Re: Unlock clothes for avatar based on game achievements
It seems like it would be possible, mostly in my opinion, because they are already giving them away for free. So Microsoft seems like they are currently accepting of the idea of not making money off them, right?

I have a question about all this... So if this does eventually happen, then what kind of clothes are you going to get from a game that is less obvious than a game such as Fallout 3 or Star Wars TFU?

Are we going to get shirts with a car logo? While the more obvious games seem to have a good thing going for them, other games will be left out eventually. There needs to be a lot of thinking before this (achievement clothes) actually happens.


i think there are tons of options for gamer clothes right now. besides the armor/clothing that in-game characters wear (which is a-lot of stuff. even every sport game could have jersey's available), it could be achievement related. maybe the name of the game with 1000 complete on it when u beat the game/complete all achievments or the name of a really difficult achievement that u unlock clothes and achievment at the same time, so u can show off ur skills...or a something on a hat...or game related shoes or boots. maybe a prop (tho ms said at some point no weapons for avatars, but that would be awesome)...maybe even hairstyles similar to certian game characters. sunglasses, or masks, or helmets.

as for the need for speed example, it' strue some games are going to present a little more creative thinking. I mean, how about a police tee from the in-game cops. simple, but it is possible.

Not only would this show off the gamer's hard work in a certian game it's pretty decent advertising for developers/publishers. i mean, u see some guy's avatar with some bad quantum singularity gear, and u want that game to get that cool gear.

LK's 5 I cant wait to play:

1) Mass Effect 2 2) FF13 3) Modern Warfare 2 4) Dragon Age: Origins 5) Tekken 6

Re: Unlock clothes for avatar based on game achievements

for racing games like NFS or Grid as examples why couldnt they have your charactor in a car? Maybe even a tiny car with a large bobble head version of your charactor? If they could actually show the car off it would open up great marketing with toyota(who already used XBLA for the Yaris game), Imaging being able to get a Mercedes or Lotus from winning a specific race in a game. Maybe a street level car as a honda/toyota/ford/nissan promotion? If thought outside the box anything could work.

I was only using NFS as an example, because it was the first racing title that came to my head, but good post nonetheless. Big Smile [:D]

This would be really cool because PS3 got 'Street Fighter IV' clothes for the Playstation Home avatars.

Shoot!

The girls need more styles of clothing than those 'booty' shorts, lol.

I honestly am a Hollister girl; I would love to have some of those preppy styles... :)

Hollister is considered preppy these days? Preps in the late 80's early 90's wore ties and business casual clothing. Not t-shirts and skinny jeans...

I definitely agree. The girls have crotch rot shorts and skirts which is just not realistic for most female gamers. I'm not into Hollister, but I want the jeans the guys have and the Chucks too. The shoe selection is crap. Not many females walk around in 4 inch heels. Where are the regular shorts, T-shirts, capris, and flip-flips like most of us wear in the summer? I don't know why the clothes are set for each *** anyway.

Re: Unlock clothes for avatar based on game achievements
I just keep thinking of the Shirt you get in GTA 3 (and I think Vice City) that said, "I got 100% and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt."

And for the thread on games that don't feature clothing or characters, they could just release unlockable themes. But of course, I think we're all speculating that every game is going to take advantage of this feature. If you think about it, very few games took advantage of the "unlocks a gamer picture" option before NXE. Most companies just posted free content on Marketplace, and will most likely do the same with the Awardables (except like a trophy or Race car toy signifying an achievement).  But those will be the gomers, the cool outfits/items will cost coin.

If you can read this, thank a teacher.

I'm just hoping that they actually give items for older games, Because if I don't get a bloody servbot helmet for getting 7 day survivor on Dead Rising, Or some kind of weapon for 10th prestige on WaW, I'm gonna be pissed off.

Well, looking at some of the videos that have been posted on Youtube, the props are the coolest thing so far. The little Hale 3 warthog is really cute and I know a lot of fans of the game will buy it.

Wow, misplace you anger much? I don't remember recieving the memo that we were being forced to buy anything. If someone wants to spend a couple of bucks to deck out their avatar, more power to them. I might pick up a thing or two, but I think most of the stuff is overpriced.  Then again, I don't think I can be as calm and reasonable as you are, so sorry for flying off of the handle like that.

When I die, I want to go like grandpa, peacefully while I'm asleep. Not screaming like the other people in his car.

I kind of agree with Rusty, but I am one of the idiots that paid for a ghostbusters outfit for my PSN Home avatar and also a cowboy hat. Unless the powers at Msoft are planning something like Home, I do not see me paying for any avatar clothes on my 360.

Jeez dude sorry we cant all share your opinion. If you dont want to spend your money on things for your avatar then nobodys forcing you to. I was just wondering why you didnt like the new marketplace, nobody here wants to read your rants.

Your rants did not make any sense until I read your sig, which by the way is in violation of the TOS. But liberal facists always feel they are right and everyone else is wrong.
