I don't think so, not in the sense that there are multiple directors with the same responsibilities. There are animation directors, audio directors etc, but I'm pretty sure they don't just have a bench full of game directors sitting on deck waiting for their turn to lead development....
Didn’t the guy who went back to insomniac say most of it was done like early last year, well the actual playable part
You can spin it any way you want but 2 directors leaving a project before completion isn't a good thing. Not gloom and doom but not sunshine and roses either. Hopefully development continues smoothly and doesn't hit a Halo Infinite like snag.
Interestingly it says on LinkedIn he is open to work immediately. Could point to a firing or rage quitting more than a typical resignation? He also worked at Crystal Dynamics previously and had a three year gap until he worked at The Initiative, so perhaps bringing CD onboard to help rubbed him the wrong way due to past relationships there.

I guess we'll see. This game was still years out anyway - still plenty of time to right the ship.
This has been Microsoft's Achilles heel for years. Mismanagement of IPs and studios. With the amount of studios they have now, this needs to get sorted out quickly.
This is true. With that said, they don't want another Crackdown 3. They need to delay until it's ready, regardless of how much that sucks for us.
I really enjoyed the CD3 campaign. They should have just shelved the MP and released it at $20 campaign only.I would like Crackdown 4.
I still wish they'd make a superhero game with the same graphical style as CD3 on the new consoles but add destruction etc that doesn't require online. That tech demo of a MP mode they made was worthless, the bones of CD3's campaign were good it was just missing a few things.
