    • The inflammatory rhetoric fallacy is evident in this sentence: 'Silent Hill and projects from Hideo Kojima dominated the presentation.' This statement implies that Silent Hill and Hideo Kojima's work are superior to other games being showcased during PlayStation's State of Play, which may not be true or accurate.
  • Bias (80%)
    The article is biased towards Hideo Kojima and his new game PSYINT. The author uses phrases such as 'the culmination of my work' to describe the game which shows a clear preference for it.
