  • EA Salt Lake is a video game developer located in Bountiful, Utah, United States. It is owned by video game publisher Electronic Arts (EA). EA Salt Lake was founded by the studio's president, Vance Cook, as Headgate Studios in 1992. As a veteran programmer for years at Access Software, the onetime premier developer of golf simulations, Cook had the experience and knowledge of how to create a rewarding golfing experience. Headgate's first product was PentaCalc, a scientific calculator for Windows. From 1996 to 1999, Headgate solely developed golf games published by Sierra Entertainment under Sierra's Front Page Sports brand. In April 1996 the studio was purchased by Sierra. The golf product was later branded as PGA Championship Golf. On 22 February 1999 Sierra announced a major restructuring of their company, and sold the rights of the original studio back to Cook as a new corporate entity. In 2000, Headgate began publishing games through Electronic Arts. Headgate began developing Tiger Woods PGA Tour for the PC based on their existing golf engine. They were assigned by EA to develop the title on PC, PS2, Wii and Xbox for the 2007 title, and the PC, PS2, and Wii for the 2008 title, with the Xbox line getting cut by EA. Headgate developed every Windows version of the EA Sports Tiger Woods golf franchise from 2001 to 2007. Headgate's golf games consistently got high praise from industry reviewers and have won numerous industry awards. On 1 December 2006, Headgate Studios was acquired by Electronic Arts. Headgate was redubbed EA Salt Lake. The studios' focus was redirected to developing games for Nintendo's new console, the Wii.
  • EA Salt Lake (aiemmin Headgate Studios) on yhdysvaltalainen videopelikehittäjä, jonka omistaa Electronic Arts. EA Salt Laken päämaja sijaitsee Bountifullissa, Utahissa. Vance Cook perusti EA Salt Laken vuonna 1992 nimellä Headgate Studios. Koska Cook oli aiemmin toiminut Acces Softwaren ohjelmoijana, hänellä oli kokemusta golf-pelien kehittämisestä. Ensimmäisinä vuosinaan yritys kehittikin ainoastaan golf-pelejä, joiden julkaisijana toimi lähes aina EA. Kehittäjitiimi golfasi yleensä viikoittain yhdessä saadakseen kosketusta käsittelemäänsä aiheeseen. Headgate Studios kehitti jokaisen Windowsille julkaistun EA Sportsin Tiger Woods golf-pelin vuodesta 2001 vuoteen 2006 asti. Yrityksen golf-pelit saivat yhtenään hyviä arvosteluja ja voittivat lukuisia palkintoja. EA osti Headgate Studiosin 1. joulukuuta 2006, ja antoi sille uuden nimen EA Salt Lake. Pelitalon voimavarat suunnataan pelien kehittämiseen Nintendon uusimmalle konsolille Wiille.
