E3 2017: 8 Ups & 7 Downs From Microsoft's Conference
2. State Of Decay 2's Face Glitch Becomes An Instant Meme
State of Decay 2 got its first major demonstration with a lengthy (and arguably over-lengthy) gameplay reel, which suggests a far larger and more ambitious game than the original.
That said, it may have all been derailed by one unintentionally hilarious moment that's already gone viral as an Internet meme. After being saved from a zombie horde, the protagonist is shown diving into the back of a truck and sporting a jarringly happy face that seems totally inappropriate to the scenario and its tone.
Players on NeoGAF then started re-posting the image with the caption "This is fine..." once Microsoft announced the $499 Xbox One X price tag. Ouch. Sure, it's more publicity for State of Decay 2, but it also makes the game look rather janky and unrefined.
