Rare, the developers behind the avatars, say the motion-sensing camera has been causing problems for users when playing a game where their actions were replicated on-screen by an avatar. It's not a technical issue with the camera; instead, it's apparently an issue with player perception, because the avatar's pudgy little cartoon proportions aren't like those of our more elongated selves. So people's hand-eye coordination in certain games "broke". Nick Burton, senior programmer at Rare, says the new avatars will be a little more realistic.

Knew it was coming.

They looked more "realistic" than the current Avatars but not as "realistic" as the avatars from Home. My first thought was maybe a revamping of Avatars announced at E3? It's more likely to be models just loaded into the breakout game, I guess.
