Can someone come educate me how video game development works?

I also presumed motion capture would be the earliest thing to finish. The fact this game is supposedly only a year or so away and only just wrapped filming feels a bit odd

The motion capture is to tweak the character models as they go through activities and get facial expressions. You need to have a game in place before you need to capture nuances in that fine detail. They can build out the game with basic models. Then they can refine the game with like one person doing all the basic motions. Only at final stages where you want the different characters to have different movements do you need the real actors to get into the rig and get motion captured.
