Don't do this to my heart...Wishful thinking:
Maybe they are planning to retrofit their canceled MMO into a single/multiplayer game? (following Blizzard's path)
Yeah, whenever I see "CCP", my brain wants to add the missing C, but they really have nothing in common here. Hell, I don't even know what "CCP" even means, aside from that it's the EVE guys. It's probably something simultaneously pretentious and meaningless, though.Moar liek CCCP.

It's not always that simple though, since they often need some publicity to attract talent and testers.
What if they continue working on it, but don't acknowledge it and don't talk about it? Then they release their thing on torrents when it's done. What's the problem here?
Dunno why modders and whonot doesnt do it this way? always want to be on the big stage....

Another tard with this mentality on the 'Dex, no surprise...
Infinitron already was mostly on the mark: testers, new talent, hype, feedback. All absolutely necessary. Most notably for a remake of a game like Bloodlines you need a large team. Where the fuck do you find a individuals of varying skill sets prepared to work with no pay for a fairly long haul, Yellow Pages? Personally I don't even know one person in real life that has played Bloodlines.
I was about as excited for this project than for the Baldur's Gate remake in the Neverwinter Nights engine.
You want moddability ? How about importing the V:TM ruleset and some assets to the Deus Ex engine?
From what I've read, CCP is doing quite poorly financially, lots of people have been fired. So it's possible that back when they bought WW they actually had sincere plans for the IP, but they had to cancel everything once they started having difficulties, in order to focus efforts on EvE and Dust (maybe?).lol then why the fuck they even bought that company...
Probably thought they could capitalize on the Twilight/True Bloods craze and weren't seeing the kind of progress they wanted. I thought I heard Eve was struggling as well on account of Dust not panning out?From what I've read, CCP is doing quite poorly financially, lots of people have been fired.

EVE is in perfect shape, with steady userbase. Dust tanked on the other hand, but it was never connected financially or business wise, just technically.I thought I heard Eve was struggling as well on account of Dust not panning out?
Probably was their plan, but they took too long... back when WoD MMO seemed like a real possibility (2008 maybe?) and they were even adding character customization and walking around stations as a test-drive for WoD, still their most optimistic deadline for a rough beta was late 2013! That's a five year wait minimum, and fads go out of style much faster nowadays.Probably thought they could capitalize on the Twilight/True Bloods craze and weren't seeing the kind of progress they wanted.

Maybe Obsidian could make a Vampire game? Something just as buggy and full of heart as the original?
OMG!!!! Gay-Lussac!
You have been gone for a while. Obsidian WAS working on a new Vampire game..... and then White Wolf got bought and that killed it.
I don't understand why the VtMB new remake team didn't do this.Yes. Like the Exult people did, they made their own engine that requires the original game to be installed (of note, and why they are not shut down is they DO NOT have ANY of EA's copyrighted artwork/sounds etc... in any of the Exult distribution downloads. Just the engine and tools that manipulate the original files). It uses all of the original art/sounds etc... but they manipulate those files with external programs to work with their own proprietary engine.
THAT is the ONLY 100% way you will not get a C&D letter from a Publisher. For the most part anyways....
