Xbox 360 Avatars Restricted to Non-violent Games
Posted by XanTium | August 4 23:58 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
From shacknews.com:
[QUOTE]
Speaking at Microsoft's GameFest event in Seattle, Xbox Live general manager Eric Kilgore explained that while the Avatars--Microsoft's answer to Nintendo's Miis--are currently planned only to be allowed for use in titles rated E10+ and lower, that restriction may change in the future.

"We are still developing the final policies," Kilgore stated, as reported by Develop. "The final guide we have this year is to think of them in an 'E10' context. That doesn't mean it won't change--but this Fall they won't be able to blow each other's heads off."

I don't think any game in the next few years will ever allow personal avatars to be shot up in an M-rated game for online play.

However, I do think eventually they will allow them for the single player game maybe but that's it. I hope I'm wrong as I'd love to see my personal avatar demolish the enemy team in CoD4 but I don't see that happening. We're in a world that's PC-crazy (political correctiveness), and the U.S. is also lawsuit happy.

Microsoft Promotes and supports violent games ( call me a liar i dare ya ) yet when they create these little avatar people.. we can't have fun with them? maybe they should limit the adult options ( blowing each others head off ) TO 18+ AND DISABLE THEM in the under 18 systems... if a kid lies and says hes 23 oh well not our problem...

no wonder m$ sucks they take the fun out of everything... m$ is always worried about getting sued...
