Basically these guys are trying to transfer the game to the new source engine. Looks like it would be really cool, just a shame they seem like they have a long way to go. I get the feeling it'll end up like the Sith Lords Restoration Project for KOTOR 2 but still, it's an awesome idea and coupled with Wesp5's patches we could be looking at VTMB the way it was meant to be... 10 years after it was released.

Wow that could be awesome - but yeah they defo need to have a look at some of Wesp's patches - if they transfer the vanilla unpatched game over then it'll be a bit of a waste of time.

Wow, I can't believe I had missed this project. This is absolutely brilliant!

excuse the odd question? but why? a new bloodlines? higher resolution? better FPS? because the pics i saw it looks more or less exactly the same.

The Source engine wasn't even finished when they were using it for Bloodlines, so it's kind of a crappy, unpolished version. There may not be a huge amount of graphical improvements, but everything else would be a lot better. For example, the physics in Bloodlines right now is a bit off, like when you pick something up that is in a tight space, or walk over a grabbable object and get stuck, the way skirts just go nuts at the slightest provocation, etc. There are many other small bugs with the engine as it is, this project would improve on them, making the game feel a lot better if nothing else. At least, that's my understanding of it.
