Expansions will come out before multiplayer (which we know is not even coming out in 2021). The reason why it gets bigger team is because it's a new project for them with the online infrastructure and all (Gwent was obviously smaller in scale), while expansions will be built upon the already existing fundamentals, with properly functioning engine and development tools, so they don't require as many people to work on them. Entire Hearts of Stone was made in a 5 months or so, while Blood and Wine (with preproduction beforehand) in around six months, so I imagine that all the single player content will be released throughout 2021, while multiplayer will come out at earliest (in beta version, at least) in 2022.
Fun fact: when we were having The Witcher 10th Anniversary Community Meeting inside CD Projekt HQ, more then half of developers who were present at Q&A panel, when asked about their favorite Witcher game, named Hearts of Stone as the one, the expansion to The Witcher 3 (the rest named The Witcher 1, mostly because they were not involved in it's development, so it was the only Witcher game they could experience as just a players). The reason given by The Witcher 3 director, Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, was that it felt like the most complete Witcher experience they delivered so far, with barely any content cuts, and because by that point they had the entire technology completely figured out, they were able to do a lot more then during the development of The Witcher 3 (in Blood and Wine as well, like the vampire attack on Beauclair. They were trying to do something similar in base game with Wild Hunt attacking the Novigrad, but back then it ended utterly sinking the performance, forcing them to move the final battle to Skellige).And that they ended up being amazing experiences to boot. I used to think no other game's expansion would manage to be as memorable as Oblivion's The Shivering Isles and Fallout New Vegas' Old World Blues until I played HoS and BaW
I misunderstood (because reasons). Thanks!
they said they tested the 100 most played games on ps4 and almost all of them work already with no patch needed, but the console, per se, is backward compatible by AMD design, no emulation.
I'm not. Even though Ray Tracing is on the weaker side, Sony once again made some bombastic changes in sound calculation. This console generation looks alot more experimental and daring than 8th.
I don't understand what you're trying to say, seriously. COuld you elaborate? (my nickname is very valid)
