This system cleans up some of the more glaring problems with the old Vampire system. It standardizes the storyteller system, and while the Larp rules haven't come out yet, rumor is that they'll use the exact same stats for LARP, instead of the vile dreck that passed for the old LARP system.
Also, as a setting, it does a good job of bringing back the mystery that existed in the early days of the original Vampire: the Masquerade game. By wiping out the bulky bits of Vampire History and starting with a clean slate, they might be able to build something much more interesting than the rather poor writing that festered in the middle of V:tM's run.
