Does anyone know what language the background sound effects are in when you're in a friendly town? It sounds like a bunch of Italians speaking to me. I recognize a few words and intonations, but it's driving me crazy to find out! Posts: 3 | Registered: Sunday, March 12 2006 08:00 |

I think the idea was to make sound which resembles language, but not communication. If it were true language, anyone who spoke the language would hear the same phrases over and over while in town. -------------------- quote: Posts: 1115 | Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00 |

But I do hear the same phases over and over. Someone (a female that sounds just like my mother I might add!) says "let's eat later" in Italian or could be Portuguese since the language is simular. I know it's a loop of sounds, tinkering,etc. & I know it's not intentional to the game. I was just wondering what the sound effect was comprised of. It's definetely not jiberish!

Chances are it's a mix of languages. Afterall, Jeff wouldn't likely do favorism of one country other then the USA. -------------------- Pass the sauerkraut and chips please. Posts: 1186 | Registered: Friday, June 18 2004 07:00 |

And I know enough Italian to know that it is not. To me it is def jiberish, sometimes something may sound like a word but it's probably not. Therefore, I'll agree with Thuryl and say that if played backwards, you will hear the voice of Satan. Or perhaps JV saying "register the game, register the game, register the game. Edit: And it's not Portuguese or Spanish either. It could be a mix of all the above and jiberish though :P [ Monday, March 13, 2006 05:29: Message edited by: Marlenny ] Posts: 1035 | Registered: Friday, April 1 2005 08:00 |

I'm Italian. Born & raised in Ischia, Italy. I speak 2 languages & I thought I could hear a conversation in the background or sound track of a group speaking like maybe taken in a outdoor market place or party or gathering but I couldn't make it out. Sorry, I just thought someone else heard it too, but I guess not. Maybe it's my imagination! I love the idea that played backwards it might say "register the game..." that cracked me up! Thanks all. frenchy Posts: 3 | Registered: Sunday, March 12 2006 08:00 |

Sometimes when you can't make out the words in a speach you are hearing, your brain fills it in with random words you know. For example, sometimes I think I hear Russian or English words when people are speak a foreign language I don't know. The same effect is probably going on here.

I don't think I could help you much with it, since I can understand Italian easily but have a hard time writing it. But I wish you all the luck in the world with it Posts: 1035 | Registered: Friday, April 1 2005 08:00 |

DISCLAIMER: Sorry this topic is about a week old, but the boards are a little slow anyway. You'd think Mr. Vogel would answer this... I suppose he's the only one who knows for sure. In Geneforge and GF2, the cities had the same sound effects. The Geneforge towns were populated by serviles, and that high pitched babbling ("AI-chai-chai CHAI-cha, AI pa-pa sai" was stuck in my head) made the impression that Serviles have high voices. I buy that. They do have ridiculously long noses (which I don't like about them really) ... in GF2, I'm just assuming it would have been too much trouble to make new sounds, despite the fact that the cities were also full of humans or Drayks. The GF3 cities sound like they were produced; the "smithy" has got to be a spoon on a plate, and the voices are extraordinarily well-done. They sound very, very near to real language. Perhaps they are one. But not one that I know. Sounds kind of Middle-Eastern to me. The only clear voices are two women, rolling their r's a lot. That's my contribution. -------------------- One of these words is mispelled. Posts: 284 | Registered: Tuesday, January 31 2006 08:00 |
