For those of you who haven't been following its development, this is the fan-made remake/reimagining of the original Half-Life in the Source Engine. Not like HL:S where they just tossed in the water effects and new skyboxes, but literally work done from the ground up. Here are some images that say more than I ever could. And keep in mind that some of them are two years old and have undergone considerable changes since. I'll give you time to put something underneath your jaw to catch it.
Check out their site here for more information.
Melodic:
Nice to see it coming along so well. Looking forward to it next year.
Nodaisho:
My chin was on my fist. That was a lucky co-incidence, otherwise I would have dislocated it. That must be on the highest of high settings, because that is the most detailed in-engine stuff I have seen. I think the last panorama was a photo, it doesn't look like CG normally looks.
KvP:
They don't seem to have public progress reports from what I can see, so it's firmly in the "I'll believe it when I play it" category. Another (less ambitious, actually) fan project I was following, the KOTOR2 Restoration mod, seemed directly headed for a release (there are currently 34 bugs left to iron out, 889 already resolved) but the project lead abruptly dropped out and it's pretty much dead in the water. Fan mods are never a sure shot.
Nodaisho:
Well, some people haven't played the original. Some people love the game enough that a graphically-updated version is their wet dream (though the change in physics might make it too different). I'd download it, I've played the game through once, except for the nihilanth. (final boss, right?) I jumped in his head, started shooting with rockets or gluon gun, but he would shoot me through his own head and I wouldn't be able to dodge, because it is coming out of the goddamn ground- er... brain. Honestly, if I could get it to run smoothly at anything close to that framerate, I would download it just for the eyecandy.
