Raven developer confirms my suspicions in excellent new article on Singularity. by Jerry Whorebach 03/17/2014, 1:33am PDT
Raven Software's Keith Fuller wrote:

[Singularity] did eventually ship, and earned a respectable 76 Metacritic score, so what turned it around? It wasn't more people. Raven had already been siphoning team members from elsewhere in the company: from the Wolfenstein project as well as from the Marvel team, which had just shipped X-Men Origins: Wolverine. With Singularity’s enormous head count and history of failed deliverables, the eleventh hour deal struck with Activision was understandable: They gave us one last chance to land the plane, with conditions that made sense ... even if they were brutal on the team.

The first team member siphoned off the Wolfenstein project? The guy responsible for picking a final name for the Wolfenstein project.

I finished it last night. According to the stats screen, it took me four weeks of real time to log seven hours of game time. I feel like there's the basis for an objective reviewing system in that ratio.

SPOILER: Not only is the ultimate bad guy not-Hitler (just some Tarkinesque Nazi bureaukraut named "Deathshead" (surely that should've been THE GERMAN WORDS FOR DEATH'S HEAD, ja?)), you don't EVEN get to kill him. He just flies away in a zeppelin! Raven Software: saving Nazi war criminals from popular justice like they're the fucking Catholic Church.
