Unused ambient sound (Japanese radio/tv broadcast?)

Postby BlueMue » Thu Feb 05, 2015 6:13 pm

I was messing around Shenmue's ambient sound in hope I could find and isolate the shamisen tracks and I found one very interesting file.

It sounds like something that's supposed to come out of a radio or TV, like a weather report or commercial where someone is talking in Japanese. It's really low quality and hard to understand but maybe someone here can make out what the guy says?

That is interesting...has to be something like a radio clip or something that would've played in a building somewhere?

That's a weather forecast. Could be the one you hear on the phone when you dial 177.

The one on the telephone is way different though, works like a dialogue, right?
Maybe they originally intended to use this instead? Though the choice of packing it into as ambient sound is strange.

That was my first thought, but like BlueMue said, I thought those were way more intelligible than this one.

Do me a huge favor and send me either the original file or the hex code that represents it.

I can probably locate references to it in the mapinfo files and thus we might get an idea as to where it might be used.

I do find it funny how even the smallest thing excites people. It's simple...

"Hey, we're gonna use a different audio style instead."
"Sorted."

And they all lived happily ever after.

It's this file that's in the scene/sound folder: http://www.mediafire.com/download/ens9y ... AMB033.SND

I had Ryo call 177. Yes, the phone voice was recorded by a woman and much clearer, though it's not a dialogue kind. Also, this muffled man's forecast covers much wider area than the phone's which covers only Kanagawa prefecture.
It's rather for the radio. If it's sorted as "ambient sound," they were planning to use it as background sound in some restaurant, maybe?

Im doing a recursive search through all of the SCENEXX/XXXX to look for this file to see if its referenced anywhere.

I was not able to find anything for this file in any of the mapinfo files viaa hex searching.
