I don't think so. There are hundreds of people working on it and it's not like "key people" can't be replaced. The plans of the game have been laid out for a long time and the game is a good amount into development. I don't think it is impossible for the people that left to be replaced without sacrificing the quality of the product.

But then why did they leave?  

I mean there had to be a reason because they all left one after the other, and while yes they will be replaced, if there is a whole new team comming in, don't you think they will want to make it their game , and change it to thier liking?  

Just looking at the art department, the head art director is responsable for the entire art direction of the game, so if thier is a new art director comming in, then it is verry possible that U4 will take a completely different art direction, and same think with the new Writer comming in, and the new game director.

Also, all the work they they had done voice acting for the villan (we know he was working on U4 with them for at least 6 months) will have to be redone, and the fact they they are recasting the villan is a sign to me that they DO want to take a completly new direction with U4 than the old team had in mind.

Why did they leave? How about personal reasons? It's a big team, there are bound to be some quarrels. It doesn't even have to do something with the game at all.

The new people will NOT change it to their liking. They will stick to what has been done already because they accept how good these people were at their jobs. They will try to stick as close to the initial plan as possible. Not only is there no reason to change anything but it's actually a risk. The previous games were successful because of their direction so it would be utter stupidity to change anything. Also please consider that the last word and veto is always with the producer and not the director.

Voice acting is just what it is. It's probably the easiest thing to be redone in a game. I don't think they fired him because they don't like his voice. There are so many things that can prompt a person to leave or to be fired. You could even think that his voice acting was already finished before he left.
