UPDATE:

ErrorJustin said:
FYI it's looking more and more likely that most of Fhis work published on IGN has editorial copy in it sufficiently derivative of previously-published work that it is a significant ethical breach and will need to be removed.

We are moving on it as fast as we can as a Senior Editorial staff.

There are complications. Including challenges around removing review scores and the way out site CMS works (which is why Dead Cells unfortunately displayed a "0.0 Disaster" score for a time).

A final decision hasn't been made but I think the most likely outcome is all of his work will be removed, and we'll decide from there what we need to do in terms of replacing the back-catalogue of critical content we owe game makers.

In case you don't know what's going on, the previous thread: https://www.resetera.com/threads/fi...sation-update-more-examples-discovered.61255/

In the now deleted apology video, Filip dared people to find more evidence of his plagiarism as he claimed it didn't exist. There have been multiple found so far, including previews and reviews of FIFA, Octopath Traveler, Switch HD Rumble previews, Bayonetta 2 and more.

Man I feel so bad for IGN, but they've been handling this really well since it has all unfolded. Ugh.

This guy shouldn't have ever departed from Vlogging to become a dishonorable videogame "critic" at the Imagine Games Network. Woof!

wait, what ?
I will post again:


Today findings started with:
ReyVGM:I find Filip's Bayonetta 2 Switch review weird because he said he didn't have a Wii U, which means he didn't play the original Bayo 2. So why is his Switch review comparing it so much to the Wii U version when he didn't even play it? My guess is he obviously did some of his research by looking at other reviews, but isn't it weird that the entire review is him comparing it to a game he never played?

Seriously, look at his closing comments, it's as if he knows the Wii U version inside out, when in fact he didn't play it.

Then I did some search:
Polygon: Feb 2
With the Bayonetta series finally available on the Switch, more people will be able to relive two of the best hack-and-slash games of the last decade.

Filip: Feb 15
Playing through Bayonetta 2 on Nintendo Switch allowed me to relive some of the most exhilarating, action-packed, hack-and-slash moments from the last decade of gaming.

Polygon: Bayonetta 1 and 2 on Switch are as great as they've always been

Filip:What's New in Bayonetta 2 For Nintendo Switch?


Polygon Feb 2, 2018, 8:30am EST
Bayonetta 1 and 2 are coming to the Nintendo Switch for the first time this month, bringing the two hack-and-slash classics together for the first time since the Wii U. The Switch versions don't feature the most significant changes over the originals — but that's not a bad thing.

Filip 5 Feb 2018 9:35 AM PST
Bayonetta is back and better than ever on Nintendo Switch. With both the original and sequel launching together later this month on the young hybrid console, the Switch versions of the games don't feature too many noticeable differences from the original — but trust me, that's a good thing.

Later Burly found more, EVEN THE TV SIZE OMFG:

Polygon:
Otherwise, the two games will remain largely identical to their older counterparts. But at a Los Angeles press event on Wednesday, I was treated to a bit of Bayonetta 2 on the Switch console, and was pleasantly surprised by how much it holds up and by how good it looks on a 60-inch TV. The increased frame rate allows for smoother gameplay, so you can dodge attacks with relative ease and finish off enemies with your chainsaw boots. I know a lot of people would've hoped for 1080p and 60fps, but even at 720p, it looks great.

Filip:
In regards to the amount of content included, both games seem to have remained virtually identical to their previous counterpart consoles. Despite the game's lower resolution, they both looked absolutely stunning on the 60-inch TV I played on, and the increased frame rate provided a much smoother play experience which made my time with the game much more enjoyable as a whole. A lot of us were expecting 1080p/60 fps for this one, but even while running at 720p, it still manages to look fantastic.

It's really easy to tell now. Just read one of his reviews (*edit Op-ed) and look for keywords that stand out.

IGN's Octopath traveler article, July 17 2018:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2018/07...-out-about-what-makes-their-game-so-appealing
Square Enix has created what feels like a storybook world that extrudes the 2D RPG dungeon maps of the 16-bit console era and transcends them into the third dimension — complete with atmospheric lighting and shadow effects from the modern era.

So I just googled "octopath traveler" and "storybook" and got the original.



Polygon's Octopath Traveler review, July 12 2018:

https://www.polygon.com/2018/7/12/17563366/octopath-traveler-review-nintendo-switch-jrpg
The developers have created a storybook world that extrudes the dungeon maps of 16-bit console RPGs into three
dimensions, then soaks everything in atmospheric lighting and shadow effects.
