EA’s Classic Remasters Trace Back to Storage Room Find

A report describes how EA's recent wave of classic PC remasters began when an employee found nearly 20,000 old game assets stored away in a storage room. EA Senior Producer Jim Vessella then spent two years working with community modders to restore material for seven remasters that have now been released on Steam. The archival process is said to have preserved an estimated 2,500 hours of historical footage, material later used in EA's broader re-release of 25 classic PC games on Steam and GOG.
