they bring the reward system back with the new avatars.This decision is probably based on the huge amount of money x360 owners have spent on clothes and other stuff for their avatars. It's easy money for MS I guess...

Then we can't shit up Microsoft threads anymore. And where is the fun in that?If the games with the avatars are good/fun, then where is the harm?
are we back to 2007?who cares about avatar anymore. even in 2007 they were cool for a bit. that's all. time to move on and start developing for AR and/or VR instead of avatar if you have studios to spare like this .
But this brings forth a question. do they want to again try to appeal to casual market like Wii and kinect?
