MS Super Leak Event (Or rumor event, its all about perspective)

Most info stolen from MmaRsu of neogaf

360 Avatars

We all know about the extremely popular rumor going around that Microsoft is set to unveil its new motion sensor control (Wii-ripoff), supposedly entitled Newton.

Well, there is another rumor going around that Microsoft is set to unveil their take on Mii's this holiday season, which are being called Avatars, and the fact that the link mentions an NDA makes it look pretty legit.

Avatars : With hundreds of clothing options to choose from your 'Avatar' can truly reflect you each and every day!
- Spend a few minutes or a few hours building and outfitting your 'Avatar' to reflect the real you. The choice is yours.
- Your 'Avatar' will represent you as you jump into various arcade and retail games.

- You'll be playing in the games!

The reason Nintendo sued Nyko was because they looked similar and were basicly the same thing, also Nyko didn't put a label that said that was a third part controller.

Anyway I don't care much for avatars, I bought my 360 to game, not to look at avatars of random people, also MS is gonna give us some cheap childish ones and then they are gonna jack up the price of the good ones.

Wow, I seriously hope that Forza is a massive failure. I don't want to see that VIP bull**** make its way into other games.

I'm just not understanding that Forza 2 discs thing. It says that its two discs because of the amount of cars and tracks right? So what if I want to use a car thats on Disc 2 to drive on a track thats on disc 1? Or vice versa?

I guess it'll use some kinda data cache, but that just seems a little ridiculous for the amount of different combonations possible.

Still - the Avatars look like a nice little addition to waste time with. We'll see how they work out, though reading that "you'll use them in games" portion sounds kinda lame.

When I buy a $60 game I want it to be the full game. I don't like the idea of subscribing to a full price game. I suppose they will have success with it though. People will buy anything. Hell, I bought GT5P, so I'm probably the kind of person they are trying to target with this VIP idea... that doesn't mean that I like it though.rragnaar

You're right, it probably will be success. In fact, they'll likely only need to sell a handful of memberships to turn a profit.

I wonder how bad will this get? I'm already paying $50 a year for XBL. I'm paying $10 extra for games this gen. More and more ads are being crammed down my throat on Live and in-games. I'm expected to pay for "additional" constumes, maps, and even XBL wallpaper and user icons. And soon, I'll probably have to buy VIP access to fully enjoy games. I wouldn't be surprised if Xbox 720 has a little slit on the side so I can swipe my credit card through to turn the thing on.

I wholeheartedly agree, but I am also staying weary of how legitimate this stuff is, some of it just sounds too silly or ridiculous to really be real. I don't MS is planning to try to take away sales from the market Nintendo firmly has in their grasp, they aren't that stupid I hope, as they have no chance really. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 can't really be set in the Civil War, that seems a little controversial, and do you mean to tell me that some of the heroes and villains are going to be backing the South and slavery...Wow, just wow!

Maybe I missed some info in this, but are you sure it is set during the American Civil War?

From what I read is sounds more like it is talking about a Civil War between the Marvel's comic book characters and nothing more.

Forza 3 is a love/hate thing right now. I love the fact they aren't afraid of going multiple discs to cram more content into the game but on the other hand I don't like this VIP business. I don't think limiting a large part of the userbase only because they didn't pay as much money as another part is a good idea (the extra server space and VIP status on community boards might be good ideas in the vein of Bungie Pro but special races and events for VIP members is a definite no IMO). Getting all the downloadable content for free if you have a more expensive edition is a great idea though, and one that I wish other games would use (ie. CoD4 and Halo 3).

Can't say much about the rest. Avatars are completely uninteresting to me (I sincerely hope they won't replace gamerpics, no one touches my PA one) and Guitar Hero 4 will have a superb songlist which will force me to buy it even if I'm a Rock Band person. Smashing Pumpkins and The Doors are sure ways to open my wallet.

Yeah, there was a huge comic event a couple summers ago where the whole Marvel comics universe split up when someone tried to make Heroes reveal their secret identities in order to obtain legal permission to continue being heroes. Some signed up, some didn't. There was this small little civil war that happened because of it.....

Are you kidding? :o Civil War (the main story) was one of the greatest events in Marvel comics! I actually went back to reading comics because of that.

Then Spider-Man: One more day happened and I left again......
