EA just released source code for a bunch of old games

[Solarion]

I have a diseased mind that only wants one thing—a proper remaster of Tiberian Sun, much like Red Alert and OG Command and Conquer got back in 2020 with the release of the Command and Conquer: Remastered Collection.

Well, I haven't got it yet, but I have got a decent second prize: EA's announced that it's releasing the source code for a bunch of old C&C games and—here's the bit where I, as a man who enjoys modding but is also very lazy, gets excited—adding Steam Workshop support to a few more.

Would love a remaster of tiberian sun, though you can play it fine on modern machines.

Someone out there is going to rework it just like someone did with the Tomb Raider series. Eventually.

Interesting to see the ask code for rendering transparent sprites in Red Alert.

The original C&C is what got me hooked on gaming. It will always be one of my favourites. That and Red Alert 2 were all I played pretty much all of my high school days. So glad to see it getting some love

C&C and red alert had a remaster 5 years ago already which wasn't to bad

This seems like perfect job for LLMs to port titles, assuming they can actually code
