Description
It is fairly common to came across Radios in open-world games. The inclusion of this objects in the game world is evidently a sound design decision.
They may only convey Diegetic Music but many times they serve the Narrative, or act as Helper Voice by providing information relevant to the Gameplay. They may also play 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.
