E308: Avatar clothing could be unlocked using game achievements

Coming straight from Microsoft’s Community Briefing yesterday (the same one where we got the chance to nibble on delicious chocolate delights), we learned that an Avatar’s wardrobe could not only be comprised of those items offered through normal channels, but could potentially come from the earning of game accomplishments.

Team Microsoft said that the potential is there and developers are showing interest in offering unlockable Avatar content using game accomplishments. Think of items like a Gears of War 2 tshirt for your Avatar to wear if you earn the Seriously achievement or the unlock of a special ninja mask for completing Ninja Gaiden II on the hardest difficulty. It’d be an extra incentive to go after an achievement IF the accomplishment itself isn’t enough, but the rub here’s that you’ve to actually care about your Avatar’s clothing. Us, we’re all about forgoing the whole wardrobe unlock thing, sporting a naked Avatar and getting double the game’s Gamerscore.
