@bellzemo: Nope. You can take a picture of your avatar and use it as your gamer pic but even that is small and goes unnoticed. Wasn't like that on 360.
The problem with avatars on Xbox One is they're tucked away in your profile out of sight, out of mind. You never see your own avatar unless you visit your profile and no one else is taking time to visit a friends profile just to see their avatar.
I think Battlefront II is going to be a significant improvement over the first one. Anthem holds promise, but we'll have to wait and see if it feels like everything we've already played before. Need for Speed didn't impress me at all. A Way Out looks very interesting, but having someone available to continue the story with every time you want to play could be challenging.
My biggest issue is that the crowd in attendance seemed unenthusiastic. These are supposed to be the biggest fans...actual gamers and people who make the games, If they can't show support, that's worrisome. And maybe it was just the hosts, the delivery, the acoustics and production value of the presentation. They failed to create an air of excitement and energy, even when the games looked solid. May want to invest in some of those "applause" signs next time.
