Five Nights at Freddy's

[Allio]

anyone play this game yet? feels like one of the best horror games in forever

[ThirdMarioBro]

Haven't seen it yet. From the description, it sounds like somebody had a bad trop at Chuck E. Cheese/Showbiz Pizza as a kid, lol. Sounds like a blast of a game.

[Ninjinister]

Never heard of it until today when suddenly 6 different people posted about it on Facebook in the course of an hour. Looks interesting... I'll have to look into playing it myself since I can't stand these Youtube wanks overreacting to every little noise.

[Netkeeper]

Can someone explain to me what the **** this is and why I'm hearing about it everywhere today?

[Ninjinister]

Can someone explain to me what the **** this is and why I'm hearing about it everywhere today?

Dunno why it's all over everywhere today either. But it's a horror game... you play as a night watchman at a Chuck E. Cheese's sort of place, but the animatronics are serial killer robots.

I loved that game, ive played it, and made it to day 5, but can never beat it

[Mutant Ninja Anole]

Haven't bought the game, but I feel almost obligated to, despite my tentativeness with horror games and jumpscares especially, because the let's plays and fan art and other creations almost merits the $5 alone on the fun it's given me.

It's impressive when you realize it is a single person who made the game. The creepy design, the way the game seems set up to inflict paranonia, designed to panic you into wasting on your power on the doors and camera when you don't need to. But ultimately the whole thing has a subtext of humor to it. Chuck E Cheese style monsters? The fact that the guard keeps coming back, just to get a $4 an hour wage? The very fact that your horrible fate is being stuck in a costume? The glee of watching people freak out when that chicken pops up on your screen? Priceless.

My favorite fan art is the work that makes the horrible robot animals cute, like something kids would genuinely love during the day.

Omg yes, 5 nights at freddies is just an amazing game, it just sets that whole sense of "Isolation", and you know they are out there, you don't know where. And you don't know when they will come either. I love the feeling of playing it, its like that feeling of someone being in a pitch black room with you, but you don't know where they are. But you can feel their presence

[JH24]

After seeing someone on Youtube playing this game last week I wanted to try out the demo. Even though I was terrified I couldn't resist going back each time to give it another try.

Got the full game a few days ago and after building up some courage I was finally able to play this more seriously. Completing one night every day. What I find intriguing about this game is that it creates a feeling of helplessness and paranoia that make this a pretty unique experience. Each time I want to quit I find myself going back again and surviving a night gives a satisfying feeling.


Amazing game, especially considering one person has made it. Definitely worth the price if you like a bit of horror.

This game is truly horrifying, especially since 5 kids were killed there and supposedly stuffed into the suits!

Oh no... Two Foxy's? That's going to be a challenge.

[mexichrist83]

As a kid I went to a few parties at Chuck E Cheese and as much as I loved the animatronic characters (still do) I do have to admit that they were creepy as hell. The fact that the creepiness of those characters was used as a basis for a horror game delights me so much. I've seen some reaction videos to it and it looks like a blast! I'm thinking of buying it for my iPad.

[Davetello]

Looks immense, thinking about buying.

[oldmanwinters]

Heh, reminds me of that one episode (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcSOH3zEqf0) of Regular Show...

Very exciting. It eems it will be a great sequel, exceeding all expectations.

There are also some new screenshots:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=329921390

[Memphis]

I've been wanting to try it, but looks taxing. My computer had trouble just running Slender: The Arrival. Might be time to get a new one :/

[ssjup81]

I didn't even know of this game until a couple of weeks ago when I watched...

th_LYe97ZVc.

I love their channel. Anyway, I'm still tempted to try this game out, but I know my PC wouldn't be able to handle it with its screwed up keyboard and I wouldn't want to play it on my mobile phone.

That aside, the theory as to the inspiration for the first game is interesting and the thing he paralleled it to from 1993 I actually remember hearing about as a kid, as it spooked me back then.

[Allio]

Demo of Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is out tomorrow

early releases have already being show on youtube

[Netkeeper]

Demo? You mean the full game's out.

Go play it.

[Allio]

That was back when we were just told it was going to be the demo

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I actually enjoyed this game. I was scared at times but the more you play it. The less scared you become. I beat it and I was proud because it did get harder later on. But I never could pass the sixth night though.

Does anyone one what nights Foxy and Freddy come out?

[Netkeeper]

Foxy starts coming out on Night 2, I believe.

Also, Foxy's my favourite.

[JH24]

The sequel is definitely scarier to play. The doors at least gave you the illusion of some kind of safety, but here I was playing in an almost constant state of panic. Knowing that anything could pop up any moment.

Personally, I'm not too fond of the marionette addition. It feels forced. I would have liked it if the new animatronics would attack you with the mask and leave you alone without it. Being forced to rewind the music box adds a kind of pattern that reminds me of the close right door, check Foxy, check lights and repeat from FnAf 1.

Other than that it's definitely harder and more intense. Would have liked some more animation in the death scenes though, other than that it's a great sequel.

[JH24]

My apologies. Double post.

The sequel.

[Shiro Kame]

The marionette killed those children! I think the "guard" that was accused arrested was framed by that blasted thing! Check out the death minigame on youtube GIVE GIFTS GIVE LIFE!

[Netkeeper]

Has it been confirmed yet that FNAF2 is a prequel? Because I'm pretty sure it is, but I'm not 100%.

[Shiro Kame]

It IS a prequel because it took place according to the paycheck in 1987, and after Night 6, it is revealed that the current body guard, Jeremy, was moved to dayshift was either the victim of the bite of '87, a scapegoat, or at least a witness. I'm betting on the victim since the animatronics are only hostile against the adults, but interact with the kids just fine.

[Fang Wolf]

I've started playing it, At the first "JUMPSCARES" so jumping my heart almost out of my chest.

Yeah, but didn't the victim of the bite of '87 lose part of their brain? I'm pretty sure it had to have been a kid. Jeremy was probably a witness, though.

Also, somewhat relevant:
th_LYe97ZVc
While I don't necessarily agree with all of this, it has some really cool insight and facts.

EEE, Foxy in your signature!! I love it! I think I'm gonna draw Foxy later, I love him so much.

It's only just a theory

[Netkeeper]

http://i.imgur.com/6hVQm7j.png
Ah. The grasp of the obvious is strong with this one.

[Allio]

wasn't the reply I was hoping for, but whatever

[Shiro Kame]

The victim was probably an adult since the animatronics were only hostile towards the adults, and friendly towards the kids since ALL OF THEM are the spirits of murdered children haunting all of the animatronics.

[Fang Wolf]

I successful take me to Night 4..
So why behave animatronics more "Creepy" when you come to night 4?

[Shiro Kame]

They have had more than enough time to get smarter/mature. They are over 5 years old. And they are out for revenge.

Who's ready for Freddy?

I'm always ready for Freddy.

I honestly like the idea of the song being from the perspective of the parents that lost the kids

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

This game looks interesting. The only thing is I get very creeped out incredibly easilly with anything Horror, so I don't know if I'm able to play this.

[ssjup81]

I forgot about this thread, but anyway, did anyone watch the second Game Theory video in reference to Five Nights at Freddy's 2? They put it up early last month. Loved it, just like the first theory.

d1kw1RmzrPc

Like the beginning playing the Lavender Town theme. Anywho, the theory is interesting. Still wish someone could explain that darn Balloon Boy.

[JH24]

Nice, really enjoyed watching the video. Definitely learned some new things about the game's story/timeline.


Scott Cawthon updated his site with a little teaser:

http://www.scottgames.com/

[Darthknuxward]

I cannot wait!

[Shiro Kame]

Can't wait for the trailer for the third game. I think it's probably going to be a prequel since Golden Freddy has his eyes (I'm pretty sure GF was the original "Fredbear" before the brown design became mainstream.)

[Fang Wolf]

Can't wait for the trailer for the third game.

Will there be a third game of FNAF? :o
And I have now completed all 6 nights + custom night in the first game now.
Will now start with 2 of FNAF.

[Amaranthus]

I never understood how these games got so much praise.
It's a great story, but there's a lot of things wrong with it.
-Why would a restaurant with haunted animatronics need a night-guard? -It sounds unlikely that not one former night-guard hasn't told anyone about the animatronics yet and that the restaurant is still open.
-You can't walk. You just stare at monitors.

Being given the ability to walk would ruin the point of the game. Have you actually played it?

I haven't played them, but I can tell why they get so much praise.

The whole game(s) are built upon paranoia. It's everyone's biggest fear. A danger that you can't stop. Only prevent for a short while. 5 nights at a creepy restaurant where you can't quit.

[Amaranthus]

My attitude isn't very negative. It's just honest critique.
Do continue trying to insult me. It's hilarious.

I'm not? I've just seen you post a handful of times and every single time it has being negative and/or critical.

[Amaranthus]

I'm sure the fact that I don't like/criticize certain things makes me look like a complete ass

[Shiro Kame]

I'm trying to decide whether the 3rd game is another prequel or a sequel. It could be either considering what Scott Cawthon did with the 2nd one. If Golden Freddy was indeed Fredbear from Fredbear's Family Diner, then it would make sense why he suddenly has eyes.

[The Stryker]

I'm sure the fact that I don't like/criticize certain things makes me look like a complete ass

Having an opinion? Nah.

Coming in and essentially saying 'I don't know why you people like this crap! It sucks!' though.....alittle bit.

[Shiro Kame]

Has anyone seen the Five Nights at Freddy's 3 teasers yet? It's supposed to take place 30 years later after the second game (that would be 2017!), Golden Freddy states "I am still here.", and there's a box full of parts of all the toy model animatronics.

[Darthknuxward]

Yes!

What can we use?

[ssjup81]

So does this mean that game 3 will take place chronologically after game 2? Looks like the toy animatronics are about to be scrapped in that picture...possibly.

Edit: Never mind. Wonder if the killer will be revealed finally.

[Netkeeper]

Strange how that's supposed to work out. He's got all the old animatronics [or at least their parts] in that box.

I was hoping for another prequel, honestly.

[ssjup81]

You know, here's something I've been wondering about. After the second game, the toy animatronics were scrapped. I know this had to be done because of their not being around for the first game which takes place after game 2...but let's say that game didn't exist yet and had to stick with continuity, but I can't help but wonder...why in the world would they scrap the cute toy models and keep the creepy-looking ones. :lol: Think the theory that one of the toy models is responsible for the bite of '87 hence their being scrapped?

Oh, and out of curiosity, which animatronic do you find to be the creepiest of them and which one do you find to be the least creepy? I find Foxy to be the least creepiest. Even in the first game with his jumpscare, it looks like he's coming in to say hello because he's lonely being back in Pirate Cove all alone and in game 2, maybe he just wants to get a hug. :lol:

As for the creepiest one....Bonnie. Hands down. That one does creep me out. lol

Strange how that's supposed to work out. He's got all the old animatronics [or at least their parts] in that box.

I was hoping for another prequel, honestly.Storywise, I feel this would work better as another prequel. I know I'm not playing these games (my computer can't handle it anyway, with its acting wonky all the time and my not having the cash to purchase a new one, unless stateside), but the story for it has gotten my attention. I'm really interested in the story of these games.

I just don't see how that type of an establishment will fully function in this day and age. I know they still exist, but I haven't seen a promo for like Chuck E Cheese in years. They're just not all that big anymore, not like when I was a kid. Pizza, games, animatronics I never really paid any attention to and thus never found "scary" or "creepy" like other kids...what more could you ask for? lol

But seriously, 2017 and the place is still around and hanging on...seriously, what could the story be for that?

[Amaranthus]

Having an opinion? Nah.

Coming in and essentially saying 'I don't know why you people like this crap! It sucks!' though.....alittle bit.

Where did I state it sucks?
I said I was intrigued by the story. But the gameplay is lazy/boring.
I never said it sucked. Please stop putting words in my mouth.

[Shiro Kame]

Maybe it's the business closing down for good, and the company needing the security guard until they are able to get rid of the killer animatronics, and Golden Freddy having his revenge for being forgotten.

At first there were only empty shells, a hand, a hook, an old paper-plate doll, but then a remarkable discovery was made...

This. It has disaster (the attraction, not the game) written all over it.

I'm already reading comments on how Scott has let the fans down because there's supposedly only one animatronic. I can't believe how people have so little trust in him after what he delivered in the first two games.

It's guaranteed there are some big suprises in store for us. Having said that, I love the design of this (Bonnie?) animatronic.

[Darthknuxward]

Yes!!!!!!!

[Amaranthus]

So like this guy made 3 FNaF games in like what? A year?
Different graphics, but basically the same game.
He doesn't even bother to work out the story. That's why there's so many people making theories. Because he didn't bother writing a proper background story.
He's milking a cash-cow, and everybody's buying it.

Well, Fnaf2 did have 11 animatronics and like a million things to look out for, so having (supposedly) only 1 animatronic does seem like a bit of a let down.

Personally, I think that there is something that Scott isn't telling us something. I feel like this isn't like the other two games.

[Amaranthus]

If you don't like it, just let it be, man.

But I never stated I didn't like it. I just pointed out the flaws.

[Shiro Kame]

Maybe this animatronic is the Phone Guy/Purple Guy. The trailer states that "He always comes back. We have a place for him." The Purple Guy showed up at 3 Fazbear Entertainment establishments.

Maybe the point of the game is to prevent the animatronic from getting closer and closer to you.

[Allio]

Because he didn't bother writing a proper background story.

I don't know what you are talking about, the story has been pretty clear from the get go with each game clearing up some information (such as it was probably Mangled that did the bite of 87)

[Amaranthus]

I don't know what you're talking about.

In the prequel, it is explained why they're trashed. THey were originally being retro-fitted with new parts, but were abandoned when the company decided on replacing them with the cutesy Toy models. The background story being vague is what makes it so fun and allows the creator to add more lore and backstory in later installments.

That, and it makes people think about it, and come up with so many theories.

[Shiro Kame]

Scott just updated with a new teaser. Instead of 10 cams, it will include 5 extra in what appears to be secret location.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

I think this new animatronic is the original one from the original location.

Kinda looks like Bonnie

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

So I've just been playing the first game, and I can conclude only one thing: I'm terrible at it.

On night two, around 4 AM, I couldn't find Chica Anywhere. I thought she might have been in the Kitchen, but I didn't know. I panicked and shut both doors. I then ran out of power and got killed by Freddy

Also, on the first night, Foxy peeked his head from around the curtain. I thought foxy isn't supposed to become active until night 2?

[Allio]

he can on the first night, but it is rare. and he usually doesn't get a chance to attack.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

I got to night 4 by the skin of my teeth. Every night has ended with me running out of power, Freddy playing his jingle, going completely black, then the clock turns to 6 am.

he can on the first night, but it is rare. and he usually doesn't get a chance to attack.

Ah, I didn't know that.

[Leonardo322]

I have never played this game. I guess it won't have a port to Xbox 360, will it?

[Shiro Kame]

I have never played this game. I guess it won't have a port to Xbox 360, will it?

No, it's a Steam game, so it's only for the IOS and PC.

Also, it's important to only use the cameras and doors when absolute necessary.

[Leonardo322]

Okay. Maybe I will play it on PC sometime. Thanks for the gaming tip. :)

[Shiro Kame]

Okay. Maybe I will play it on PC sometime. Thanks for the gaming tip. :)

Another important thing is to check on Foxy and Freddy frequently with the cameras. It will keep Freddy from moving from the stage and killing you on the 4th and 5th night, and will keep Foxy from leaving Pirate's cove and insta-killing you. However, do not do this too frequently with Foxy, or else he will dash into the room and insta-kill you anyway.

[Allio]

game 3 is out

http://i.imgur.com/czGolPu.jpg

[Darthknuxward]

Aw, hell yes!

[Shiro Kame]

I finally found out the whole ending to the child murders and the whole deal behind the animatronic and why only one actually appears.

Turns out that the new animatronic IS the child murderer! He ended up getting hoisted by his own petard when he destroyed the original animatronics, which released the children's spirits. When they went after him, he panicked and went into the "SpringTrap" animatronic, which was a hybrid between an animatronic and wearable suit that could switch between those functions. And the sweet irony is that the unlucky guy was killed by the costume which I believe may have been used to killed the children. The gears that kept the animatronic parts compressed failed and crushed him to death, causing him to haunt SpringTrap for the rest of his days. PS He's not the phone guy

[JH24]

I watched several gameplay video's. I hate to admit it, but this is the first FnaF game I feel somewhat disappointed with. I don't know, but it doesn't draw me in like the others. When I watched gameplay video's of the first two games I immediately bought the game on Steam, but I don't have that urge with this one.

Maybe it's the feeling that there's only one animatronic, and the hallucinations get old fast IMHO.

Another problem is that the game (at least from what I've heard) doesn't have a Custom Night, which limits replayability. I still play Fnaf 1/2 every few days to try out different AI settings and have some fun challenges.

I loved Fnaf 1 for its atmosphere and interesting animatronics, I really enjoyed Fnaf 2 due to its smoother gameplay and many end-game challenges. I'm waiting for a demo for this one. If it turns out I enjoy the game after all, I'll definitely buy it.

I can't work up the nerve to actually play this game (I made if halfway through night 2 of FnAF1), but I really like following the story and theories. The 3rd game wrapped up (most of) the mysteries so I could see it being the final game, but with this creator who knows. :lol:

[ssjup81]

Wish the third game would've revealed who the purple guy is and why he killed the kids.

[Allio]

do you really need a reason other than he is a sick ****?

[Aaronardo]

do you really need a reason other than he is a sick ****?

Kinda. I mean, even sick ****s need a motive to really care about doing any of this, especially across 3 generations of animatronics.

[Fang Wolf]

Is there anyone who has tested FNAF 3?

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

I haven't played the game yet, but does the game give any clue to what Golden Freddy was supposed to be?

[Allio]

It's more than likely the second String suit that Phone guy mentions, along with the Spring Bonnie Suit (Springtrap)

[ssjup81]

It's more than likely the second String suit that Phone guy mentions, along with the Spring Bonnie Suit (Springtrap)So we have Springtrap... Does the original Bonnie attack in this game like the others (Freddy, Chica, Foxy)? I noticed there wasn't any Bonnie right off, unless Springtrap is supposed to representative him.do you really need a reason other than he is a sick ****?For me, yes. I want closure, and being a mystery buff, I like knowing what people's motives are for killing as well as who. Was it the phone guy?

Also, as it was mentioned, the purple guy has done this over generations. Why this chain? Why this company? If he's a child killer, did he murder any over the years the place was closed? Why show up again after all this time after being absence for so long? What was he doing?

I dunno, I just want more answers.

[Mellie]

Golden Freddy is such a mystery :ohwell: I think the only thing we learned is Golden Freddy and Golden Bonnie were the original two animatronics from the first location. They had 'animatronic mode' and a 'suit mode' controlled by spring locks. They.. didn't work out so well and were quickly discontinued.

I can understand this. I like to imagine that the reason Purple man chooses children over adults is because kids are more honest about pain.

I had an idea for a spin-off game

*It's a simulator
*You can dissect an animatronic
you can chose from the main 5
*You tear into it, perhaps because of being mad that Foxy kills you everytime in 2 or 1
*you win
*The player you play as turns around to put on a Purple jacket
*he puts on a security badge
*You were playing as the purple man
*You were just killing the children

I believe that "Goldie" was the suit the murderer wore when he committed the crimes. That would explain why Springtrap/Golden Bonnie backfired and killed him. He didn't use it, and that resulted in Springtrap failing due to time and lack of care, and killing the murderer in a karmic death.

[mexichrist83]

I don't understand how the release of the FNAF games is considered milking a cashcow. If you want to see an example of that look at what was done with Angry Birds. Those games were so overrated and the merchandising was ridiculously and embarrassingly bordering on Star Wars and Kiss levels. Sure, FNAF is getting a movie but the game has enough of an intriguing backstory that it could very well make a good movie if put in the right hands. The same can't be said about the Angry Birds movie. Is that even still getting made?

Do people consider the release of FNAF games milking a cashcow because of how fast each one was released? The FNAF games are definitely not game changers for video games but I think most people enjoy them for the mystery and unravelling of the story. Most fans of the game seem to be more interested in unlocking the secrets within the game and mini games and playing detective with the clues that are given about the story itself. I appreciate that these games give fan's just enough to get so involved and be creative enough to come up with so interesting theories about what really happened and how it all ties in to each other. I have not played the games but I read a lot about the game because I want to know the whole story too.

While the games are considered just cheap jump scares and they can be there is also a lot of atmosphere and tension building until the scare and that makes good horror. It's the creepiness of the situation, the visuals (what you see and don't see) and the sounds (what you hear and don't hear) that makes the game scary. The same can be attributed to some of the best horror movies as well.

No? You're talking about what amounts to the same game released 4 times in the span of a year VS a SERIES, spanning multiple genres and experienced, being released over the span of multiple years.

Mario being IN a game doesn't make it a Mario game. What you're implying is something people who generally don't know very much about games implies.

Assassin's Creed is milked. Call of Duty is milked. Annual sports franchises are milked. Five Nights at Freddy's is being (rightfully) milked.

[Coola Yagami]

Finally worked up the courage to buy and play the game. I don't know why... it's just... I don't even want to see it on my desktop to be honest. I was even dreading DL-ing Steam cause I knew exactly what I was DL-ing it for.

But yeah, the game went from being scary and creepy to just being frustrating and pissing me off. I like the first one and the general concept of it. MAYBE I'll get 2... but not 3.. And probably not 4.

I don't know... I know for a series to survive, the story has to change and evolve and escalate.... but I just liked the idea of a seemingly innocent pizzeria where you get hired to work and only when it's too late you discover the buggers are out to get you. But purposely making it into a horror attraction kinda ruined it for me... and now they look flat out demonic in the 4th game? That's going far beyond seemingly innocent animatronics coming after you at a pizzeria after hours. It's just starting to get too out of left field for me.

I don't play many games, unless it's something that actually interests me...or something old. Most newer game series don't interest me much, such as Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, etc., but I know what they are.

I guess imo, though Mario's character is milked. He's been in everything.

So Purple guy who is Spring Trap?
So it Purple guy's rotting corpse in Spring Trap or it's gone?

- Today when I play FNAF 3, Jumping heart next out of my chest as Spring trap came from nowhere. -

[Coola Yagami]

So..... the Puppet sent the robots after you in the prequel. The robots themselves were possessed in the original. No comment on Springtrap. But when you take into account that the prequel was actually a re-opening of another resteraunt after the robots have been known for stuffing people into suits and cause it to close down.... so what the hell cause THOSE robots to kill people before the Purple Guy started killing kids?

And even without the killer robots into account, they were making employees wear suits that can screw up and stab 'em to death. The Fazzbear franchise has ALWAYS been ****ed up, even without the supernatural elements.

EDIT- Oh yeah... Nightmare Foxy is up.

So...is this game (series?) actually worth it? I was always curious when I heard about it, this was before the second game came out. How is the gameplay? I don't care how much they've milked the game and if the sequels are the same as 1, if 1 is interesting I'm tempted to get it(them). I grew up going to ShowBiz Pizza so this game seems right up my alley, unless part of the fun of the game was being a part of the community when the games were coming out..

It's a fun game all on its own, though I will admit my experience was much more memorable when people were watching me, it's still a fun game to play alone. And I'd say they're worth it, the games are very cheap.

[ssjup81]

So, new teaser or whatever is out. Weird...it's taking place in a house this time and the trailer feels loke a horror movie trailer.

[JH24]

@ ssjup81


Thank for the information. I was pretty disappointed with the third game (never finished it) but I'm actually pretty hyped/excited for this one. It's good to see that the old animatronics (or whatever they are) are back.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-taWymx1WI

[Shiro Kame]

Here's the trailer: A-taWymx1WI

Here's what I think's going on:

After the fire that consumed Fazbear's Fright, Springtrap's body was broken to the point of being unable to function properly and be able to kill as he was in life as the Purple Guy/murderer. To fix this, he transferred his body into a toy plush of himself. Later on, at Fazbear Fright's auction, parents bought their child the Plushtrap. As a result, Plushtrap is now trying to murder the child with hallucinations of the animatronics in the child's dreams, carrying out his murders Freddy-Kruger style. The child must now live through five nights of terror, his parents unable to help him as he traverses his home in his dreams.

Here's the evidence:

The animatronics have the word "Nightmare" hidden in them, the Plushtrap image has a purple guy icon hidden in the image, Springtrap was shown to be alive in the ending, and since the trailer shows a child's bedroom, then that has to mean that the phrase "What have you brought home?" has to mean that an item is what's causing these deadly literal nightmares.

[DarkLightDragon]

I've heard it might have something to do with the Bite of '87' or it's aftermath. Some of the teaser posters featuring each of the animatronics have writing saying, "WAS IT ME?" OR "MAYBE IT WAS ME?"

Of course it's never been revealed who exactly was the victim, whether it was an employee or child, but perhaps you'll be playing as the victim this time around, who, now possibly crippled and mentally damaged from having the frontal lobe removed, now suffers from nightmares and hallucinations throughout his/her home reminiscent of the attack.

That's just my guess though.

[JH24]

Five Nights at Freddy's 4 available now on Steam:

So I've seen some vids about this game. I thought this was supposed to have been taking place in 1983, but seems it's about the bite of '87...

Either way, seems there are still a ton of questions left unanswered like the Purple Guy stuff and his identity. Look forward to Game Theory. lol

[The Stryker]

It's Fredbear/Golden Freddy. Okay, whatever, it wasn't even the animatronic's fault, but why did the boy's brother shove him in there? Just to be a d-bag? (Pardon my langue.) How did the animatronics get in the house anyway? And why did FredBear/Golden Freddy have a freaking mouth in his stomach?! How were any of their designs child friendly? Those were their actual designs, not just some dream.



Nah. Those were nightmare versions. Which means they were
all hallucinations of some kind. Kid was traumatized by his brother and his friends to be terrified of the Fazbear characters or whatever.

In the extras menu they're all listed as 'Nightmare (Name)' even.

Also Springtrap is right behind Golden Freddy in the night 5 cutscene.

I like it being in and out sorta there/not there.

[Coola Yagami]

The main problem is that this game contradicts so much. This game acts like it explains how the Bite of 87 happened... but it implies it happened at the Fredbear Family Diner.... a restaurant that was closed down before it was re-opened as Freddy Fazzbears.... But yet, FNAF2 ends with the implication that it's a re-opening of Freddy Fazzbears and that the final day before it gets shut down (again) would be for one last birthday party, which would be the Bite of 87.

So did it take place at Fredbear's or at Fazzbear's? It can't be both. And then there's a tv screen in the game that says 1983 on it.... what?

Even if the game wasn't in 1987 but in 1983 instead.... how far back does the history of Freddy go??? Kids were already wearing Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy masks and a girl even owned toys of the new Toy Animatronics from FNAF2.... the grand re-opening?

If it was bad enough that we had to swallow facial recognition software in 1987.... but in 1983....???? This game just contradicted so much. I don't think whatever little DLC Scott has in store will clear all of this up.

There's still the mystery of what the hell Shadow Bonnie was and why he was lurking around the Fredbear Family Diner.

[Shiro Kame]

I think the '83 of Fredbear's was just the (C) thingy. A lot of companies have the date of their product's distribution with the copyright. Fredbear's was probably being still used before being remodeled or shut down since they had already moved to a new location, and kept the old one open before they shut it down.

Or it could be that it was the new location, but they were using the Spring models because of "problems" with the Toy animatronics and the originals being mostly dismantled. They still had the golden suits left over at the time, so that's why goldie and springtrap are still around.

Also, the reason the animatronics are in the house is because they're the nightmares of the child due to his trauma of them caused by his jerkass of an older brother freaking him the f*** out by them.

[Unworthy tinker]

Aaand the end. For good this time. I think.

http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20150802235914/freddy-fazbears-pizza/images/0/08/Thankyou.jpg

There's something in Golden Freddy's eye. Am I the only one who thinks it means he was the fifth head at the end of game three? Everyone else is reading into it as "THERE'S A FIFTH GAME COMING". :lol:

[Unworthy tinker]

Well. Now the main series is over for good, buuut, get ready for the franchise to continue with, drum roll please, FNAF world!

Admittedly, they seem too cutesy and I think it is a pointless addition, but at the same time, it seems like a complete build-your-world/level thing, which I love. Dunno, gotta wait to hear more I guess.

Hey, wasn't there supposed to be some kind of announcement or dlc or something regarding FNaF 4 on October 31?

[sdp]

I think I'll wait for the steam summer sale and get the four games for cheap as a bundle. I was tempted because it was 50% off for the halloween sale bu I won't be playing them anytime soon so might as well wait. Like I mentioned earlier in the thread I loved Showbiz Pizza as a kid so this game seems interesting to me but I don't know if I'd love the sequels/story beyond the first one.

So the new game is an RPG? doesn't seem interesting, I thought based on the title that it would've been a sim game where you are the owner of Freddy's. That would've been a cool idea.

A Five Nights of Freddy's novel is coming up soon on 22 december 2015. According to Amazon the book has 464 pages. Also soon available on Kindle. (E-reader, should also work with Kindle App)

[Ninjinister]

Should he really be trying for another sequel/spinoff so soon after the whole FNaF World debacle? As I understand that game STILL isn't really fixed.

[The Deadman]

He needs to stop pumping these games out at a rapid rate. He was what...releasing a game every 4 months?

[Ninjinister]

I would say he should keep striking when the iron is still hot... But then, again, see FNaF World. Great idea in concept, but it was broken like a prom night condom because it was so rushed, and now he's not making squat off of it.

Honestly I'm surprised he hasn't done a digital HD bundle of all 4 main games for console yet. That's pretty much guaranteed money.

[sdp]

Yeah I don't blame him I would be doing the exact same thing. FNAF is hot with the mainstream right now and you need new product. I mean s I see FNAF stuff everywhere it just doesn't make sense to not release stuff. Now if the quality isn't good then he's setting himself up to end this fad faster but that's on him to decide if he wants a quick cash-in or really put effort into it which is hard with how big this franchise has become to be able to please everyone. Maybe the RPG was just something he got overwhelmed by and this could be a terrible spin-off but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Like I mentioned in this thread before what I would like is a sim game where you are the owner of the pizza place. And counting that they're making a movie I'm sure we'll get a release for consoles sooner rather than later.

And holy crap! Their faces are opening! Add that to the list of games I'll never play because I'm a pansy!

[Shark_Blade]

A fan game is shockingly lightyears waay better than FNAF.

[Shiro Kame]

You know...I remember that at least 11 children were killed by Purple Guy...The classic animatronics, Golden Freddy, and Puppet make six...and there are 4-5 animatronics in the new game (it's 5 if you count ventriloquist Bonnie that "Freddy" is holding)...So it makes sense why these animatronics are haunted.

What do you think these models' series is gonna be called? The Doll Animatronics?

[Ninjinister]

he said there is talk with some publishers to get it to consoles.

If I remember correctly that statement went out after I said that :lol:

[Shiro Kame]

They're already making fan music for this:

Bought them and played the first game, really novel, pretty short but that works out. I don't understand where they get all the mythology from but I'm reading all these crazy FNAF 1 mythology from two years ago :lol: Not reading any articles from after the second game came out since they'll spoil the other games. I suck at the game though, I'm not very good.

I also re-watched that Showbiz Pizza Documentary called "Rock-a-fire Explosion the movie", it's on youtube and if you don't know what Showbiz Pizza is or have seen this movie watch it since it's the inspiration for this game.

The mythology originally came from during certain times in a certain location, you would find newspaper articles concerning what was really going on. This led to over a year of theories and stories concerning the franchise.

[ssjup81]

Welp, since FNaF 5 will be coming out...eventually, Game Theory has done another theory regarding it. As Matt said, he was trying to get the "jump" on Scott. Interesting theory as always...

dvJmKxiST4M

[Allio]

gonna need to finish reading Silver eyes.

[ssjup81]

gonna need to finish reading Silver eyes.I need to start. Forgot there was even a FNaF book, until the theory pointed it out. If I'd known that the identity of "Purple Guy" was in it, I definitely would've checked it out. I don't play the games....but the lore has piqued my interest since the first game. ^^

[sdp]

Well I started FNAF 2 and I'm very confused with the lore and this game is much more difficult for me, I can't finish it.

[ssjup81]

Well I started FNAF 2 and I'm very confused with the lore and this game is much more difficult for me, I can't finish it.*Points to Game Theory* lol

[sdp]

Well finished FNaF2 and it was a good sequel, I didn't like the puppet or the balloon kid at first but the other ideas worked and I grew to like the puppet. Still not a fan of the balloon kid as he doesn't even fit the theme of the game. The game adds a bunch of things and even if it's more of the same it works with the new additions.

Played FNaF3 and only reached the third night, I don't even now how I reached the third night since I never understood how to play the game. Granted I didn't spend too much time on the game before moving on. I'm not a fan of the Freddy theme park idea it seems a little too much of a jump the shark idea for me. It's also too complicated with all the tapes, all the camera's and the tape ducts and whatever. The old suits being only "spirits" that don't kill you I have mixed feelings about but I like that there is only one suit even if I didn't understand how to survive in this game before moving on. Mixed feelings about this game, some good stuff.

I finally moved on to FNaF4 and I didn't like the idea of the setting or where the franchise was heading but the game was awesome, it's really fresh and loved playing around the room and a breath of fresh air. I only played until Night 2 but I liked the idea a lot. I have no idea what's going on with the story though.

As far as the lore I checked a few youtube videos especially GameTheory which I enjoy from time to time but don't really take the video's as serious theories most of the time so I don't know about here. The whole story is a convoluted mess, I don't know how they went from a simple story with an interesting mystery you uncovered to what we have at the end of FNaF4. The dream theory is such a cop-out and the normal theory is far too complicated and full of fan assumptions.

From the research I was able to see that the fandom got hardcore into the lore and the creator liked it so much he kept leaving more and more hints and making things more and more complicated and got over himself and wasn't able to provide a decent story. So I guess in the end it's best if things are a mystery since I don't think we'll ever get a satisfying answer in this franchise and let our imaginations run wild.


Cool franchise, definitely looking forward to the movie and new game, let's hope with the newer game he keeps things interesting and doesn't try to deepen the story too much.

[ssjup81]

For the theory about FNaF 2, Scott Cawthon actually posted that Game Theory was almost 100% right with their theory.

[Coola Yagami]

I like how Game Theory makes up all these silly and ironic theories on other games that are obviously for entertainment purposes and not to be taken seriously.... but when it comes to Freddy's, MattPat gets serious and tries to really solve the convoluted backstory of the series.

[Allio]

Honestly, that the hilarious part. To me the more silly ones are the ones you play completely straight.

Especially the one, where if you add something so bizarre into the mix, it starts to put everything in it's place; causing everything to add up.

Like some ever after high theories regarding characteristic inconsitency has lead me to the fact tat 1) Faybelle's mother is in a vegetable state, 2) Ginger Breadhouse's cannabalistic nature 3) The origins of Ever After High started as some kind of Cult, which then because the basis of it's society.

It's hilarious how one extreme or another can add everything up.

Scott has mentioned, the story remains unfinished and unexplained because it gives fans, theorist, and anyone else their chance and explain it they way they want the story to go. "Like a create your own ending/story"

and I'll be going as a FNAF night guard for Halloween again, full cos play uniform.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Doesn't the game come out today?

[Coola Yagami]

Already out.

I don't know why make the backstory so complicated. The animatronics are haunted by the kids the Purple Guy killed and they kill you out of revenge. That should basically be that.

[ssjup81]

MatPat from GT was doing a live playthrough yesterday (this morning for me) of Sister Location and curious if it's close to the theory he made about the game months ago. I haven't watched it yet, though.

I'm curious how much of it is right and how much is completely off.

[Coola Yagami]

It's a very fun game and you do different stuff and you have more rooms to go through than any other game. It feels more like an actual game. I might try some more tonight.

[Allio]

so going by Sister Location (and what of Silver Eyes we know is canon), the game itself gives off a "Purple Guy origin" story, now making it Ennard = Afton (dead) = Purple guy, the timeline is probably this

Five Nights 4

Sister Location

World's secret Ending

Five Nights 2

Five Nights 1

Five Nights 3


This would make it, that Ennard escapes with Afton's body and kills "Henry" and (in Baby's voice) says that the show is about to begin, probably implying the killings by stuffing the children (possibly to recreate a new baby/afton's daughter)

Thus, making Ennard the Purple guy. This story is a story of Animatronics vs Animatronics, the spirits of dead children vs Ai too real for their own good.

It fits pretty well

[Coola Yagami]

It could also happen after FNAF 1/before FNAF 3. Even before Ennard, Afton was already designing the robots with extra features to help kill kids. If Ennard did kill and replace Afton, he was still a sick bastard before he died.

It makes more sense to happen after fnaf 1 since the game did mention freddy's closing and also the animatronics are way too crazy advanced compared to the 1 and 2 bunch.

If that's even true, he won't be gone for long. He'll be back in no time, ready to pump out another one of these dumb things. Then little kids who think these games are all that will rush to buy it, which'll fund another one, and so repeats the cycle. :roll:

[Coola Yagami]

Well, he's announced cancelling his games before, but usually there's a link or brightening the screen reveals that he was trolling. This time there's no such thing, so he could either be telling the truth... or he's getting better at trolling.

I love the games. I'm not thrilled how the kids and fanbase ruined it for outsiders. Personally, I never considered them to be 'kid's games'. Under the right mindset, the games are scary as hell. Just the thought of being alone in some crappy building in the middle of the night and some creepy animatronic grabbing me and shoving me into a Freddy suit full of sharp crap, regardless of wether or not I fit in there in the first place until I die by bleeding out stopped me from buying the game for the longest time.

I kinda think the kids don't understand the game and just see cute critters that play peek-a-boo or something. Do these kids and Hot Topic buyers realize Freddy Fazzbear kills you in a hell of a horrible way if he catches you? Or that the whole backstory revolves around child murders?

[sdp]

I remember when I finally got into FNAF and I was so excited and kept telling people only to realize that only little kids and bronie-tier dorks online liked it as much as me :lol:

No regrets, I loved Showbiz Pizza as a kid so this hits just right in the nostalgia cord.


Edit: Waiting for a new FNAF game is alright, maybe it can release around the time of the movie which is going slowly. The lore got too complicated and stupid imho so expanding it too much would be a mistake.

Oh by the way, I got Sisters Location for free! I bought the "complete" FNAF bundle a few months before Sisters Location and after it was released it was already in my library, talk about cool since I even bought that bundle on sale.

[Ninjinister]

Yeah it'll be out in August for the anniversary.

I don't think it's any different then kids dressing up as Jason from Friday the 13th for Halloween or Freddy Krueger having his own rap song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2XKsTbuUOo). Don't forget the original Ghostbusters was a movie meant for adults but gained a huge following with children.

Most kids just like getting scared. I know my niece loves watching people on Youtube play the games, but never wants to actually play them. I guess that way she can still get scared, but not so scared because of the humorous freakouts from the Let's Players. That ways the fear quickly turns into laughs, kind of like Scooby-Doo in a way.

True, but even then, both kids and adults continue to enjoy the next Friday the 13th or Nightmare of Elm Street (back in the day when they were pumping out sequels every year). Nowadays it seems only kids play FNAF and that's probably not in the direction the games were headed for. I'm sure Scott is happy people are playing his games, regardless of age, I'm just sure he didn't intend for them to be 99.9% kids.

[sdp]

FNAF is a kids franchise, I was shocked when I found out and felt embarrassed but whatever I still like it. Sure Jason/Freddy were marketed to kids but this is on a totally different level, this one is sanitized and much of the "creepy" lore was likely made by a lot of kids.

Kids aren't stupid and they like scary things, I'm guessing the largest audience of FNAF is 6-10 year olds.

[The Deadman]

When was Jason Voorhees marketed to kids? lol.

[sdp]

Countless Halloween costumes, merchandise and memorabilia and even a video game,

[Cure]

Countless Halloween costumes, merchandise and memorabilia and even a video game,

Yeah, you can just walk into a toy store and see countless toys meant for kids. The only things not meant for kids are strictly the movies.

No, the lore is in the actual games through hints and mini games that expand upon it. We know most of the events, the only thing really up in the air is the how and why, as well as the exact order of events that led to what would become the first game. And Sister Location just threw in a bunch of new stuff that threw most of what we already knew on its head.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

A new game released yesterday call Five Nights at Freddy's: Pizzeria Simulator.

[Coola Yagami]

A new game released yesterday call Five Nights at Freddy's: Pizzeria Simulator.

Yes, and the biggest surprise is that it turned out to actually be FNAF6 and for free.

Possibly the scariest and creepiest game in the franchise. I can't even look at Baby anymore, they gave her a hell of a mega disturbing overhaul.

I don't think any little kids will want to see that thing. That truly is the thing of nightmares.

[TigerClaw]

a new FNAF game was announced today, and its a sequel to Help Wanted which was the VR game.
