Unused Text and Dialogue

This is a sub-page of WALL•E (PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Windows, Mac OS X).

To do: Check for more text and more dialogue. Some lines are marked in the TCRF filenames as "PossiblyUsed", those seemed familiar but I was not certain. Describe "level labels" better.

Asobo Studio's WALL•E has way too much unused dialogue, and the way this game works, almost all dialogue has text counterparts in the TransText files. While tt01.pc (American English text file) has many of these dialogue lines blanked out, tt10.pc (British English text file) has nearly everything present. FMTK Wiki describes how to extract audio out of Zouna Sound Bigfiles (.SDX files on Windows).

Some of the subtitles don't match the spoken lines exactly or have minor errors.

Hub Text#

These appear to be from when in development the game had the hub areas. Unlike the level names that would've appeared on the loading screens, these would've likely appeared in pop-up textboxes in the hubs.

TT 3116 "Access denied."
TT 3117 "Restricted Area."
TT 3118 "You cannot enter this area yet."
TT 3107 "Follow the red dot"
TT 3110 "the Earth Playground"
TT 3111 "the Commercial District"
TT 3112 "the Trash Towers"
TT 3113 "the Shipyard"
TT 3114 "the Earth Speedway"
TT 3115 "the Axiom"
TT 3120 "the trash area"
TT 3125 "the Repair Ward"
TT 3130 "the Main City"
TT 3140 "the docking bay"
TT 3145 "the Axiom's speedway"
TT 3150 "the Earth"

BnL Tune-Up Phases#

Looks like the Earth advertiser was supposed to announce the tutorial phases in a separate voice line.

Earth Adverts#

TT 8030, 8035 and 8041 sound more like gameplay advice though.

Earth Shops#

Those were supposed to be in the game, apparently.

More Earth Adverts#

Earth Gameplay Narration#

It appears that the Earth and Axiom background advertisers were also supposed to comment when WALL-E's time limit and "supplies" (probably the health and/or laser) are low. It's... probably for the better that this odd gameplay element was scrapped.

Axiom Shops#

Looks like some of those were repurposed for background advertisements.

Axiom Gameplay Narration#

It appears that TT 8249 was repurposed for background advertising, so it's provided here for context as it is used.

Axiom Adverts#

Real-Time Cinematic After Under Pressure#

Presumably, there was supposed to be an in-game cutscene to follow the scrapped chapter Under Pressure (we'll get to it). In the final, what's left of the chapter and the real-time cinematic is a Bink prerendered video cutscene with these lines embedded. Some of these recordings are not filtered.

Rogue Robots#

The Axiom background voice was supposed to say this, evidently in relation to all the "intruder" and "rogue robots" stuff.

Under Pressure#

Lines of speech presumably related to this scrapped chapter. It begins with a lengthy message from the ship's captain (which had one message excluded from the Sound Bigfile and blanked out from the TransText file) that rivals the unused recipe from Ratatouille, and continues with lines for the level itself, in which the player presumably had to do something as WALL-E while the captain fights AUTO, and EVE makes her belated arrival to the Holo-Detector. Some of AUTO's messages were repurposed for puzzle doors, and will not be listed here.

Security Doors and Other Machinery#

Besides unused lines of speech for doors and laser charge dispensers (including alternate takes of used lines), there are also mentions of a security device of some sort that doesn't appear in the final game.

Axiom#

Some lines are not filtered again.

AUTO#

Miscellaneous lines including AUTO's best Gandalf impression.

Earth#

Back to our scheduled doors, laser gambling machines and "security devices".

BnL Tune-Up Intro and Outro#

These two lines are embedded into the Bink video cutscenes in the final game, but they are also unused as voice clips.

More Unfiltered Axiom Lines#

TT 9133 is somehow the first voice clip in the English sound bigfile - it appears to be another line they recorded for the cutscene after Under Pressure.

Artifact Names#

Every artifact has a name in text that is not used. Metronome, Sticky tape, Car keys and Sticky hand are entirely unused in the final game.

TT 10500 "Ball"
TT 10501 "Generic Doll"
TT 10502 "Distress Rocket"
TT 10503 "Plunger"
TT 10505 "Telescope"

TT 10514 "Traffic cone"
TT 10515 "Jewel box"
TT 10517 "Nodding dog"
TT 10518 "Ski goggles"

TT 10524 "Car keys"
TT 10526 "Boomerang"
TT 10529 "Spring popping eyeball glasses"
TT 10532 "Paddle with ball attached by elastic"
TT 10533 "Sticky hand"
TT 10534 "Rex from Toy Story"
TT 10535 "Pair of binoculars"

Hints#

These look like they would go on a loading screen like in FUEL (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Windows), but the loads in this game aren't that long even in the console versions.

TT 10584 "D-FIB can help you force open some BnL Security Doors."
TT 10585 "Umbrella-bot will help you to reach high places with a bounce."

Level Labels#

These might have been used in the debug level select menu (which doesn't seem to exist in the final game) to mark levels by type.

TT 15000 "Reference Level"
TT 15001 "Dioramas"
TT 15002 "Others"
TT 15003 "Race %d"

Outtakes#

If this all was not enough, there are a couple of unused lines in the Sound Bigfile that don't correspond to any lines in the British text file.

BnL Tune-Up Outtakes#

These two are similar to two lines of speech that are used and have text lines for them.

AUTO Outtakes#

These don't seem to correspond to any text lines at all.
