Really no-one? Would be a pity because the quality seems to be excellent!

Played around without success... Some files look like raw PCM, others like some ADPCM variant. Anyone else?

Did you try throwing a RIFF WAVE header on it and see what it sounds like?

I uploaded samples so that people could try out some things...
I tried to open the files as RAW with every combination but nothing works. It's some ADPCM compression by the look of the stream. Can anyone help? Thanks

Look at these files in a hex editor with 0x21 bytes per row - you'll see that this is a completely new format. Maybe there will be other games that use the format, so maybe someone could post any known information about it like links or specs?

It's the same codec but this is little endian compared to the big endian stuff in 007.

So that means that it's playable, which is great - just need some header specs now! If you would be so kind... ;)

Well, not yet at least. Trying to figure out how to add support to them in vgmstream without causing conflicts with the other BAF files. The PS3 version uses the same codec and are pretty much the same files except for the fact that they're the playable ones at the moment. Search around for it if you know where it is.

Well if you need people to help test I'd be interested in lending a hand.

Modding Blur is one of my side goals/projects now.
