So...this is pretty much a generic FPS with the Goldeneye title and locations slapped on?

This doesn't scream cash-in at all!

First of all, if they are overhauling the graphics of those locations, it's a bit more effort than that term implies.

Second of all, that term is stupid, since any major game that isn't for cash is a slap in the face to basic economics.

Third of all, I do understand this game isn't a guaranteed success regardless.

Maybe I'm missing something, what does this have to do with Goldeneye other than the name and location names?

How I read it, they're going to be the same location names but they're going to be redesigned.

Calling it a "cash-in", as though making a game for money is bad. The fallacy is that assumes that nothing good comes out of things done solely for money (and for some people assuming nothing bad comes out of not doing it for the money). Super Smash Bros was a cash-in game. It wasn't even going to be localized due to its small budget.

As for the locations, I'm waiting on what they are doing, since this still isn't official.
