Description
Radio devices present disparate solutions to offer audio stimuli inside the game world (i.e., in a diegetic way).
It is fairly common to came across Radios in open-world games. Clearly, the inclusion of these objects in the game world is a sound design decision.
Radios may only convey Diegetic Music but many times they serve the Narrative, or act as Helper Voice by providing information relevant to the Gameplay. There are also cases of Radios playing a role during Stealth performance.
Radios are related but different from Audio Logs. The latter usually present scattered and anachronical pieces of past testimonies, and serve distinctive purposes.
Examples
Considering that this is still a candidate pattern, we present more examples then usually, to better support the discussion.
