Let me paint you the landscape as someone that wanted, waited, hoped, hyped and gave up.

May 2008 they release a trailer for BG&E 2

2009'ish a pseudo gameplay trailer

Several years of tumbleweeds, talk of it cancellation, talk of a whole 4 dudes/dudettes plugging away at "making" an entire game.  Claims and confirmation of its cancellation.  And now they've regressed to releasing a doodle... 

My optimism for this has burnt out.  The IP is now targeting a demographic, who if they are lucky, are barely aware the first game existed.

I've been feed the line enough.  I'll now only believe it when I see it.  And thats assuming its not some Duke Nukem forever hack-job.

I love this. 

 

For months we kept hearing publically how they weren't  going to take over Ubisoft. 

 

So what are they going to do? Take over Ubisoft. 

 

Which we already knew from the start would happen, I just think its funny
