Aaaaand there it is, why they delisted the old games, they want us to buy the new version instead!

Not a great sign when you have to assure people that the game is still being developed.

Then again, we complain about games being rushed. Maybe it will be great!

(I know nothing about the franchise)

The first game in 2003 was well regarded but a bit of a commercial failure. It was planned as a trilogy but people thought sequels might not happen

Then in 2008 this teaser about waiting was released confirming a sequel was in the works , since then Duke Nukem Forever has been released and BG&E2 now holds the title for "longest development for a AAA video game".
