Kara Phillips,

Kara is an evergreen writer. Having spent three years as a games journalist guiding, reviewing, or generally waffling about the weird and wonderful, she’s more than happy to tell you all about which obscure indie games she’s managed to sink hours into this week. When she’s not raising a dodo army in Ark: Survival Evolved or taking huge losses in Tekken, you’ll find her helplessly trawling the internet for the next best birdwatching game because who wants to step outside and experience the real thing when you can so easily do it from the comfort of your living room.

The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

75%

Examples:

  • , Back in 2015, developer Radiant Entertainment released a playable alpha of a game called Rising Thunder, and it was really something special. So what happened to Rising Thunder? Well, the devs got bought up by Riot, the project was cancelled, and for nearly a decade now the team has been working on 2XKO.
  • , I have also never played one of the best FromSoftware games, because I haven’t owned a PlayStation console since the PS2. Bloodborne’s been out for nine entire years at this point though—and news of a PC port is completely absent.
  • , I mean, BG&E2 was announced way back in 2008, and it took another full decade before a cinematic trailer appeared at E3 in 2018. Since then we've gotten a few assurances it's still in development, but nothing concrete.
  • , I think the anticipation for Silksong has outgrown a presentation like a Nintendo Direct or the Xbox Showcase, but that doesn’t stop me from focusing on the 'what if' scenario.
  • , My soul still burns, but I’m not sure if the same can be said for Bamco.
  • , Rumor is that it was internally rebooted a few years ago, so we probably know even less than that about it now.
  • We've been inundated with game announcements over the last week. Regardless of how many trailers we've seen or release dates we’ve marked on our calendars, however, there are bound to be a few notable absences.

Deceptions

45%

Examples:

  • Elie Gould, News Writer: After spending most of early 2023 being angry that Capcom was remaking Resident Evil 4 instead of making something new, and then almost immediately taking it back once the remake became one of my favourite games last year, I finally think it's time that we carried on with the story at hand and got to see what else Capcom has planned.
  • Harvey Randall, Staff Writer: I'm a big soulslike guy. I like giant dads in armour, I like swinging a big claymore, and I'm really excited to get my grubby mitts into the Elden Ring DLC. But Bloodborne's been out for nine entire years at this point though... and news of a PC port is completely absent.
  • Kara Phillips, Evergreen Writer: We knew this would happen. I'm sure I sound like a broken record, but every showcase seems a bit disappointing when there’s no Silksong news.
  • Mollie Taylor, Features Producer: Summer Game Fest was a surprising W for fighting gamers, but I still couldn’t help but wish my immense copium for Soulcalibur 7 had manifested into an actual announcement.
