That sort of thing is standard practice.
The Job listings expose the existence of the game anyway so it makes no sense to pretend the game doesn’t exist.
You calling it “wild” doesn’t make it an uncommon thing.

well, at least they dropped something I guessHellblade 2 got a new tech demo a couple weeks ago
I mean this isn't even Stan shyt as this has become an industry wide thing. It's relevant now because the thing we are talking about is an Xbox title in this instance. Third party developers do the same thing. Sony owned studios probably have done it too.
And there are nuances to this type of practice because of delays, but my point remains the same.
Meach, you're being disingenuous. Job listings on developer sites are not telling the public what the game is they are working on, just that they need someone to work on a project. That is vastly different than said developer OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCING the title of the game and showing whatever content on a public platform using their branding. The former only leads to speculation, the latter begins to set expectations. This is likely one of the reasons why developers and publishers don't always announce their shyt so early.

People are still doing it, Ubisoft with splinter cell, Crystal with Tomb Raider, CDPR with Witcher 4…etc. Sony got a lot of shyt for it last gen announcing so many titles so early for probably the same reason. They were trying to sell the console.
It still hits a bit different when its a big CGI trailer announced at a big award show or showcase though
The game was known to be in development well before the announcement.

Again, at that point it makes most sense to “announce” the game, 1 cause the secret is already out. 2 for recruiting purposes.

Same reason Sony announced wolverine with just a teaser and no team actually working on the game yet.
Again, i’m not making any of this up. It’s standard industry practice. Just cause you have not been paying attention doesn’t make that not true.

How could they be working on Wolverine when they were working on miles
This isn’t true, the Miles Morales team was always attached to it.
Insomniac clearly has/had to recruit devs for wolverine.

Insomniac clearly has/had to recruit devs for wolverine.
They announced Wolverine in September 2021, Miles came out in November 2020, its very easy to figure it out
And comparing Insomniac to “The Initiative” is dumb
You clearly have no idea how game dev works
I just gave you comments from a game PR specialist responding directly to questions about why Wolverine was announced the way it was, and you still wanna argue this dumb shyt

Equating the initiative to insomniac is dumb regardless of the reason, one studio is a proven entity ready to drop their 2nd PS5 game. Wolverine will probably still launch before Perfect Dark.
They already have a solid development pipeline for their games. A new studio doesn’t get the same benefit of the doubt from fans, which is why people are questioning this game
Whats even worse is most of the people at the Initiative when this game was announced left already. If this teaser was for recruitment it had the opposite effect lol
I’m not equating anything but the idea of using a trailer as a recruitment tool which is standard practice in the industry.
You just wanna say stan shyt as usual. That’s on you

There seems to be a gap between what I'm saying and what you're comprehending. People 'knowing' about a game in development before it is announced and a developer officially announcing a game half a decade before release are two different things. I do not care about people 'knowing' about it because that doesn't set the expectation of the developer officially announcing it does. Fine, I can buy it being a recruiting tool but it doesn't change what I'm saying. If you don't understand this that is fine, but that has been my overall point since I entered this thread today.
I understand that’s your opinion. But it’s not a rare occurrence for a game to be “announced” early for the aforementioned reasons.
Hell i remember waiting like 4 years between the announcement and release of Ninja Gaiden back in the day on xbox.
And games take much longer to make these days.
