Title: Five Nights at Freddy's
Post by: Sleepy Eskimo on August 16, 2014, 05:51:10 pm
I do liked the concept of this game, and the gameplay was spot on I had to say. I did see some gameplay videos, pretty fun and scary. any opinions?

Hooo boy. There's plenty to have opinions about, my friend.
Five Nights at Freddy's is, in my opinion, a kind of spectacularly crafted game that doesn't suffer from a lot of the one-man show indie game tropes. It's not trying to push a deep meaning down your throat, it's graphics aren't made of upscaled pixels, the artwork is actually decent and although people may criticize the jump scares for... Well, existing, they are rare outside of being a condition of failure. Another thing I like about these jump scares is that, like a lot of the game at large, they leave a lot to your imagination.
In a way, it's a lot like a type of game you'd find in the 90s. Thin on detailed story with a lot to be found in the environment and what you actually are given. You're not told why you signed up for this job, you're not in it to solve some huge conspiracy, your character is... You. The security guard who sits in his chair all night and pokes a few buttons is undeniably you, and you can be completely unnerved about the situation as the phone guard seems to expect you to be, or you can take failure with total submission. The only thing you can't do that might be an immersion breaker is leave your room during work hours, but that is probably for the better as chances are the entire idea would be just turned into a ripoff of other survival horror genres. The way it's structured so far works wonderfully.
And there's a lot to be had from the lore. The phone guard clues you in on events, and even though you can't walk around yourself, looking around at the cameras works for exploration since that ends up telling it's own story aside from keeping tabs on the rogue animatronics. For instance, there are posters scattered around with text to read concerning rules and regulations, newspaper articles which detail events that had happened in Freddy's as a restaurant, and you'll even notice that there are parts for only 3 out of the 4 animatronics you'll encounter in the game, with one being notably missing from any of the advertisements you can see in-game. I'll leave the speculation up to you guys, though, there's loads of theories ranging from rogue AIs, to "they're probably not actually animatronics at all", to supernatural possession.
With that said, the downfall of the game is that the gameplay is what it is. It's a resource management game, and you have to keep on your toes about your power usage and learn patterns to keep yourself from being possibly suffering a gruesome death by way of being jammed into a collection animatronic body parts. It never really gets too much deeper solely as a game than night 3, and by 5 it's mostly just testing your management skills.
By the way, were you ready for Freddy?

While the characters are cute I kinda got bored watching footage of it because 1) Every single video out there is some idiot with footage of himself in the corner is hamming up his reactions like an obnoxious spaz and 2) It's basically Night Trap without the amusing cheesy story.
Also I think the whole "Dying because they stuff you in a fursuit" would've been better if it was written as "They shut you down (kill you) and stuff your body in a fursuit"

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordstatue.png[/avatar]Five Nights at Freddy's isn't a very scary game to watch, at all, but when you're playing it yourself it's actually a really competent horror title. It hits all the right benchmarks for really good horror game design: quiet tension, vague dangers that leave the very worst of it up to the player's imagination, and above all creating a feeling of feeling of utter and total disempowerment. I wish the internet hadn't turned the game into such a stupid fucking meme because it deserves to be taken more seriously than it is, I think.
Although I have no idea how he plans to make a sequel to it. It'll have to be a completely different game than the original, because he did literally everything he possibly could with the gameplay in the first.

Interesting. Looks like it's set in a cleaner, more modernized version of the pizzeria, but all the old, busted bots are still lurking around. It seems to have the same basic gameplay, but now without the ability to lock the animatronics out.

In the first game the guy on the phone gives an idea to put on a suit but they might stuff an animatronic in you. I guess if you put on the top part, it'll work. But no doors man....and the fact that they somehow get the other newer bots working against you....Screw it....

Probably just how they kill you now instead of just a static screen.
Actually I think you do hide in them now since there's no doors to use to protect yourself from the animatronics though.
Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's
Post by: ThatIdahoGuy on October 24, 2014, 05:43:13 am
Yeah, I think I read somewhere that they now give you a Freddy mask to wear to confuse the animatronics. There has to be some kind of catch to it, but until we see more out of FNAF2 we don't know.
Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's
Post by: Jango on October 24, 2014, 06:08:40 am
The twist is that your arms are now battery operated so moving them to put the mask on or take it off will drain power.
Or maybe the new mascots will see you as outdated and try to shove you into the NEW Freddy suit, which might be interesting because maybe you'd have two different Freddy masks that you have to put on for the right set of animatronics.

Post by: Umezono on October 24, 2014, 06:24:32 am
the popular theory is that the new animatronics are trying to get rid of the old ones, and are not actually antagonistic towards you. the idea is that you have to wear the mask to avoid the old ones, but you cannot have it for the new ones or they will take you for a rogue animatronic and try and kill you. this is all unsourced fan theory but i think its okay as a concept.

Basically: New animatronics are good guys that are there to destroy the old animatronics. Putting the old Freddy mask on will cause them to mistake you for an old animatronic and they'll kill you. Old animatronics are organ harvesters and are out to kill you. Putting the mask on makes them think you're old Freddy and they'll leave you alone.
I bet there's a situation where both types of animatronic are in the office. What a dick move that'd be. Also, what's up with Foxy 2.0? Seems to be a mangled mess.

NOPE.
I haven't tried it yet, but that fan theory was so, so wrong, and here's what's been confirmed so far.
Spoiler: if you want to be surprised(click to see content)
- The new animatronics officially have a "Toy" title (ie: Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, etc). The old ones don't have it. The only exception is the new Foxy who is now known as Mangle. - No power limits! Hooray! - However, now you have a flashlight for the cameras and for looking down the hallway, and THAT can run out of power. - Additionally, now that you can't die by running out of power, you can instead die by not cranking a music box in one of the rooms, which is home to a brand new animatronic: The Puppet. - There's also another new animatronic called Balloon Boy. People are still trying to figure out what he does, but he apparently can't attack you directly. Instead, he can apparently attract animatronics to him. - Freddy is active on the first night. - The Freddy Mask is meant to prevent both the new AND old animatronics from attacking. You have to wait for them to stare at you with the mask on and leave before you're safe to take it off again. - HOWEVER, the mask doesn't work on the new Foxy. Now you can only stop him by shining a flashlight at him. Same for Mangle apparently.
Apparently the pattern from FNaF1 isn't going to work, and it seems like you really do need to keep an eye on them to limit their movements.

I like the fact that this was done in Multimedia/Clickteam Fusion programming software. One of the softwares that I sue for my fan made stuff as well. :)
This is a scary game indeed. Even if you mute your volume, you still get the face shaking, etc out of nowhere if you are not prepared. But most of it seems to be pretty telegraphed, as to what they will do next before scaring you.

Post by: Jango on November 16, 2014, 05:16:43 am
I wrote a review here (http://mugenguild.com/forum/msg.2047819) on playing it.
That was a pretty interesting twist ending which I totally didn't see coming (I for one thought that Toy Chica's "Let's Celebrate!" bib was a joke about how fast-food restaurants are trying to discourage childhood obesity nowadays, which would be why they scrapped the "Let's Eat!" bib. I heard rumors that apparently this decision was made last minute which kind of explains one of the weirder plot gaps (apparently your paycheck matches whatever date you beat the game on, and since it's November, it's WAY off from June when the child murders happened, which I'm assuming happened here on Night 4 or 5, with The Bite of '87 happening the day after Night 6). It makes sense that they'd scrap the new robots under those circumstances though.
Additionally, Scott's website now just displays "offline." (http://www.scottgames.com/) in the FNaF font, removing downloads to all of his older works and even his contact information.
I don't know if this means he's quitting (I recall him having to deal with people setting up twitter/twitch accounts posing as him) or (judging by the font), he's considering making FNaF3.

No but I noticed some weird pixels at the bottom so I used the lasso tool and revealed "until next time." D'oh, should've guessed.
So FNaF3 is pretty much confirmed then! Also, a little old, but a Christian gaming site interviewed him prior to the game's release (http://www.geeksundergrace.com/gaming/christian-developer-spotlight-scott-cawthon/) and... well it's quite revealing actually.

So apparently FNaF1 updated on my Steam today with TWO patches. The first was a whopping 218 MB, the second was 3.4 MB. Gonna try play around see if there's anything new.
EDIT: Well at the very least, SOMETHING got added. The version is now v1.131 (the last one was 1.13)
EDIT2: So from what I'm reading the biggest change is that Steam Broadcasting support was added so you can watch your friends close the left door and not do anything for five minutes. BUT knowing that this is Scott, I wonder if there's anything else hidden in there.

Is this another one of those TURN THE SATURATION/BRIGHTNESS WAY UP things because all I see what looks like the "offline until next time" image. Or I have to clear my cache.
You mean there's going to be a 3rd installment of the series? Kreygasm
It makes sense he'd make a 3rd game. Aside from the fact that games are making him LODS OF EMONE, FNaF2 introduced so many unanswered plot points that it would be criminal to NOT continue. It would be like if J.K. Rowling ended Harry Potter after Voldemort got resurrected.
As cool as a third game sounds, I REALLY hope Scott takes his time. It's really obvious to tell that FNaF2 was rushed out the door and that Scott kind of missed what made the first game great by adding in too many things to keep tabs on so that you didn't have time to be scared. There's a lot I could say on what needs to be changed for a third game to be good, but it can be pretty much be summed up with Scott slowing down.

Enough of the night time jobs. How about a game where you work in the restaurant in the afternoon, and the animatronics STILL go haywire? Because I think 2 night time job games are kind of pushing it as "same game". Or at least mix it up with the first hours afternoon, then end the shift at night time where the animatronics are even more bizarre than at the day time.

It wouldn't make sense to have it during the afternoon.
Spoiler: FNaF2 spoilers(click to see content)
If it happens before FNaF2 like a lot of people think it will, because being able to walk around during the day was a relatively new feature for the restaurant introduced in FNaF2. If it happens anytime after 2, it won't make sense because the robots aren't allowed to walk during the day after The Bite of '87 (which is strongly hinted to have happened the day following the sixth night in FNaF2).
IGNORING THAT, The programming on the animatronics ONLY glitches up at night; until Night 4 of FNaF2 I think, all the animatronics are behaving normally until the Golden Freddy suit is stolen and used for the child murders, and then the restaurant gets shut down after Night 6 (Night 7 isn't canon).
Ignoring all of that, playing during the afternoon wouldn't feel nearly as creepy atmospherically. Part of what made the first game scary was the use of darkness to hide the animatronics. Get rid of that, and... well, it's just not scary any more.

Okay so after being constantly bothered to watch it, I watched Game Theorists' FNaF2 vid (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1kw1RmzrPc) and... well aside from all the rambling and stating obvious shit that everyone should already know by now, there are only two bits that stand out to me.
The Puppet is the crying child from the Take Cake to the Children death minigame, backed up by the fact that the puppet's eye lines resemble the child's tear lines. And also that he's still around in the first game in the wall posters
The Purple Man, and ultimately the murderer of the five children is actually Phone Guy, because in the S-A-V-E-T-H-E-M minigame, the purple man's sprite looks like it's carrying a phone. And that he knows a lot about the puppets. And that he refers to management as "them" and talks about "the employees," as if his position isn't tied to the company.
The Puppet one could be valid, but I still think that's a bit of a stretch. PHONE GUY, however...
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
If that sprite is holding a phone like the theory says, that particular shape of the phone wouldn't be portable.
Him mentioning Foxy is his favorite is relevant... how?
If you don't follow MatPat's Puppet theory, Phone Guy's dislike of The Puppet is just "wow that thing is creepy."
I don't see the problem in his company language. I refer to my coworkers as "employees" and my bosses as "them." Not all the time, but it happens.
But the biggest bit is the phone call on Night 4 in the first game, where he says this:
Quote
Uh, hey, do me a favor. Maybe sometime, uh, you could check inside those suits in the back room? I'm gonna to try to hold out until someone checks. Maybe it won’t be so bad. Uh, I-I-I-I always wondered what was in all those empty heads back there.
If he was the murderer, why would he be curious about what's in the suits or heads?
Also if he was the killer that wore the Golden Freddy suit, why does Golden Freddy's kill scream play on Night 4 when he gets killed?
Spoiler: MY Theory(click to see content)
Phone Guy is pretty naive to what's happening in the second game, but he starts getting suspicious in the first game. Note how when he talks in the first game, he's really optimistic about everything and denies that anything's wrong until Night 5. Night 6 his tone of voice hints that he's starting to put it together. Then when you play FNaF1, he sounds a little nervous as if he's trying to keep his job but his not trusting and trying to figure out what's going on in his off-time.
The only question is the circumstances of his murder. I'm going to just flat out say that it's probably just what motivates all the animatronics, and him getting ganged up on is just played up for dramatic effect.
ANYWAY, ignoring all of this, the offline image got changed AGAIN.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
(http://i.imgur.com/Hs1y564.png)
Also the metadata got changed to read: "five nights at freddys, taking a break, Merry Christmas everyone! :)"
I really hope this means he's going to take his time and properly develop the third game.

It's been out for a week or so, but I didn't see anyone talk about it so here goes. What do you get when you mash up Five Nights at Freddy's with Slimebeast's classic creepypasta "Abandoned By Disney?"
You get Five Nights at Treasure Island (http://anart1996.deviantart.com/art/Five-Nights-At-Treasure-Island-DEMO-497691415)
I haven't played it yet, but from what I've seen:
There's significantly fewer cameras to watch, made worse by...
The new way you get enemies out of your office. Mickey is apparently blind and guided by sound, so you can distract him by shutting off one of your cameras and he'll go after that. It takes time for a camera to come back on, so part of the tension comes from having to reduce your ability to track these guys to save your life.
There are a few suits (I dunno if they're supposed to be animatronics since the original creepypasta just had them as costumes) confirmed so far.
The Inverted Mickey from Abandoned By Disney
A Goofy body missing a head (so far it was never actually shown moving)
Donald Duck's disembodied head that sometimes just pops up on your desk and is generally just very loud. You get rid of him the same way, but I guess he's supposed to be the Balloon Boy of this game?
Oswald, who the game goes to great pains to mention that he's an unfinished model without textures, although I have to admit that seeing a shadowy Oswald hiding in the shadows is pretty neat.
... Another Mickey Mouse, but this one based on the creepypasta SuicideMouse.avi or something like that.
Instead of one phone guy giving you directions, it's a team of Disney Imagineers. While the voice acting is pretty low-quality, there's a neat concept in place: in that what was shown so far, the Imagineers argue with each other about how the costumes work
So while there are a few good ideas here, there are a few problems as well
Glitches up the wazoo
Mickey's killscreen is not only animated badly but has all sorts of white outlines around it.
Disney will probably fucking SUE his ass off.
The creator made a FNaF clone and somehow thought people wouldn't pay attention, and now he's saying not to expect too much because he wants to devote his time to art instead of programing a game (http://anart1996.deviantart.com/art/A-Message-499901354)

Watched a playthrough of it. Damn fuck that duck is loud, and it would appear you have to shut off multiple cameras to get rid of him, unless that's just a glitch.
There's also a weird melted red figure that sometimes appears.

Umm, wow. That's really freaky compared to the silly animatronics we're used to. I'm guessing that "I'm still here" and "only one" refers to the fifth child? Or maybe the killer/purple man? That definitely looks more human than robot which is quite mystifying.

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordstatue.png[/avatar]To be honest, the caption bothers me more than the picture. Any actual verbal messages in the previous games have been pretty blunt and stunted: "It's me." "Save them." "I am still here" is a complete sentence. It implies a level of self-awareness that wasn't really seen in the first two. Whatever it is, It knows what and where It is, and It is speaking directly to you. That's really freaky.

Maybe the endoskeleton you see wandering around in certain times in the first two games actually slipped into the Golden Freddy suit? Maybe it's becoming more relevant than we would think, but that's just me probably over-thinking it. :P

I feel this game is going to take a much grittier turn than the last game. To me it looks like the Phone Guy, seeing how under the face looks more... Raw instead of mehanical. Like he survived his attack in game one but is disfigured and is hiding in the one of the suits. After all, he was curious about what was in those empty heads, so what if they're just that: empty?

HOLY SHIT PHONE GUY WAS THE PURPLE MAN ALL ALONG[/Retarded Game Theory... theory]
The ONLY reason why I'm not saying it's the Purple Man for sure is because Scott has been known to pull off misdirection. For example, when he was promoting the second game, he framed it as if it was a sequel (the broken animatronics, framing Toy Bonnie as "new," the whole "Grand Re-Opening" thing, mentioning the "previous guard" so we all assumed it was the player character from the first game, etc), and everyone knows what happened with that. Granted it's possible he just tacked on that twist last-minute (seeing how the game refers to the shift as a "summer job" and the check is dated November), but I like to think he's got the Fazbear lore very well planned out.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
And while I'm sure the franchise is now lining his pockets modestly to the point that he could hire a new voice actor for game 3's Phone Guy, he'd probably prefer to just record himself. Imagine how disturbing those calls would be.
Arguments against Purple Man are flimsy, though. A suspect being arrested based on security camera footage doesn't mean they got the right guy, and we can't for certain say that The Bite of '87 was caused by a Toy animatronic's criminal database recognition since Phone Guy notes that the system was tampered with (although among other things, the frontal lobe DOES control concious decisions and emotions, so it's possible that maybe the killer is now able to act more efficiently without hesitation).
Anyway, starting to wonder if "only one" means there's only one "animatronic?" I imagine that would be even harder to play against if it's a guy in a suit.
Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's
Post by: Duos.act on January 05, 2015, 09:27:23 am
Now I'm imagining a completely different scenario for the gameplay, where it's just you trying to protect yourself from the killer in the suit while he uses the environment against you.

Anyone see the animatronic with a wide-open mouth in the back around 0:58? One can only hope that's a new one.
So this looks pretty interesting so far, from what I can gather: - Either you're in a long-abandoned facility like I was thinking, or you're in a different part of GNaF1's restaurant. Judging by that huge makeshift barricade, I'm gonna guess the first one. - Does this mean we can expect scares that aren't jumpscares? Hooray!
Wishlist: - After a lot of thought, I hope Scott just abandoned the security cameras. I think the scares from it have been sufficiently milked, and the fact that he had to add a music box in the second game to get people to use the camera is a sign that it's probably just better to retire the cameras. - I hope that we get a different Phone Guy. The super nice dude from the first two games is funny, but the tone of this game warrants a new VA. - That being said, I hope the game doesn't get *too* grimdark. I mean I know that's funny to say for a game where children get murdered and shoved into animatronics, but hopefully we avoid stepping outside of those boundaries (ie: THE MURDERER IS ON DRUGS!)

Lots of people are saying that the animatronic is Bonnie, just after 30 years of being left to rot. I suppose it kinda makes sense, seeing as Bonnie was the only one of the three animatronics that looked at you during that trailer, and Scott had a nightmare about him once :P

Looks like Scott's still using overlays from Game #2. Hopefully he figured out how to make it not so awkward looking. Also what I thought was a new animatronic with a gaping maw is just Freddy parts. Yawn.
So looking at the new animatronic for a bit longer, maybe I shouldn't call it "Neo-Bonnie." Because I noticed a few discrepancies between Bonnie and the new animatronic, namely that Bonnie's teeth are more cylindrical in the first game (http://i.imgur.com/LRckEiw.png). There was, however, one animatronic whose teeth match up to the new one's (http://i.imgur.com/uVftMVU.png). Also Bonnie's nose seems to be a bit too big, while Freddy's seems to match up.
My personal theory: The new animatronic is a hodgepodge of the original three.

FNaF3 steam greenlight page said:
Thanks to all of your awesome support, Five Nights at Freddy's 3 has hit number one on Steam Greenlight! I was really unprepared for such an outpouring of great comments and upvotes; I'm very grateful and humbled. :)
I want to take a second to debunk a rumor that the game will be released on February 5th, however. ;) Although I've made a lot of progress on the game, there is still a LOT of work to be done. I'm working hard to make a great game for all of you so try to be patient.
Thanks again for your support and comments! :)
OKay good, glad he's taking his time.
EDIT: Another fan theory I've been seeing is that the new animatronic is Sparky The Dog, who was a hoax animatronic in FNaF1. The reason why this is even being considered is because Scott Cawthon adopted the fan-given "Golden Freddy" name in FNaF2, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to do another shout-out to the fanbase.
Just for comparison, here's Sparky: (http://i.imgur.com/WAldnoS.jpg)

Well that's just SUPER This is all unrelated to FNaF3 so I'm going to spoiler it.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
So while I've been doing the Famicom FNaF2 office, I was idea-engineering how to fix some of the problems with FNaF2, keeping in mind that I'm using office sprites for the hallway. Additionally, I was trying to think of ways to give the player more incentive to actually use the camera outside of warding off a single animatronic. So here goes my list of proposals if someone turns the released sprites into a game:
1) FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET RID OF THE PUPPET 2) I'd also get rid of light switches. Animatronics from the hallway would slowly fade in accompanied by footstep audio cues, giving you a chance to throw your mask on before they get too close. Animatronics from the vents would just be there when you look at them. 3) In its place, I'd introduce The Light Zapper (like the NES one!). It would be an alternative to the mask in that instead of throwing the mask on, you could just shoot something that gets too close. You'd still have the mask, but the Zapper would be a lot safer to use. 4) To balance out the great power the zapper bestows, it is the only thing that can stop Foxy. You'd have to shoot any other animatronic twice to get them to leave. Additionally, you either have a shitty recharge rate or none at all (The AI would never allow Foxy to show up more times than the player has total shots). 5) Now to address the cameras. In FNaF1, the camera is pretty much only good for slowing down Foxy and Freddy, meaning at most you only have to keep tabs on two rooms. It's "simplified" in FNaF2 in that you only have to keep tabs on one room, but goddamn do you need to keep tabs on it. My proposal would be to have either another human in the building (ie: a night guard that actively patrols the facility) or a new animatronic (that the other ones don't recognize). You'd have to keep tabs on where he goes and protect him from the animatronics. His path will always be consistent, but the only way you can tell his position is by checking the cameras. There'd be an audio cue if he enters a room with an animatronic (maybe a digitzed "HELP!" or something) at which point you'd have to throw the camera up, look for him, and ward off the animatronic by using the camera's flashlight. This provides an incentive to check the cameras, as he's constantly moving, and you want to make sure that you have a rough idea of where he is when he gets in trouble. 6) So why would you be watching out for this guy? Well, if you let him get killed, the animatronics start getting into your office MUCH more frequently, to the point of it requiring lightning reflexes to survive.
I dunno, those are how I'd address the problems with FNaF2

But then it ended up on Steam Greenlight (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=400146628). Heads were being scratched, people were getting mad, and then suddenly, the game's developer stepped forward. (http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/400146628/610573751153559411/)

Hi, I'm KentuckyFriedBlaziken, AKA MrDakotaWood. I am the REAL developer of this fangame. I would like to begin by saying that I have NEVER done this for a profit and the only money I ever have and will have earned from this game is AD REVENUE THAT GAMEJOLT PROVIDES REGARDLESS OF MY PREFERENCE. Never once had it occured to me to PUT THE GAME ON STEAM because quite obviously that would result in LEGAL BACKLASH. Whoever the steam user that posted this game is ISN'T ME AND HAS NEVER HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS GAME. I'm currently looking into contacting bth Valve and Scott Cawthon about this, I'm worried that because of this IDIOT's actions I'm gonna end up in court with Nickelodeon pointing at me, so whatever you do DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS GAME. Seriously, I'm 17 and a lawsuit is not something I want to have to go through this early in my life.
Anyway, this was posted on the FNaF3 greenlight discussion, and hopefully Scott can jump in. Poor fan-developer. And poor Scott having to get entangled in legal shit because of his crazy fanbase.

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordintrigued.png[/avatar]That's looking like the exact opposite of FNaF 2, with only one animatronic to deal with but a ton of screens and systems to pay attention to.
Spoiler: Lore theory an' sich.(click to see content)
So those new minigames have some interesting new bits to sift through. First off, it's clearly the Toys that are the focus there, not the originals that the murdered kids were stuffed into. It looks like they're wandering around the pizzeria long after it's been abandoned after FNaF 1, being led by a new, Purple Freddy who turns into the Purple Man and dismantles them. This kind of throws a wrench into my theories for a couple of reasons.
1) I was under the impression that the Toys were legitimately malfunctioning in the way Phone Guy claimed the Originals did. My theory was that FNaF2 took place during the events of the children being murdered and their bodies hidden, which is why the Originals only started being active later in the week, and that the Toys became less so as the week went on because they were literally just broken robots. But this has them walking around of their own accord years after Freddy's was abandoned.
2) I thought it was pretty clear that the Purple Man was supposed to be representative of the actual murderer. But if the mini-games are hints to past events, why would he come back to the pizzeria years after the fact just to tear apart the wrong animatronics?
:EDIT: And suddenly the full game is released (http://store.steampowered.com/app/354140/), out of fucking nowhere.

Yes that's a skull. The killer after destroying the robots gets haunted by the kids and hides in the suit but the suit malfunctions and he dies and haunts it.

(didn't read those spoilers, keep that in mind)
So I finally sat down and played FNaF3. I had to stop after the 2nd night because holy shit this game is TENSE. And I don't mean tense as in FNaF1 and 2's micromanagement. I mean tense as in I really felt like I was in danger. I shit a brick when Springtrap ran by my window while I was resetting the ventilation system. I managed to beat the second night because at 5 AM he was outside my office, so I just pretty much stared at him, ignoring my ventilation breaking, until 6 AM.

I shudder to imagine what's next. I left my game on to listen to the Night 3 phonecall, and now I know why Springtrap has his name.
My kid bro told me Freddy's going to show up on Night 3 as well as the rest of the FNaF1 crew. He also said that apparently it's possible to keep Springtrap from getting close if I just keep sending audio into adjacent rooms to get him to move away from the office, and that whenever I hallucinate, I have to quickly find him again and get him back into the pattern again (or if he gets into the vents, lock the correct one fast enough).
I have to say it's exhilarating though, and even though it's early, it's already a MUCH more immersive experience than the previous FNaFs.

i sadly have only seen let's plays but that does seem to be the case as i've seen others do it, keep main focus on keeping him away and know how to reset him back to a safe spot. honestly wasn't expecting it to be that tense since there was less to worry about compared to 2 where you just had to fucking be on everything at all times. liking what he did here

Post by: Jango on March 04, 2015, 07:19:38 am
Yeah, in practice, there's less to do since you're just keeping him away. What makes it tense is the unknown factor of the hallucinations. I already learned how to ward off Balloon Boy, but I fear the others won't be as easy.

Scott's site got updated again. This is all that's on it.
(http://i.imgur.com/RBoBLFy.jpg) So from what I'm reading, the fandom is blowing up over it because they don't know whether this means this is the last FNaF (since removing the hat in the spotlight suggests that's Freddy's performance is done) or that there's a fourth one on the way (some people say that they can see a Freddy reflection in the hat).
I haven't beaten 3 yet to confirm whether or not he should continue the series, but it'd be pretty dumb for him to put the brakes on this juggernaut of a game series.

Okay Beat Night 3... YUP the rest of the FNaF1 gang is here. Thankfully Freddy was pretty easy to avoid, and I find that you can pretty much avoid every hallucination by switching your camera feed RIGHT AWAY. The only hallucination I got hit with was Foxy. I still haven't figured out how to stop him, but seeing that he's the wildcard of the series, I'm sure there's some weird way to do it.
Currently my strategy is to find Springtrap, try to get him to cycle between two rooms, where one isn't attached to a vent, and then pre-emptively seal off the other vent. Seems to work until a failure happens after which point I have to go hunting for him again, although I found that if all else fails, spamming a sound in a room will EVENTUALLY get him to go nearby (or I'm just lucky I guess). And oddly enough, I found that if you see him watching you through the window, you can get him to leave if you play a voice in Camera 2 right away (which means you want to seal off the adjacent vent right away).
My kid bro just texted me telling me that I fucked up because I didn't do some minigames that you have to access on Night 2, so I'm going to get the Bad Ending. So are you telling me Scott not only panders to furries, but fucking weaboos too?!
Kotaku tells all in the minigame walkthrough. It looks pretty final to me.
To be fair, I haven't even gotten near the end, and this just FEELS like the way it should end. I know I said that he'd be foolish to end the series, but considering the following he's built, I'm sure he could start a kickstarter or something and people would throw lods of emone at him. At the very least, he'd have people getting hyped for "The Next Game by The Creator of FNaF."
Hopefully this doesn't mean the end of Freddy Fazbear. It would be super awesome if he had some cameos (ie: how Banang (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvbtcCpWf-w) keeps (http://i.imgur.com/SDH0RQr.png) showing (http://i.imgur.com/MC4sQXa.jpg) up (http://i.imgur.com/mgMfH6D.png) in (http://i.imgur.com/kXKTXHl.jpg) Telltale (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OfRSSHcm8c) games). But there's a bigger question at hand...

Still trying to beat Night 4, it's kicking my ass so far though (The Puppet's hallucination is VERY hard to react to, disables you from doing anything productive, and allows other hallucination jumpscares to be triggered). On the plus side, I'm getting better at spotting Springtrap (I noticed that he has at least two different "in the room" poses per camera, so instead of standing out in the open, you might see him in a shadow just near the edge of the camera view). Also apparently the Foxy jumpscare happens if you stare at the camera for too long? I dunno, but it hasn't happened to me at all on this night, so maybe that's not it. Will post when I get it done.
In the meantime, enjoy the "running" animation someone ripped of Springtrap:
(http://i.imgur.com/g0u36cJ.gif)
EDIT: After dying a lot (I think... 10 times?), Night 4 completed. The cycling between rooms trick worked like a charm. I got my timing down pretty well. So here are a few things I learned:
Being able to see Springtrap isn't entirely necessary. That way, if you get a camera error, but you have an audio cue ready to go, go ahead and use it in an adjacent room. Provided you guided him to a room that doesn't lead to an air vent (if you did, you should also seal off the vent), you should have enough time to continue the cycle without Springtrap leaving the area.
If you see any hallucinations in the camera, for the love of god just switch the camera right away to the next room. I had a bad habit of hovering my mouse over the audio cue buttons, so I kept delaying my switches.
As a rule of thumb, just seal the closest air vent to the room you're cycling Springtrap through. This way if you somehow trigger a hallucination (ie: Foxy), Springtrap won't be able to enter the vent (He might try though, but if he hits an already sealed vent, he's pretty much trapped so you can call him back out with an audio cue)
If you get Springtrap in Camera 2, IMMEDIATELY seal the Air Vent below that camera. Pull this off, and you're safe to lure him to Camera 5 (which will require him to take at least two moves to get into an air vent).
I was so pumped so I tried to do Night 5 but Foxy is RELENTLESS, and I think for that night I actually have to put the camera down every now and then. I'll probably do it tomorrow.

HOo boy I have a theory, spoilers though because its about after fnaf 3 and its ending. So if youre still playing through the game I wouldnt open this theory yet. *coughJangocough*
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Some fans are wondering if there will be a FNAF 4 and im saying there must! Why? Well its simple my dear watson, there are two endings, a good one and bad one. In the bad ending you finish the game and thats it. Animatronics are still haunted. In the good ending, though, you play minigames that are secret and you put the spirits of the haunted animatronics "to rest." In the ending picture, instead of saying bad ending, it would state "the end". Also the animatronic heads arent lit up. Symbolizing that the spirits at rest.
One thing is different tho. In the bad ending notice that there are 5 lit heads but in the good ending there are only 4. I theorize that the "5th" head is either the head of springtrap or golden freddy. Since they arent there that must must mean that theyve gotten away. Now now I know what youre thinking "Why springtrap and also golden freddy isnt in this game". Well you must realize that there wasnt a minigame based on them meaning they are still haunted and left the fright attraction before it burned down. Oh and this isnt my only evidence.
On the newspaper stating that Freddys fright attraction burned down if you brighten the image with the freddy you can see springtrap behind him. As for golden freddy he is in the game. Well yeah he isnt an obstacle like in fnaf 1 or 2, but you can rarely see him to the side. Heres a picture of him. http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--0Mnr4UiP--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/fgsusfat81dxwvljem6x.png Notice that he never jumpscares you, which could lead him to not being an illusion.
"But Gamey! Your theory isnt true because scott posted a picture of freddys hat on his website which could mean the end and he also adds facts to the unreadable part of the newspaper." Well mr.theory-breaker, this just helps my theory even better! Why would scott post a picture of freddys hat and not withered freddy, plus why would he go out of his way to make one last image without telling us that the series is over? Well one is because he likes to tempt us but not tell us :scotttroll: . Another reason is that I think someone bought this from the auction thinking that if the animatronic spirits are at rest then there isnt any harm of buying freddys hat. Only it isnt freddys hat, its golden freddys hat. And that golden freddy and springtrap would haunt that person for taking the hat. I do declare, This theory could be flawed though. For it is a high chance it is just freddys hat because at the ending screen of fnaf 3 freddy has no hat, but thats just me ;). What do you think about this theory? Also one more help of evidence, Scott makes quiet money from these games due to its fame, so why would he stop now at the third installment?

Hmm, I'd like to report that the previous image tag in the html for the hat has disappeared, it's now unlabelled removing the previously mentioned "decoded" img src tag.

So someone posted this in another forum I go to which depicts Scott seemingly confirming FNAF4 due to the recent outcry that 3 would be the last in the series.
However take this with a grain of salt since I haven't been able to track down any official post from Scott confirming this (let alone the actual post itself). I also find it weird that no mention of this "confirmation" is circulating around the web considering that the image says he posted that a few days ago. Usually people would be uploading all sorts of news and videos by this time.
By the way, there's a hidden message in there which spells out "Fredbears" which is obviously referring to Fredbear's Family Diner which is where the game will take place if this is actually legit.

That's probably fake. Although, a game set in the original Fredbear's Family Diner would make some sense, depending on if you believe the Sixth Child theory or not.

You say that and yet we see Scott always using that "brightening the image" trick multiple times to the point where it's basically standard procedure to brighten any image that may come across from him.
Also the image has been deemed fake, not surprised at all, but a fourth game would be nice despite how definitive the ending is.

Post by: Jango on March 12, 2015, 10:41:10 am
IIRC the newspaper clippings in the first game read "as many as five children," so yeah there could be more.
I personally don't think there should be a fourth game as pretty much all the main questions have been answered (The Purple Man, the kids, why the animatronics do what they do), so it wouldn't make sense because...
If it's a sequel, Scott would have to go back to using the "malfunctioning Toy animatronics" concept instead of "animatronics that want you dead," which is really boring, and the point of him dismantling the Toys in FNaF2 was to eliminate that possibility.
If it's a prequel... nothing really happened at Fredbear's. It just happened to be the name of the old diner, and MAYBE something happened there before, but I don't recall them having their own problems with the animatronics. Even then, not all the murders happened there, so at the very least, there'd be one or two animatronics less to monitor.
Scott, please make something new. If you put it on Kickstarter I guarantee your fans will throw money at it like nuts, maybe even beat out Homestuck's video game Kickstarter.

Well, basically the theory goes like this:
Both the Give Gifts/Give Life and Foxy minigames depict 5 children having been murdered within the pizzeria.
However, the Take Cake to the Children minigame clearly shows that there was one child murdered outside of the restaurant as well.
The only animatronic shown in that minigame is Freddy, but it ends with the Puppet's jumpscare.
Based on all of that, the theory goes that there was a sixth child who was killed at, but not inside, Fredbears Family Diner long before the events of FNaF2, whose body was disposed of in a more conventional way than the others. Not being bound to one specific animatronic, that child's spirit became the Puppet, and is the catalyst for all of the rest of the supernatural happenings in the series.[/list]

The problem is that it's already been confirmed that The Puppet is the fifth child's mom after she committed suicide in the grief of losing her son! I can prove it, it's in The Living Tombstone's music video for FNaF2![/typical FNaF fan]
I GUESS that could be valid, but you're suggesting that the kid's ghost was just hanging around for a few years before it decided to just bind itself to The Puppet. And The Puppet not being an animatronic is bogus because Phone Guy confirms it's one of theirs.'
Although the biggest problem with this is that if you're right, that means MatPat is right, and all I want out of him is to get a Youtube video of him eating his own feces and choking while saying "THAT'S JUST A THEORY. A GAME THEORY."
Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's
Post by: Person Man on March 12, 2015, 02:08:03 pm
Maybe the kid's ghost was just waiting around because it was waiting for its chance for revenge, but couldn't do anything. Then the killer came back as the daytime guard at the new pizzeria, and when the murders happened that's when it started setting things in motion.
At first I was had thought that the sixth child might be Balloon Boy; The fact that his body wasn't physically present in the pizzeria being the explanation for why BB is the only animatronic that can never actually attack the player. But the Happiest Night minigame from FNaF3 does seem to really heavily imply that the Puppet is the sixth child.

I dunno where to post this, so after playing lots of good Famicom games, I wondered what it would be like if there was a Freddy Fazbear video game. And I don't mean a FNaF game, I mean a game with Freddy Fazbear as a licensed character. Pardon the crudeness of these graphics, while they mostly follow the NES rules, I am in no way a professional spriter, so here we go.
(http://i.imgur.com/wBsM2dI.png) Oh no! Freddy's too fat, he can't make that jump!
(http://i.imgur.com/lXvMOep.png) Well, might as well sing those "can't reach the platform" blues away...
(http://i.imgur.com/3M7tZvQ.png) ... Or use the music note as a platform. Still can't reach that cliff, though.
(http://i.imgur.com/FYcBReD.png) Well there we go. I figure it might be good to be able to make an extra one in mid-air for some platforms, but..
(http://i.imgur.com/CJMQOIR.png) ... your notes vanish very quickly, so you have to figure out your notes ahead of time.
(http://i.imgur.com/Vhf3oIS.png) Hooray I made it to the platforMARY MOTHER OF GOD WHAT IS THAT (Let's face it, Foxy would be the main villain of the game. And what pirate wouldn't have a crew of scurvy pirates to help him out? Also a kinda-sorta callback to FNaF2)
(http://i.imgur.com/qfpEKZG.png) Thankfully your notes double as a weapon. (Now a callback to FNaF3)
This is an idea I've had in my head for a while: making a legitimate Freddy Fazbear storyline in the characters' universe. To make it interesting, Bonnie and Chica would also be in with their own unique gameplay mechanics (with Chica being able to hover a little and have a projectile with a farther range, and Bonnie would probably be a tank and do more damage while being able to take more). So in a way, it would be like Little Samson (http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/littlesamson/littlesamson.htm) with some Gimmick! (http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/gimmick/gimmick.htm) and Kirby's Adventure (hahaha like you need a link to know the game) thrown in there.

For some reason, that just doesn't sit well with me at all.
The thing that sold the animatronics to me was their unsettling appearance; being drenched in the ponds of the uncanny valley.
Springtrap kinda steered away from this slightly, and now this thing is basically saying "hi hello i am the spooks be scared now"
That and he seems to reproduce by budding. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JIytOL-Q18)

I think the "Nightmare" bit is clueing us in that the animatronic is less rooted in reality than the previous ones. Like how the hallucinations in Game 3 aren't really "there," maybe this is the same kind of thing.

Part of what made the original designs so creepy is that they looked like they weren't originally supposed to be scary. They actually looked like creepy, poorly designed kids' mascots, and that was what made them so unsettling. That new design looks like it's diving into straight-up ooga-booga-booga territory.
Also I'm wondering where the lore is going to go on this one. After FNaF3, I don't feel like there are any questions left to answer.

The only questions I can think of off the top of my head are "which specific animatronic caused The Bite of '87, who is the victim, and why?" Also "What was Fredbear's Family Diner like?" But the biggest question is "In what part of the world is November considered to be in the Summer?"
(what if this new animatronic is Fredbear?!)

A few things I'd like to say, namely jesus christ it's barely been a year and we have three games (AND A FOURTH ONE ON THE WAY). I think this is a BIT much, just a BIT. I'm also kind of sad that Cawthon's using this success and....just doing more FNAF stuff. I think the guys at Yacht Club said it really well, "While we're going to be mostly known for Shovel Knight, we don't want to be the guys that JUST DO Shovel Knight." It's just, I wonder what ELSE he's capable of and a fourth game in a series that could've VERY reasonably concluded at the third one isn't really, well, exemplary of it, unless this has radically different gameplay but looking at that supposed release date I don't know how likely that is.
The new design looks kind of weird compared to everything else too, like it doesn't really...belong, I suppose? It's not even that it's not creepy it's just....out of place and doesn't really mesh with the motif that the other 3 games seemed to build up really well, even if they're not my cup of tea period.
Oh well, guess we'll have to wait and see.

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordsplit_zps3d0de07e.png[/avatar]FNaF3 explains who the Purple Man is in pretty excruciating detail, actually.
Spoiler: I guess? If you care about spoilers in this game(click to see content)
The Purple Man is the murderer of the missing children. It also reveals that after the pizzeria was abandoned after FNaF1, he went back to dismantle the animatronics and destroy the evidence. He was attacked by the spirits of the children, and tried to escape by hiding in an old busted Bonnie suit, but the suit snapped shut on him and killed him, becoming Springtrap.

Eh, you get used to it. I personally enjoy watching his theory videos. I'd never play the games, but the lore is interesting. :P
Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's
Post by: Jango on May 08, 2015, 04:20:05 am
Okay I watched it. First of all I have to admit that I had a bit of Schadenfreude hearing that he got a copyright strike against his channel. BUT ANYWAY, his arguments for it being phone guy:
Same as before, purple man holding a "phone-shaped" object in FNaF2. Maybe he had a brain fart and forgot that in Part One, he stated that the object in the guy's hand wasn't a "phone" but a tool to tamper with the animatronics. Either way, it isn't necessarily specific to phone guy.
Also same as before, he's smiling in the Foxy minigame, which coincides with phone guy saying Foxy is his favorite. I dunno how closely Mr. Game Theorist was watching, but purple guy's sprite is smiling in every single appearance he makes EXCEPT for when he's getting chased by the ghost kids in Game 3.
NEW: He knows about the hidden room. Which might be a deadringer IF he wasn't the only employee there. In FNaF3, Phone Dude says he talked to a guy that built the place, so more people know about that room than just the Phone Guy. And seriously, how many people forget something they're told to forget?
NEW: When he says he's going to "hold out" in the Night 4 call in FNaF1, the theory states that he hides in the Springtrap suit. This WOULD have been a cool idea, but he made a fatal mistake: the Springtrap suit activated AFTER the restaurant closed down and AFTER the original four animatronics were dismantled. It doesn't help that he says the animatronics roaming around in FNaF1 are the AFTERMATH of the Springtrap suit activating, which is just total bullshit since it's obvious that they're getting dismantled YEARS after the restaurant got shut down.
NEW: The reason why Phone Guy would've gotten killed in the Springtrap suit despite knowing how to operate it is because it was raining, water leaked into the suit, and it automatically activated. Plenty of problems with this. First of all, if moisture is all it requires for the suit to activate, wouldn't it have activated as soon as it felt rain on it? Second, this goes against his theory that Phone Guy was "holding out" in the Springtrap suit because that means that the restaurant just left their animatronics hanging out in an abandoned, leaking building for a few years before deciding "oh hey let's try again with a smaller budget."
NEW: He did the killings before as evidenced in the Springtrap suit. Okay first off, whoever's in the suit is ambiguous. Second, on the 5th night call in FnaF3 (I think it was the 5th night), he mentions that the company made replacement costumes that are just worn regularly without the Springlock mechanisms after incidents with them activating. It's entirely possible that the killer was wearing one of these replacement costumes, thus would be completely off-guard if he put on the springtrap suit.
My theory?
It's the unseen, unheard of Day Shift guard in FNaF2. He works there so he'd know about the secret room (and if not, there's other employees there that he could ask), and the killings happen AFTER he gets moved to the day shift. The building goes on lockdown to prevent "previous employees" from getting back in (if it was Phone Guy, he wouldn't be getting back in). He's apprehended, apparently his punishment is reduced after evidence is slim (probably the puppet's fault for shoving the kids into animatronic suits), or it's possible that he broke out of jail to dismantle the animatronics. Gets scared off by the ghosts of the dead kids, climbs into the Springtrap suit in desperation, doesn't know how to operate it (since he'd be used to wearing normal costumes), and gets killed by the springlocks.

There's only one thing I never got about FNaF3... Why the flippy flying motherfucker of all fucks would anyone think that "hiding" in an animatronic suit would protect them from apparitions? They're GHOSTS. They can phase through things! I just don't get it. It doesn't add up.
Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's
Post by: Jango on May 08, 2015, 04:34:38 am
Maybe he thinks that the kids' triggers include old animatronic/costume hybrid suits. I'm sure if you gave him enough time he'd start addressing them as "him" and "her" to piss off all the kids that preferred to be called by gender-neutral pronouns.
Seriously, though, my guess is that he thought the suit might scare them off.

Quote
Despite good reviews, my Christian projects were all financial failures. I came to a point where I was very disillusioned and frustrated with God…actually it was more like a broken heart. I felt like I’d squandered so many years of my life, years that could have been spent going back to college but were instead spent working on Christian projects that went nowhere. I came to the conclusion that I could not have failed so miserably unless God himself had been holding me down. Either God didn’t exist, or God hated me. I didn’t know which was worse.
[...]
A pivotal moment came for me when my life insurance policy was cancelled. The insurance company had caught wind that I’d mentioned suicidal thoughts to my doctor. It was at that point I realized that not only did my life have no value but now even my death had no value. I went before God again, and it was the first time that I truly went before him with nothing. I had nothing to offer him. I told him to use me somehow. Although at that moment I had no idea what he could possibly use me for.
I felt drawn back to games again, but not Christian games anymore. It’s not that I wanted to leave the Christian market, I just didn’t feel “led” to make another Christian game. Instead, the events of my life led me to a great idea for a horror game- Five Nights at Freddy’s.

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordthisguy2_zpsa2329dd9.png[/avatar]Yeah, IIRC the night guard in FNaF2 gets moved to the day shift immediately after night 6, with Phone Guy mentioning some incident and that former employees are no longer allowed on the premises. That implies that something happened that simultaneously caused Fazbear's to be closed down and for them to lose their day guard, in short order. That lends itself to the conclusion that the day guard was in fact the killer.
(probably the puppet's fault for shoving the kids into animatronic suits)
You think the puppet was the one who put the kids' bodies into the suits? I'm pretty sure the killer did that himself, otherwise why would he think to go back and dismantle them years later?

There'd be no reason for him to go back to the pizzeria and destroy the animatronics if he didn't know the evidence was still inside them.
I think the Give Life minigame was supposed to represent the puppet resurrecting the kid's spirits as the animatronics. There's also that cutscene from FNaF2 that's first-person from Freddy's perspective where it looks like he's 'waking up' and sees the puppet.

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordnom_zps6fa2e1ee.png[/avatar]The teeth thing is probably because these appear to be nightmarish representations of the animatronics, probably as remembered by someone traumatized by them. Chica's always been notable for having the second set of endoskeleton teeth visible behind the costume teeth, so I guess that's what this design is alluding to.
Foxy's design has always been the one that was in the most obvious state of decay, so I'm guessing the nightmare version will play off of that.

Lol, I don't know really. Maybe if he was looking into the camera it would be a lot creepier, but for some reason that picture is just really silly to me. He looks like a lizard. Where's his facial structure? I mean even Mangle still resembles Foxy, and he's falling apart. XD
Edit: Apparently, he's got the number 87 is his right (our left) eye if you darken the image, "Nightmare" across is top teeth if your brighten the image and "Out of Order" sprawled across his mouth, with the hook looking like a question mark.

That would make sense as to why we have the nightmare animatronics. Something about them may have left a scar on a child.
I figure that it's from the perspective of either, A: A child that was a bit freaked out by the animatronics. Like how many people find animatronics like the kind in Chuck E. Cheese a bit unsettling. B: A child who was there during the Bite of 87 and saw what happened, traumatized by what he saw. or C: The victim of The Bite of 87. The Phone guy did say that the victim survived when his/her frontal lobe was bitten off.

It's actually called Plushtrap. I'm not sure where this comes into everything, but this could be on par with the mini-freddies coming out of Nightmare Freddy, in that Plushtrap is very much alive and how he (SpringTrap) makes his return.
Also, I think we have a confirmed date of 8/8/15 for FNaF4, according to IndieDB.

I take back what I said about Foxy not being scary. In that shot of him through the closet I said out loud "Holy shit!" That jump scare too. This is some really unsettling stuff to deal with. Now it makes me wonder who this child is. Did he take home these relics? Is he really a child or is this is just his nightmare playing out as we witness it while he's asleep? Is this what the victim if the Bite of '87 sees at nighttime? Is this what the murder sees at nighttime? So many questions.

You know what they say: The worst fear is your own nightmare. I'm thinking this kid could be the Purple guy's kid. Sick bastard must've terrified him to death. EDIT: I WAS WRONG. I WAS DEAD WRONG! NO SPOILERS FROM ME! This is....this explains everything.

This game sucks so hard. Broken fullscreen, I can't even get the audio cues to work properly so I just die randomly... so fuck it, I looked up the spoilers for this game, and now I am even more goddamn disappointed. Gone is all the mystique of the franchise. I was fine not knowing what happened in the Bite of '87. Now I know, and it's fucking STUPID.
Spoiler: save yourself $7.99(click to see content)
You are Purple Guy's son, and the Bite of '87 happens because your five shitty-ass friends hold you up to the Golden Freddy animatronic (who is just a regular animatronic at this point) while he's singing and he accidentally chomps your frontal lobe off. This leads to Purple Guy getting revenge on all those kids by taking the suit and murdering them.
So in conclusion, in FNaF3, you helped five shitty ass kids go to Heaven. GOOD JOB.

Wow, I didn't think it'd be that terrible. I saw Markiplier's first video of playing this, the scares got me good.
Also, the whole Bite of '87 thing sounds terrible, based on Jango's spoiler, I say read it and save yourself the money.

The thing is I'm a huge coward; the slightest thing'll make me jump. Hell, Doom 3 still gives me nightmares, and I can't look at the RE4 chainsaw death without flinching everytime. I guess it's a matter of how much cowardice is in one's blood. Course after a while, I got used to the jumpscares of Doom 3 and RE4 chainsaw guy, but still the memories (MAMMARIES :P) linger on.
But Markiplier's reaction to Chica was so damn hilarious though, once I got over the initial shock (which didn't last very long) :rofl:

Wow.... That ending sucks. I mean, like you said, it takes away anything remotely interesting about the series. (And honestly, I thought it was horribly overrated anyway. So this just makes the story really sucky.)
Well, maybe now the series will die properly. Now that everything was revealed in such a stupid way.

For the sake of everyone here, I'm going to try write the series storylines, both with and without FNaF4, just to show you how many changes this game made.
Spoiler: FNaF1-3 without 4(click to see content)
Pre-Games: At some point in time, Fredbears Family Diner is in existence with two animatronics: a golden bear (Fredbear, later "Golden Freddy") and a golden rabbit. It gets bought out by Fazbear Entertainment and is renamed Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Secret development on hybrid animatronic/costume suits is developed, but are abandoned and the suits are sealed up when suit malfunctions go horribly wrong with the Bonnie suit (Springtrap). The original bear and rabbit animatronics are replaced with Freddy and Bonnie, and Chica and Foxy are added. Purple Guy murders a kid here in secret, restaurant gets shut down.
FNaF2: In 1987, a new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is opened up with new animatronics with the ability to walk around and detect child predators (The Toys, Mangle, and presumably The Puppet and Balloon Boy). The chain originally attempted to outfit the old animatronics with this technology but failed so they just keep them around for parts (what the fans called "The Withereds"). Purple Guy gets a job working as the Night Security Guard, but complains about the animatronics walking around at night so he gets transferred to the day shift while Jeremy Fitzgerald becomes the new Night Guard. As Day Guard, Purple Guy steals the original Fredbear costume out of Parts and murders five children. The Puppet (which contains the housed spirit of the first murdered child) places the dead children into the old animatronics in hopes of bringing them back to life. The Toy animatronics presumably witnessed these murders, and become suspicious of all the staff members (Phone Guy tells you to avoid eye contact with them). The police start an investigation, and Purple Guy is fired and not allowed to get back in the building, so Jeremy Fitzgerald becomes the new Day Security Guard. The restaurant is going to be temporarily closed for the investigation after one more party which Jeremy is told to supervise (he gets told this while accidentally doing a night shift on Night 6) and protect patrons from getting killed. The Bite of '87 occurs, and while specifics are vague, it's safe to assume that a Toy Animatronic did this and the victim was Jeremy Fitzgerald, as the security guard on Night 7 (after the party) is Fritz Smith (who is fired after one night). The restaurant gets shut down after only one week in business. The bite is blamed on malfunctioning toy animatronics causing the bite, and they are all scrapped. The old animatronics (the ones with the dead kids inside them) are saved for a future restructuring.
FNaF1: Restaurant reopens in 1993 (this was deduced by calculating minimum wage payments over several years and matching that up with the paycheck on Night 5) with a much smaller budget (hence the limited electricity). Phone Guy is the Night Guard. The old animatronics are continuously trying to kill him, so he leaves a set of messages for the next night guard, Mike Schmidt. Phone Guy gets killed. During Mike Schmidt's stay, patrons are noticing that the animatronics have traces of blood and mucus coming out of the suit, and move like "reanimated carcasses." Mike Schmidt gets fired after tampering with the animatronics in hopes of saving his life, as the animatronics start trying to kill him, too. The assumption is that the animatronics are attacking the night security guards because they only remember that their murderer was a security guard. Eventually, poor business due to the stigma from the place combined with investigations from the health department close down the restaurant for good.
Somewhere in the 30 years between FNaF1 and FNaF3: Purple Guy returns to the abandoned restaurant and dismantles the old animatronics. This releases the ghosts of the children in the suit and they scare him into the Springtrap suit that activates due to the moisture in the restaurant from the rain as well as his laughter, and he is crushed inside the suit and killed. Most of the history of the chain starts fading from public memory.
FNaF3: In 2023, a theme park has been scavenging stuff from the closed restaurant and opens a haunted house attraction based on the events in the chain (which are now considered to be merely stories). At some point, they find the Springtrap suit and install it in the attraction. This accidentally causes the five ghost kids to be dragged along with him, and they now also haunt the attraction (The Phantoms). The unnamed security guard is able to piece the story together and put the souls of the dead children to rest. To avoid any more problems, he sets the attraction on fire destroying most of the assets. Springtrap's fate is ambiguous, although it's hinted that he's somewhere loose in the world.
And now I'll try to redo the plot with what happened in FNaF4!
Spoiler: FNaF1-4 UGH(click to see content)
FNaF4: It's 1987. Purple Guy's child is constantly bullied by his older brother and his peers. His only friends are the Fredbear mascots (who include Freddy, Foxy, Bonnie, Chica, and... Fredbear. Yes, Fredbear and Freddy are two different entities. Why Fredbear would have two nearly identical characters with slightly different colors be different characters is never explained). Every night for five nights, he has nightmares of these mascots attacking him (along with a plush of Springtrap and a Nightmare version of Fredbear). On his birthday, five kids bully him by shoving him into a singing Fredbear's mouth, and it accidentally bites off the kid's frontal lobe, causing The Bite of '87. The child still lives but is realistically probably a vegetable.
Before FNaF2: Purple Guy kills a lonely child watching Fredbear from outside a building for who knows what reason. Fredbear's closes down. Freddy Fazbear's Pizza opens up in its place, and Fredbear is probably retired due to the bite, and Freddy becomes the new mascot, and is now joined by Chica, Bonnie, and Foxy. Despite retiring Fredbear, however, the Fazbear entertainment attempts to make a Fredbear Suit and a Bonnie Suit, but both are scrapped when the Bonnie Suit malfunctions. They end up closing too for some reason (it's not for the suit incident because it happens and nothing changes in the restaurant according to the tapes on FNaF3 except for the employees wearing shitty normal costumes).
FNaF2: Mere months after the original Fredbear's opened, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza opens up again. The same stuff happens with Purple Guy stealing the suit and murdering the five kids, and the sixth kid trying to save them, toys act up (but nothing comes of it), Purple Guy gets kicked out, police investigate, blahblahblah. The restaurant has to temporarily close, but there's one more birthday party where Jeremy Fitzgerald supervises and it apparently goes off without a hitch. Police find nothing, but the restaurant decides to shut down anyway and restructure after this party for some reason, the Toys are scrapped for some reason, and the Originals are brought back for some reason, and the animatronic's ability to walk during operation hours is stopped for some reason.
FNaF1: No changes.
Between FNaF1 and FNaF3: No changes, but now we know that Purple Guy was shoved into a suit by FIVE SHITTY-ASS BASTARD KIDDIES. Just a reminder, Purple Guy's son became a vegetable because these kids shoved his face into a lifeless animatronic, and Purple Guy was killed because these kids maneuvered him into hiding in a lifeless animatronic suit. They probably think this is poetic.
FNaF3: Also no changes, except that you helped FIVE SHITTY-ASS BASTARD KIDDIES go to heaven.
Yeah, fuck this game.

Wait, what? When it was told Purple Guy was his father? He barely appeared in this game. Just in one minigame as a cameo in role of an employee. And its not confirmed if those kids were killed. Maybe someone else. Its not like there were only 6 kids in the entire city and there are 11 dead children in FNAF 2 minigames (5 in Give Gifts Give Life one, 5 in Foxy minigame and 1 in Take Cake to the Children minigame). \Fredbear = Golden Freddy. It still makes sense to have both him and Freddy. Also, you don't become a vegetable from getting your frontal lobe damaged or removed, but there still are issues after that.

True, nothing outright confirms it in-game, but I have several points.
- The kid has TONS of Fredbear stuff. Anyone who's been to a similar establishment knows how you get those: by going a lot and spending a lot of money on winning tickets to buy them. It would be much easier if someone worked there. - Plushtrap's existence. Spring Bonnie hasn't been created yet (it's still a Fredbear's and the Springlock suits don't get made until it becomes Freddy Fazbear's Pizza) so this would be a prototype plush if they're working on it. Even if the game comes AFTER the suits are made, Spring Bonnie malfunctioned before it went live, so it would make sense to have a discontinued plush. - The kid is allowed to go to a backstage area with no problems. This is an Easter Egg, but still, this should be taken into account. And yes, Purple Guy is there. - Purple Guy has already been established as a security guard in Game 2. The Toy animatronics start getting hostile towards the security guards in that game following the child murders. - Personal flavor, but it would be poetic justice to get revenge on the five kids with a Golden Freddy suit because that's what they used to ruin your son.
As for the bullies being the victims, remember this bonus game from Game 3?

I know Freddy and Fredbear are established as different characters, what I'm questioning is why the company has Freddy Fazbear at this point in time. The restaurant is still Fredbear's, there's a singing Fredbear, so why is Freddy Fazbear there as well?
Also I did not know that about the frontal lobe. I guess some of his motor skills would be disabled but not outright stopped. thanks!

Scott finally addressed *some* of the criticism.

Hi guys, there has been some confusion about how the breathing mechanic works, and I wanted to clarify. When you first open a door, listen for at least 3 or 4 seconds before deciding whether to close the door or use the light. If you close the door with an animatronic at the far end of the hall, they will get closer and jumpscare you when you open it and turn on the light.
This game can’t be played as fast as previous games, and taking time to listen for the breathing before closing the door is crucial, as closing it too soon will bring something bad to your door!
NOTE: I’m uploading an update right now that does increase the volume of the breathing, as well as hopefully fixing the fullscreen issues for most people. This won’t fix everything for everyone, there are just too many computer setups and configurations to account for. I will continue to try to improve it however
Oh yeah, waiting is a GREAT IDEA when you have at least four things to check at any given moment. And I'm not buying that the fullscreen problems are on our ends.
Oh, also Iced and I were talking about the game last night, and he offered some interesting insights.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
- If Purple Guy is the kid's father, it's very possible that the sixth kid murdered is actually metaphorical. It represents the Purple Guy becoming disillusioned with the company and destroying his own innocence. - If ICED made the game, every day leading up to The Bite would be played differently. It would clearly establish the ways that the bullies torment your character, and you have to avoid them in different ways every scenario (ie: hiding from them during recess, have them harassing you at night while you're about to go to bed, etc) with the whole thing capping off with The Bite. - It's fine that the kids are going to heaven because they are repenting for their sin because CHRISTIANITY.

-True, but there also is such thing as cheap chinese knock-offs. I had a lot of those. -He exists. Purple guy is seen putting head of a suit on random guy working here. Most likely not as hybrid animatronic, but the character still exists. Plushtrap doesn't looks withered, so, its most likely either a normal golden Bonnie plushie or another nightmare. -Might have been an oversight on guards' part. Its hard to tell what happens when cutscenes are made in such way. -This one doesn't adds much. He killed kids even before that. -True.
Oh, right. But then who is the 6th one? And what about 5 others (unless that Foxy minigame meant nothing)?
"Its Freadbear's son/brother/sibling/whatever" or something else that can cover up such lazy reusing of existing assets. And in such case, a kid may want to have both while this wouldn't be possible if only 1 would be used (i doubt someone would buy 2 Fredbear toys/plushies/whatever, but buying Fredbear and Fredbear, but with different color and representing different character is a different thing).
Also, turns out everything in this game happens in 1983: (http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/701784768897544550/48E7EAF280077FFF3E9D8A69632C9F022D36B95B/) But Bite of 87 happens in, well, 1987. This is pretty weird. Its gotta be really bad luck to have same thing happening twice. But this is not an oversight. But then again, it might just be a very outdated show or this minigame is a flashback.

Or FNAF3, where you were forced to wait for systems to reboot and you had to pay attention on what is on the cameras instead of just clicking them mindlessly at high rate, all of this while he is moving. Some things simply can't be rushed. Volume is an issue though.

TO ANSWER THIS, I LOOKED UP PENIS MEASUREMENTS FROM 1987, AND FOUND THE AVERAGE NUMBER TO BE ROUGHLY 7 INCHES FROM BASE.
missed the sudden pause to add in his dumb humor "hold on hold on, before you go measure your penis to see if you're average or not hold on to that for a second... and no i don't mean your penis"

Is anyone else noticing how horrifying this game is? Unlike the first three games, this one feels the most real of them all. The kid's having hallucinations (or nightmares), and they feel so real. The poor child is bullied by his dickhead brother, and other children on a daily basis. He's forced to go to a party with scary ass animatronics, the very ones that cause his trauma. And then what. His dickhead brother and his friends decide to put him in the animatronic, and it kills him.
The part where they're all laughing, and then stop when it bites down really hurts me. This could happen to anyone. Imagine the horror of watching this go down. Brother of the year.

It certainly is the most believable because animatronics shouldn't be able to move or even shove people into suits, but a kid getting his imagination going too far is possible, especially when the only source of light is the flashlight (and many kids are afraid of the dark spaces) and when he gets bullied constantly. Kid survives. You can live without frontal lobe. Not without issues, but its not too bad. But his brother certainly did not wanted this to happen.

-True, but there also is such thing as cheap chinese knock-offs. I had a lot of those. -He exists. Purple guy is seen putting head of a suit on random guy working here. Most likely not as hybrid animatronic, but the character still exists. Plushtrap doesn't looks withered, so, its most likely either a normal golden Bonnie plushie or another nightmare. -Might have been an oversight on guards' part. Its hard to tell what happens when cutscenes are made in such way. -This one doesn't adds much. He killed kids even before that. -True.
Oh, right. But then who is the 6th one? And what about 5 others (unless that Foxy minigame meant nothing)?
"Its Freadbear's son/brother/sibling/whatever" or something else that can cover up such lazy reusing of existing assets. And in such case, a kid may want to have both while this wouldn't be possible if only 1 would be used (i doubt someone would buy 2 Fredbear toys/plushies/whatever, but buying Fredbear and Fredbear, but with different color and representing different character is a different thing).
Also, turns out everything in this game happens in 1983: (http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/701784768897544550/48E7EAF280077FFF3E9D8A69632C9F022D36B95B/) But Bite of 87 happens in, well, 1987. This is pretty weird. Its gotta be really bad luck to have same thing happening twice. But this is not an oversight. But then again, it might just be a very outdated show or this minigame is a flashback.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
I take some of your points up there, but him murdering kids before is something I'm not really buying (except for that sixth kid, which is what makes the dad theory lose traction).
IIRC, a total of six murders happened: Each of the four bullies ends up in a suit. It's possible that the dad killed the older brother too, which would be fucked up but whatevs. The sixth kid is the wildcard in all this, and but since he's watching Fredbear giving out cake, this might be where Purple Guy gets the idea to don the Fredbear suit. There aren't five more kids, it's just the same five kids shown twice in different circumstances.
The game doesn't happen in '83 (that's probably a rerun), it happens in '87, and there's a BIG clue to this. In the same minigame that shows that TV, there's a room that shows the dismembered parts of The Mangle. Remember now, Mangle didn't exist until the Toy robots, and even so, she is a replacement for Foxy. If you argue that it's from '83, then it would definitely tie in with a family member having exclusive access to Fazbear development stuff.
It's most likely that FNaF4 happens in the child's nightmares. This is apparent due to a few small details that seem a little... weird. For example, a randomly appearing IV drip, flowers, etc. Meanwhile, the minigames are most like flashbacks.

FNaF3's engine takes a much more different, more complete feel. That feel being strategically guiding Springtrap away from you. Getting hit by a jumpscare is a punishment for fucking up at preventing the conditions (usually seeing them on camera). The reboot actually serves two purposes: encouraging you to use your resources sparingly, and also to build up suspense as you're waiting for the system to finish rebooting.

He doesn't die though. It's implied that he's either in a coma or suffering from PTSD. Whether what you play is the coma or the actual buildup to the bite is disputed.

Well, its still possible.
There were 5 dead children in another minigame where you have to follow the Puppet. It happens when Toy animatronics were still active and Golden Freddy can be found randomly, in his usual pose, along with Mangle and Purple Guy. This happens before this place is closed by the end of the week because then no one should be here and Toy animatronics were scrapped, but Bite of 87 happened on that week, so, those bullies are alive, yet there are corpses. Are those same as dead children seen in other minigames? If yes, then why are withered and toy animatronics attacking both Fritz and Jeremy? And why Foxy minigame still has 5 dead children even though it all happens in 1st game's pizzeria (Pirate Cove is here and Foxy actually comes out)?
Makes sense. It would make no sense for the pizzeria to say open after 2 bites. And about having access to exclusive stuff - he is just a (night?) guard here. Why would he have access to that?
Makes sense.

And I hope he confirms that Phone Guy is a different dude So that He (MatPat) can drop his theory on him.

The thing is that the newspaper in the 1st game mentions a grand total of five kids. If you looked at every bonus game at face value, the number would be closer to 15 (the S-A-V-E-T-H-E-M game and all its variants). In that sense, however, that way overshoots the victim count.
The Toy Animatronics aren't posessed at all. All of them were given technology to identify child predators and protect them, and by default, they go to rooms with noises assuming that kids are there. Additionally, Phone Guy does mention that their programing is faulty, and later on in the week he confirms that they've been tampered with to become hostile towards employees (more likely, they witnessed Purple Man commit a murder and are now suspicious of other staff members).
As far as getting exclusive stuff, it's happened. Even grocery stores let their lowest-ranking employees try out new products they're developing to see if they can market them. The double benefit is that it allows the employee to make sale recommendations based on personal experience rather than a factsheet.
@Segatron: If anything, this game may have strengthened the Phone Guy = Purple Guy theory if you read my theories in the spoilers. HOWEVER, it would be stupid for Phone Guy to survive getting shoved into a normal Freddy suit in the first game that kills you, especially since the suits that could accomodate a human body were discontinued way before this game.

Makes sense. Also, just watched a video of cutscene that goes before night 4 and there are 3 more kids (not teenagers) and those are not the bullies. They are smaller (one has Spring Bonnie plush, another one looks is...wide and has a ballon, another one is just weird). There is also a teenager that sounds like a bully, but he most likely is one of those who was responsible for the bite. So, we have 3-4 more possible victims (by that, i mean one of those could be one of the victims rather than that there were more of them).

You don't need to play this game. Even if you've been invested in the series up till now, it's just going to disappoint you and rankle your nerves. The interesting gimmicks have been completely rung out of the franchise; this game is imaginatively bone dry. The louder, nastier jump scares that are left are just a crass attempt to try and distract you from the lack of innovation. The story, the ongoing mystery of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, and the strange goings-on surrounding it are best left to your personal headcanon or favorite fan theory.
You'd be better served experiencing Five Nights at Freddy's 4 the way it was obviously intended to be enjoyed. By going on YouTube and watching some twenty-five-year-old, dressed like a fourteen-year-old, scream and cry his way through the game like a seven-year-old.
The game truly has come full circle.

That is true. They don't ALL have to be associated with the Bite although that messes up the pattern a bit. The girl seems like a possible victim though since she seems pretty rude to the kid, and since Golden Freddy's laugh in the first game is a girl's laugh. The last cutscene in FNaF4 seems to hint that the victim of the bite becomes Golden Freddy (aka Fredbear), but he's still alive unless you want to get into the idea that the kid's spirit is in the suit while his physical body is just a comatose shell, and that ends up breaking the rules of the bodies actually being in the suits.
Well it's mentioned in the Night 1 call in FNaF2 that the toys shoving you into the suit is a "glitch" due to them seeing you as an endoskeleton rather than a person when it's night. That part is legit. This is also backed up by the fact that the Toys become less active as the nights go on and the originals become more active, because the originals that have the kids in them actually ARE hunting a security guard specifically. When they get "tampered with" later on in the week, the implication is that now they ARE moving in for the kill.

I personally don't believe Phone Guy did it, but if I were to play devil's advocate, I would say that he's not aware of the paranormal activity in the animatronics and is basically being in denial in the second game, but getting more suspicious in the first game.

Spoiler: Theorycrafting(click to see content)
Even though the cutscenes make it seem like this is a kid having nightmares about Fredbear's as a lead up to a birthday party, I think this actually takes place long after the Bite of '87. The kid is alive but comatose after having his frontal lobe destroyed, and this is all a coma dream he's experiencing, brought on by a combination of emotional trauma and severe brain damage. This accounts for the hallucinations of an IV drip or vase of flowers that occasionally appear; They're fragments of the real world hospital room he's actually in bleeding into his awareness in the nightmare. Likewise, the minigames aren't necessarily an accurate representation of what actually happened, but as they were remembered by the kid.
As for the bullies, there isn't really any evidence to suggest that they became the victims of the later murders. If anything, I feel like there's a bigger chance they're not. For one, their graphics make them appear much older than the how the victim children appeared in the FnaF 2 and 3 minigames. And for two, they appear to be in their mid to late teens, and their bodies would be too big for the killer to hide in the animatronics.
If my theory holds, this game doesn't actually change anything we already know about the FnaF lore, except now we know the Purple Guy's motive for committing the murders:
- His son was grievously injured by one of the animatronics and will likely never wake up again. - He doesn't find out who was actually responsible for it, so he decides to take his revenge on the restaurant for allowing it to happen. - First, he abducts and kills the first child in the parking lot outside the restaurant, but this incident doesn't get tied back to Fredbear's. This is why the newspaper in FnaF 1 only mentions 5 children who went missing. - Since the first plan didn't work, he proceeds to abduct and murder 5 more children during the events of FnaF 2, this time directly within the restaurant, and hides their bodies in the animatronics, hoping that this time the murders will be pinned on the restaurant.

Hey guys, just a quick update on a few things.
First of all, thanks for all of the birthday wishes even though it's not my birthday. There is a lot of misinformation about me on the internet, surprise, surprise. ;)

Well, I think I know now, but it will be very different from what you may be expecting, so I'm asking you all to trust me that I'm going to make something really cool for you!
EDIT: Whatever I release on Halloween will most likely NOT expand upon FNaF4; I'm happy with it as it is. And no it won't be a sequel either. ;)

Is there any chance someone would or could eventually create a mod that makes Fnaf4 playable for deaf people? A simple solution would be a small red dot appearing on the screen when you are supposed to hear the animatronics breathe. It could be very faded and hard to see to simulate having to listen very closely for the breathing. It would also be handy for people that don't have headphones good enough to listen for it.

Freddy's laugh is a girl's laugh too. Just slowed down. As for bodies being in the suits, they most likely were removed (police found out that kids were murdered, but they would need to find the bodies for that and i think it was said they did and if thats the case, then its obvious that they would remove those) and even then, Golden Freddy doesn't exists in first game as an actual animatronic (there is no reflection of him, he randomly teleports and he still can kill you) and doesn't acts like something physical in 2nd game either. He also appears in 3rd game despite, yet again, not existing.
Mangle goes way too far with that though. Unless it was intentional (explaining why Mangle has sharp teeth, but its bulls**t either way because this animatronic is supposed to be with the kids and there is a possibility of another bite), but its not a good idea to kill people in such way when pizzeria is still open. And what if it was same birthday party as in 4th game? Its 1987 and bite happened on same year.

What if it was THAT birthday party? And its a good idea to shut down Toys if they are so easily turned into murderous robots. Another good reason is that after the pizzeria gets shut down due to dead children incident, it moves into smaller location and it would be more expensive to keep more complex animatronics. They already gave up on Mangle.

Unless it was intentional (explaining why Mangle has sharp teeth, but its bulls**t either way because this animatronic is supposed to be with the kids and there is a possibility of another bite), but its not a good idea to kill people in such way when pizzeria is still open. And what if it was same birthday party as in 4th game? Its 1987 and bite happened on same year.

The bodies weren't removed from the animatronics.
FNAF1 (http://i.imgur.com/CXmwaAu.png)
Scott Cawthon, in an early interview for the first game, said that Golden Freddy was basically just a weird idea he had in development, so whatever he does in the first game isn't really that credible (in this case, teleport directly into an office). The second game is where the Golden Freddy mythos starts taking shape, and yeah, his motions are very surreal. However, in the minigame "Give Gifts, Give Life," the puppet places the Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, and Foxie masks on the dead kids. As soon as you place the last mask, a fifth child appears, but before you can do anything (possibly even before you notice him there) you get jumpscared. Who does the jumpscare? Golden Freddy. So it's pretty safe to assume that the fifth child is in the Fredbear suit, as paranormal and intangible as it is.
For Mangle, I don't know how much you know about its storyline, but according to the Night 3 phone call in FNaF2, it originally started off as an animatronic, but kids kept breaking it so the staff got tired of repairing it so they just left it in pieces for the kids to take apart and put together however they liked. Obviously in this case, Mangle would be entirely inoperable. You could argue that it's bad for there to be sharp teeth on it, but hey, so are exposed animatronic parts and cables.
What if it was THAT birthday party? And its a good idea to shut down Toys if they are so easily turned into murderous robots. Another good reason is that after the pizzeria gets shut down due to dead children incident, it moves into smaller location and it would be more expensive to keep more complex animatronics. They already gave up on Mangle.

It's not the same party for several reasons:
The Night 6 Phone Call in FNaF2 says that Fredbear was delegated to being "a spare in the back," which they find was used to carry out the murders. It would be really weird to bring out a vital piece of evidence in a murder case to perform for an audience.
Again, reminder that the restaurant in FNaF2 doesn't use any of the old models. The Toys are retooled versions of the old characters to be "super kid-friendly." All the old models are hanging out in the backroom to be scavenged for replacement parts. So even if they didn't have that tact, it would be weird to have an outdated model next to their revamped ones.
The Night 5 phone call in FNaF2 reveals that Fredbear's Family Diner (which used to own the restaurant that Fazbear Entertainment bought) was closed for years.
If you want a real life comparison, there were originally TWO children-themed restaurants with animatronic shows in North America: Showbiz Pizza, and Chuck E. Cheese's. It's a long story but basically Showbiz bought Chuck E. Cheese, and then creator's rights stuff happened so all Showbiz Pizzas were rebranded as Chuck E. Cheese's, and the Showbiz mascots were removed and replaced with Chuck E. Cheese ones. Here's a corporate video that gave instructions on how to convert the existing animatronics into Chuck E. Cheese models (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suFroHhG86w).
The point of all this is that when a restaurant is rebranded, there's no reason for the old mascots to have any stage presence. I won't go into a Chuck E. Cheese expecting to see Billy Bob, and a kid in FNaF's universe wouldn't go into Freddy Fazbear's Pizza expecting to see Fredbear.
The Toys didn't exhibit any murderous behavior during day hours. According to the Night 4 phone call, they're fine with the kids, but they just "stared" at adults. If this was the extent of their behavior during the day, they'd just need to get some repairs done on their system at some point. If they full-on attacked someone, though, then I'd see why they'd shut the whole place down.
So in summary, FNaF4 introduces a huge plot hole in this game. If it happens in 1987, Fredbear shouldn't be the one biting the child. If it happens before 1987, then the restaurant chain has no reason to disable the walking animatronics in FNaF1.

Wait, what? So, did the bodies suddenly disappeared, nobody noticed blood on animatronics or just the smell or what? This doesn't makes any sense. First one is possible considering how much weird stuff (including Golden Freddy) is happening in the games, but not others.
What he does in the first game (teleporting into the office) also applies to 2nd and 3rd game (except he doesn't attacks in 3rd one and he also lacks that burnt appearance that Phantoms have, so, maybe he isn't one). I know that fifth child is in the Fredbear, but i don't think he still remains here like others.
I know about that. But sharp teeth always were here (and they are present on Foxy), so, its more of an issue.

Makes sense. Still don't understand why no one fixed the glitch once its been found out what they do at night (someone should have been stuffed into the suit first for Phone Guy to hear/know about it because thats not the first thing you think about when hearing about animatronics walking around at night and attempting to harm the night guard) in such case.

That's only if you're assuming that Fredbear was immediately replaced with Freddy Fazbear at the time when they rebranded the place. That "Fredbear and Friends" cartoon easter egg suggests that that cadre of characters existed at least as far back as 1983.
Also worth considering: The company that actually runs Fazbear's has been pretty consistently portrayed as not giving a hard boiled shit about things like safety or maintenance or spending a single dime more than they absolutely have to on that restaurant. It's conceivable that after they made the shift from Fredbear to Freddy they just kept using the Fredbear stuff as long as they possibly could in order to cut costs, and just sold it as "Golden Freddy."

So yeah, there was some pointers that they were in the suit. Now it's entirely possible that those are the remains from Phone Guy and the night guards that came before Mike Schmidt (Night 3's phone call says congratulates you on making it that far claiming that most night guards don't last that long), but considering the evidence in the minigames for 2 and 3, I'd say it's more likely those are the kids' remains.
As far as Golden Freddy showing up in FNaF3, there's pretty strong evidence that he's now Phantom Freddy. Compare these rips from the games.
Golden Freddy in FNaF2 (http://i.imgur.com/kp1npLU.png)
Phantom Freddy in FNaF3 (http://i.imgur.com/OxSN6jU.png)
Note how Phantom Freddy is missing the same ear as Golden Freddy, has the exact same mic, and has wires sticking out of him like that. Some people argue that the mysterious Freddy hallucination in the office in FNaF3 is Golden Freddy, but as the game is naturally green tinted, people have found that removing the green tints makes Freddy look Purple (like Shadow Freddy).
Makes sense. Still don't understand why no one fixed the glitch once its been found out what they do at night (someone should have been stuffed into the suit first for Phone Guy to hear/know about it because thats not the first thing you think about when hearing about animatronics walking around at night and attempting to harm the night guard) in such case.
Oh this one's actually pretty easy to answer. The FNaF1 phone call on Night One details that the company will not take responsibility for damages to its staffers, and that if anything happens, they'll just file a Missing Person report and bleach the carpets. They also state that they NEED the animatronics to walk around at night or their servos lock up.
If that sounds messed up, in FNaF3, Night Three's phone call instructs that if someone gets caught in a springlock malfunction to make sure that they make it to the "safe room" so that they can bleed out without customers seeing them (although on Night Four, they discontinue the suits after multiple springlock failures happen.
In short: they just don't give a shit unless it drives customers away, so I'm sure they're not worried about kids playing with exposed animatronic parts that have sharp teeth, nor do they care about their employees getting shoved into suits.
I see your point, but the only thing that that really proves is that the restaurant has masks for the kids to wear. Any kid can wear a mask.

This is mostly guesswork, but if you notice the Game Over screen in FNaF1, it can comfortably fit a grown man, and the only real giveaway that there's a person in there is that his eyeballs are hanging out in front of the suit.

If FNaF4 takes place before '87, then that's probably a good enough reason to rebrand as fast as possible.
Holding onto Fredbear for that long and selling it as Golden Freddy in 1987 wouldn't work though. Recall that in FNaF2 on the Night Six call, Phone Guy refers to him as merely "a spare in the back, a yellow one." This is especially odd for Phone Guy since he seems to be one of the higher ups in the company based on his calls in FNaF2 and 3, and he can only barely remember the name of the restaurant they bought out. Another thing to keep in mind: by the time FNaF2 happens, the chain has gone through two changes: Fredbear's Family Diner -> Fazbear restaurant we never see -> Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in FNaF2. As there is an old Freddy Fazbear animatronic that exists for that second restaurant, it would be really weird to have both simultaneously.
And like I said above, they are frugal with their spending IF it doesn't have a negative impact on the customers. So yeah, I'm sure they know they wouldn't fool anyone if they put Fredbear out there and tried to convince people that it's really a Golden version of their mascot.

So, those are kids' corpses...but here is something that bothers me. How did they found out that kids were murdered? Bodies were never found, so, they either would need camera footage (in which case they would either know where bodies are or animatronics would never have that fould smell and blood reports), stupid murderer who will tell about what he did or eyewitnesses.
I didn't noticed that before, but then where is Freddy? Why Golden Freddy suddenly can move properly when he kept his usual pose even after he no longer remainied a real animatronic (yes, he was a random thing in first game, but he was kept as supernatural something that shouldn't exist the way it does, so, it doesn't matters why he was done this way)?

Judging by how many company secrets he knew according to FNaF3, I'm going to guess that he's lying, as he pretty much starts dropping the subtlety as the nights go on (and I wouldn't be surprised if Fritz Smith. But yeah, even if he wasn't lying, it doesn't change the original point that I was making there that Fazbear Entertainment really doesn't give a shit about their employees.
I concede that the teenagers could conceivably be stuffed into the animatronics, but not in such a way that they wouldn't be found immediately.

Fredbear's operator's face was just barely poking out of the mouth. You can see the person in Springtrap because it's a literal suit for people to wear, and because it's been rotting in a room for roughly 30-40 years.

That would be a good argument if it wasn't for TWO big problems in the FNaF4 minigames: The Mangle is in the other bedroom in Night 1's minigame, and the rest of the Toys are owned by a girl in the Night 3 minigame. So somehow these characters exist in this era even though their creation was likely based on something bad in the past (that hasn't happened yet).

FNAF1 (http://i.imgur.com/0BbIvOD.png) Yeah the bodies were never found, the kids are just missing according to the authorities, but watching the minigames proves that they're murdered.
As far as where Freddy went... well, into a different animatronic! Notice that while they aren't the same characters, there are six phantoms (Freddy, Foxy, Chica, Balloon Boy, Mangle, and Puppet). Now you may be saying "there were only five kids that got killed!" This is where things get a little funky. Have a look at Puppet's appearance on CAM 08 in FNaF3

He looks perfectly fine as if he wasn't burnt at all. He is the only Phantom viewable on any of the cameras to not look burnt. Now while it's possible this is an oversight, The Puppet has done enough weird shit in this series that he probably isn't one of the kids and is just an unknown entity. Or the kids are assuming multiple forms for the hell of it.

Now you may be saying "there were only five kids that got killed!" This is where things get a little funky. Have a look at Puppet's appearance on CAM 08 in FNaF3
(http://i.imgur.com/0RbDb8m.png)
He looks perfectly fine as if he wasn't burnt at all. He is the only Phantom viewable on any of the cameras to not look burnt. Now while it's possible this is an oversight, The Puppet has done enough weird shit in this series that he probably isn't one of the kids and is just an unknown entity. Or the kids are assuming multiple forms for the hell of it.

I know that they were murdered (and it was pretty messy since you can find blood in a lot of places, including show stage), but police saying that they were murdered so early when they could be kidnapped or something.
I don't understand this line. How can he go into a different animatronic? And i know that at least 6 kids were killed, but its still weird that Freddy and Bonnie are missing while others are still here. And why would any of them look damaged when they don't really exist anyway? This all is just confusing...
He is also the only one who has a reflection...somehow. And if he actually is an animatronic (something thats hard to believe since its too thin to have any kind of endoskeleton and too creepy for such place), he is also the only possessed animatronic with no corpse inside, so, maybe this weird shit has something to do with that? Kinda like with GF in 1st game?

The man was apprehended based on security camera footage. In FNaF3, it's revealed that there are secret rooms in the restaurants that aren't monitored by cameras, so probably the most that the camera picked up was Purple Guy walking in with two kids, then walking out alone. Obviously you can't 100% say that the kids are dead if you're just basing it on the video footage, but you can assume that's the case.
Maybe "going into" different animatronics is the wrong word. It's more like "assuming the form of" different animatronics. The first thing to mention is that the kids are no longer bound to the animatronic bodies in FNaF3 because Purple Guy disassembles all of those animatronics and the ghost roam around free as shown in the Night 5 minigame. So yeah, it's probably that they can assume different forms. As for the burnt appearance, the suggestion is that it's foreshadowing for Fazbear Frights getting set on fire and burnt to the ground at the end of FNaF3.
As far as Puppet goes, he's an enigma. Some say he's the sixth child who actually learned how to bond himself to an animatronic and then did that for the rest. Phone Guy mentions that he's sentient and can "go anywhere." Additionally, he's still around during FNaF1 (based on the FNaF2 cutscenes), so he's probably not completely explainable.

Well Either Puppet being like this was Scott's error or Like How MatPat had pointed in his "theory" that he was the surviving animatronic to avenge the victims of Purple Guy (AKA SpringTrap) Otherwise Look at the reflection Plus He was locked along with Toy ANIMATRONICS . I guess somehow it escaped and got the building burned to ground to destroy his murderer. Well or we thought so speaking of which how did that child ended up in the puppet anyway thats bothering me alot.

Makes sense.
That could be the case here. Still don't understand why they scare the night guard. If they want to make him leave, then something like nightmare animatronics would work a lot better if they can assume any form instead of using severely damaged and burned animatronics.
Makes sense except for one part - Puppet didn't existed at the time when the child was murdered (if location shown really is the first one), so, did he/she just wait for it to appear or it was his/her creation?

Puppet shouldn't be here as anything, but phantom if his mask is hanging on the wall. I doubt its Scott's mistake since giving it reflection can't be done by accident.

That would be a good argument if it wasn't for TWO big problems in the FNaF4 minigames: The Mangle is in the other bedroom in Night 1's minigame, and the rest of the Toys are owned by a girl in the Night 3 minigame. So somehow these characters exist in this era even though their creation was likely based on something bad in the past (that hasn't happened yet).
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
The graphics aren't clear enough to really tell if the plush toys that little girl had are actually the Toy versions of the characters. Regular Bonnie was blue in the FnaF 3 minigame. As for Mangle, I get the feeling that that's supposed to be more of an easter egg than anything else, because why else would there be a Mangle animatronic inside that kid's parent's bedroom, and why would it already be disassembled if it's not even in the restaurant?
Not everything that you see in these games should be taken at face value or considered immutable. All information about the underlying story is fragmented, scattered, and incomplete at best, and literally nothing is ever explicitly stated. The minigames are crude, cryptic hints at past events, and the line between what's actually there and what's just a hallucination is basically non-existent. When you're trying to piece everything together, you can't take anything for granted.

Two theories: The first is the most unlikely, but it assumes that the kids still are trying to get revenge on a security guard and they mistake you for the Purple Guy, because even if he's in the Springtrap suit, maybe they think he might've escaped somehow (he's jittering when they leave him). The other is that they're hoping to scare him out before the fire or maybe even before Springtrap gets to the office (except that their efforts are totally misguided). The Nightmare forms are the imagination of the child of the fourth game, so it doesn't really make sense for the kids to tap into that.
There are multiple theories on where The Puppet comes from. Most people say it's the kid outside of the building in the FNaF2 minigame where you play as Freddy giving cakes to angry kids. The justification of that is that his tears resemble the eye patterns on Puppet's face and that the Puppet jumpscares you after the game is over. Others say that he's just a regular ol' animatronic that was given the ability to think and move anywhere. His existence is one of the few mysteries FNaF has yet to explain, and I really hope it stays that way.

Mangle just hanging out in the parents' bedroom was one of the things that made me consider Purple Guy being this kid's dad. As far as it being an Easter Egg goes, so far NOTHING Scott has introduced as an Easter Egg has just stayed at that (well except honking Freddy's nose). Golden Freddy was just an Easter Egg in the first game, but now he's one of the biggest plot points in the game. FNaF2 introduced Shadow Freddy and Shadow Bonnie who were just Easter Eggs, but then both showed up in some form in FNaF3 (the former as the spirit that leads the animatronics to Purple Man, and the latter who is the playable character in the Glitch Minigame). It wouldn't surprise me one bit if The Mangle is actually existing in that space.

Yeah, it would be pretty obvious that he is going to die once screams stop and floor becomes covered in blood. And i ment something similar to those nightmares. Not a copy. Adult seeing that shit while being hunted by giant rabbit with permanent grin will certainly either give him a heart attack or give him a reason to leave that place and its not hard to come up with something like this
He doesn't really look like he can be an animatronic (too thin). But yeah, he is better left as the unknown entity responsible for half of this shit.

does anyone finds it to be weird that Golden Freddy's laugh now has lower pitch than Freddy's and he is the biggest threat (outside of Nightmare, but its pretty much same thing) while his laugh had no extra effects applied (making it obvious that its a little girl's laugh) and he was least of your worries in 1st game?

I have a theory on the puppet that's a little bit more out there than most. While I do think that the Puppet is being controlled by the first child that was murdered outside the restaurant, my thoughts are that the puppet itself is actually not an animatronic. Looking at its design, there's no room anywhere for any moving parts or anything. I think it was originally supposed to be a regular, non-moving decoration and is being manipulated by that spirit like... well, like a puppet. The people working at the restaurant don't seem to care about anything else, so when the puppet started to move around they probably just assumed it was always supposed to do that like every other creepy thing there.

Maybe, but until we know otherwise I'm comfortable dismissing Mangle being there as not being significant, because even if we assume it's an intentional clue I cannot come up with any kind of justification as to why Purple Guy, pre-murderous rampage, would take one of the animatronics home, destroy it, and leave it in his room. Remember, Mangle isn't actually "the Mangle" in terms of the restaurant. It's supposed to be a new girl Foxy character that the staff got tired of fixing and just left it busted on the weak premise of being a "take apart and put back together" game.

Maybe it was a toy of Toy Foxy, but got mangled (lol) by the big brother (and not Purple Guy because...why?). There is a toy (not plushie) of Toy Bonnie that you can get for the desk by completing challenges on custom night in 2nd game, so, it certainly is possible.

Hi guys. First of all, I wanted to thank the community in general for the huge outpouring of support through emails and in the forums. I know a lot of you are concerned about me or think that I’m stressed out. It’s true that I’m stressed a little; but it’s ok because the result was good. I’ve worked very hard this year, almost non-stop, to produce good games for this series. Even though there may be some debate as to how “good” the games are, I did my best to provide some good scares and a good story. All I can do is judge from the Steam reviews that I’ve been mostly successful; so I’m very happy about that.
It’s true that there has been a lot of hate toward me lately; on the forums, on youtube, etc. And I’ll be honest, it’s difficult. It’s difficult when people seem to dislike you only because you’ve found success with something. I think some people have this idea that I spend my days swimming in gold coins like Scrooge McDuck, cranking out games with no effort, then laughing all the way to the bank. The reality is quite different, and I think that people who hate on me for being successful are misguided.
Did you know that last year I was working at Dollar General? I worked as a cashier. I had three bosses who were all still in high school. Before that I worked at Target in the backroom freezer, unloading frozen foods. I haven’t had a successful life; and now that God has blessed me with some success, I’m doing my best to be responsible with that success. I don’t party on weekends, I don’t get drunk or sip martinis. I spend my evenings playing Megaman 3, buster only, with my kids. And I try to good with what’s been given to me.
I guess the reason I’m telling you all of this is to make sure you know that I’m human. I have a lot of flaws, and I’ve made a lot of mistakes. My games aren’t perfect, and they never will be. But something more important that I want to convey to all of you, is that you should never listen to people who criticize success simply because it’s success. Being good at something is something to strive for, not something to demonize. Criticisms of my games are fine, and a lot of times the criticism is valid. But there are a lot of people out there who will hate anything that becomes popular, just because it’s popular, and hate anyone who becomes successful, just because they are successful. “Haters gonna hate.” –as they say, but I want you to know that focusing on someone else’s failure or success is the wrong way to live. People who make videos bashing other people are like people who run into a public square and scream into a pillow. They’ll get attention, but they won’t change anything. If you strive to be like them, then you’ll spend your life screaming into a pillow as well, and your life won’t mean anything.
The best emails I get are from people who have chosen to pursue game development because of the games that I’ve made, or people who have decided to do computer science, or learn programming. Who will be the next game designer? Who will make the next game for Markiplier to play? Make sure that it’s you! People who hate success will never be successful. Focus on your success, and your story. People always ask me what college I recommend, or what programs I recommend. My answer is to just go forward, practice. Just GET to college, study hard, be awesome at what you do. Make sure that you are next year’s big success story. Don’t fall into the pit of people who have given up on making something of themselves, and make sure you make EVERYTHING out of yourself.
I’m getting too old for this. And when I retire someday, I’m going to want to sit down at a computer and play YOUR games, read YOUR stories, and watch YOUR videos. Don’t fall in with the people who have already given up on themselves. You are tomorrow’s next big thing. :)

Well, thats a pretty good answer. And he sounds like a normal guy. I still don't understand those who thinks he is just printing those games with no effort put into it and then drowns in money. First of all - try doing same. I mean, you know, create a successful unique game with huge fanbase that wants a sequel and then actually make 3 sequels thats are both different from previous games and just as successful and well received. And all of this WITH NO OTHER DEVELOPERS HELPING YOU. All by yourself. Coding, models, animations, sounds. All of it. Oh, and do it all within 2 years. And only THEN talk shit about him. Giving feedback, positive or negative, is fine, but not just "its popular, so, it sucks" shit. There is a reason why its popular after all. Oh, and he gives a pretty good lesson to all of indie developers. He turned his failure into success through dedication.

Damn, Scott wrote something that sounds a lot like something i'd say, only not as great. He's completely right though, you can't hate on someone because their successful and have riches and your assume that they were just in it for the money. Shit, Scotts been releasing updates to try and improve fnaf4! If he was just in it for the money, he wouldn't interact with his fans like he does and never listen to their feedback and never update his games to try and make them fun and balanced. It's sad as hell that there are people who just hate because its a hobby. Haters are my biggest motivators though, and scotts speech motivated me to try and reach success even more than i was already motivated to. My hats off to him and my respect is his!

But I have one word RESPECT For all the hardwork and your dedication and for all support you got from fans of your game. I would like to thank him. Atleast We can discuss and make theories on the general story he put for us. I wonder how the movie will go http://kotaku.com/five-things-you-should-know-about-the-five-nights-at-fr-1721103921?utm_campaign=Socialflow_Kotaku_Facebook&utm_source=Kotaku_Facebook&utm_medium=Socialflow Looking good here...cant wait to see on screen soon. who know the missing links might be provided there. I dont know if you are planning to end the game here but then again....
THANK YOU SCOTT CAWTHON

Scott is helping with it, so, i don't think there will be issues with the plot...but then there is everything else. Including how camera is handled and how much time the main "villains" get attraction. Remember Cloverfield? Had both problems (camera used was literally a normal camera and the monster itself appeared for like a full minute through the entire movie). At least animatronics are, well, animatronics in this movie. Im sure CGI will be used one way or another (if things like Shadow animatronics, Puppet, twitching animatronic heads, running Foxy, etc. are going to be in the movie), but at least not for the whole thing.

Hello Jango welcome to GAME THEORY @Jango Hakamichi.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Here is a problem in all of this - Nightmare. He clearly is not Fredbear. There is no reason to see him as something transparent black and yellow (and there is also no reason to see anyone except for Fredbear when he should have traumatized the kid more than other animatronics since he kinda sorta accidentally...killed him and the plushie representing Fredbear was one of his only friends). He also restarts the game upon jumpscaring the player and has completly different sound. And then there is Plushtrap, who looks too much like Springtrap even though he should be at least gold instead of green (other animatronics keep their color). So, there is clearly more to it than kid having nightmares.

hes actually right scientifically but yea not the video I am waiting for from him. He will be doing the Lore one next which is what I THOUGHT this was before I watched it. Either way his facts line up assuming this is the victim, but he is mainly overthinking this one just to overthink it lol.

And he incorrectly said that Bite can't happen with the protagonist. Yeah, it can. Game itself is impossible this way though...if it really is a normal dream. We have shit like Puppet, Springtrap and Golden Freddy anyway and Fredbear's last few words about fixing the kid are suspicious (he certainly can't fix his brain or remove memories of the event, so, what can he fix?) and the kid dies after that.

the other games don't take place in a person's mind it actually happens. This theory is basically saying cause scientifically if your frontal lobe is bitten off this is what a person would go through, no fear or anything of the sort. The other games could easily happen and Matt's theory still hold on this one. As for the game being impossible THAT IS THE IDEA of the theory. He got bit and lost the part of his brain that would allow any of this to take place in his imagination or "nightmare".

They happen in real world. And that is worse because dreams can be very random, but not reality. Theory is still true, but it doesn't makes it impossible for the kid to be bitten. It is impossible for game to happen this way though.

the kid could easily have gotten bitten and the rest take place the fact is this kid would not have these nightmares as it is literally IMPOSSIBLE for him to imagine these things. You basically just stated the theory exactly as matt patt said lol. The point of the theory is to state that the creator rushed and screwed up making his own story by telling an impossible story. That is the point.

He never said that it was impossible for the kid to be bitten. He said that it was impossible for the game to play the way it does because a victim of such an incident would have no response to fear as a result.

I was talking about what he said at the end. "There is no single way the main character of FNAF4 can be the Bite of '87 victim like Scott seems to have indicated". Technically, it is possible. The character himself doesn't disappears. But those nightmares can't happen.

Then i probably misunderstood what he said at the end.
By the way, why only frontal lobe was damaged anyway? Considering how far the kid was showed into Fredbear's mouth, his entire head should have been damaged or severed (if his jaws are strong enough, but i doubt it). Unless its just the angle and kid was hanging by small part of his head instead.

It was probably the endoskeleton's teeth that did most of the biting. The inner teeth. The outer ones are most likely for show and couldn't do damage.

Outer teeth still look like they aren't made of rubber either. And why are those endoskeleton teeth even here? Real endoskeletons lack those. Its more expensive (yeah, not by much, but still) than not having them and less dangerous too. And they weren't removed long after the bite (but endoskeletons themselves have changed).

Well the outer teeth are much larger and without significant sharpness wouldn't just crush rather slice through. Look at the endoskeleton though. They have much smaller teeth that could easily be sharp. (http://i.imgur.com/JGMP0W9.png)

Finally I was able to get this post through.
I can just imagine all the Game Theory fans waIting for their lord and savior MattPat to explain everything logically, but instead he just takes a diarrhea dump on Scott for a scientific inaccuracy and they all slit their wrists in depression. You have a storyline about the ghosts of kids possessing animatronic suits and a pizza entertainment place making animatronic/human hybrid suits that can kill you if you simply BREATHE on the wrong parts, and he's complaining about a frontal lobe lobotomy not being portrayed correctly? The fact that he had to pull the medical inaccuracy card on this series shows that he really doesn't know what he's talking about, and is pretty much just in it for dat youtube gold (surprise surprise).
I mean, yeah, I dislike FNaF4 and I don't think its storyline meshes with the first 3 games at all, but I will at least argue it on the story's terms, not some bullshit medical claims. When you analyze fiction, you do so on the work's terms, not your own. Just to illustrate, let me "debunk" some other franchises on those same grounds.
Portal 2's storyline cannot ever happen because Aperture Science was commercially able to yank homeless people off the streets and pay them $100 to do life-threatening experiments without ANY legal problems.
Super Mario Bros 3's storyline cannot ever happen because in the submarine level, Mario is able to swim through lava, and in real life people will catch on fire merely by standing near it.
Tekken's storyline cannot ever happen because Heihachi survived a bomb at point-blank range without a scratch, whereas in real life, a person would be dead and probably in pieces.
Pulp Fiction's storyline cannot ever happen because Jules' bible verse is not an actual bible verse.
The Land Before Time's storyline cannot ever happen because Apatosaurus was from the Jurassic Period and Tyrannosaurus Rex was from the Cretaceous Period.
The Lion King's storyline cannot ever happen because hyenas don't sound like Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin, or Jim Cummings.
I could do this all day.
Now in response to the other stuff, goddamn Scott Cawthon thinks he can get away with that sob letter because he's a living human being? Why that son of a...
Scott said:
I don’t party on weekends, I don’t get drunk or sip martinis. I spend my evenings playing Megaman 3, buster only, with my kids. And I try to good with what’s been given to me.
Scott confirmed for Best Dad
and also the picture of the animatronics in progress give me some hope on the movie.

That would still involve damaging whatever part of kid gets in the way. Slicing isn't necessary for this situation and probably would result in death earlier due to simply bleeding to death (teeth somehow would have to reach the frontal lobe, but there is a layer of bones, muscles and skin that must be damaged to reach it and there are a lot of those endoskeleton teeth). Yeah, look like something that really shouldn't be here. And even after the bite, they remain on the endoskeletons despite their change between 2 games.
Super Mario Bros 3's storyline cannot ever happen because in the submarine level, Mario is able to swim through lava, and in real life people will catch on fire merely by standing near it.
Er...Donkey Kong can't be real because average adult human (especially one like Mario) can barely jump, floating platforms in 80's were not possible, gorillas can't be so big and Mario shouldn't be able to swing the hammer. Going that far wasn't necessary.
But yeah. He is kinda late with questioning logic and reality in FNAF. Animatronics from 80's and 90's shouldn't be able to move around (they were allowed to walk around freely during the day and it was acknowledged, so, its not part of the possession stuff), they also shouldn't be able to stuff people into suits (animatronics are known to be very fragile) and shit like Foxy and Mangle's teeth and exposed wires shouldn't be allowed because they are obviously dangerous.

Yes. Its pretty obvious with "The Lion King's storyline cannot ever happen because hyenas don't sound like Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin, or Jim Cummings." Just sayin' you could have started at the roots.
Also, "food for thought" for you (involves pretty useful texture rips from this game):
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
(http://i.imgur.com/Ycym0Ke.png) Texture rip of Nightmare from Extras menu. So, does he represents the kid's whole trauma from animatronics and the bite? The only parts that aren't transparent (which means they are the only important parts) on him are endoskeleton (which is main part of the animatronic), teeth and brain (which are exactly what was involved in the bite). Well, this and bowtie along with the hat. Anyway, this explains his name and lack of any normal name like Fredbear, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy and Freddy have.

Uh dude? You know he's just an entertainer right? He's done theory videos like that before, so why are you so surprised about this particular one? Also, they're just theories. Nothing is factual because Scott himself hasn't told anyone outright what the exact plot and meaning behind everything is. For all we know, we could all be horribly wrong about our own theories based on what we've seen, heard, and read about the game. We interpret what we see by what we're given. Regardless of its impact on the story, his theory was actually pretty interesting. The story of FNaF as always been fucked up, but other than the paranormal elements, these things are seen as very real and could potentially happen to some extent. Matt is just looking at the only real part of this game and applying science and other findings to it. What else could he really pick apart when the basis of the game is one fucking Deus Ex Machina? ANYTHING can happen in dreams and nightmares. Boom. Plot hole filled. In the end, it's just a bit of edutainment I suppose.

Unfortunately, the 8-bit nature cleverly shows us no details at all, so neither of us can really say for sure. We're just speculating here. Maybe by "missing his frontal lobe" it really means that it was just crushed, rendering it useless and therefore "missing" because that portion of his brain won't be functioning correctly anymore. That's how it's portrayed anyways. If there was blood, Scott would have shown us blood coming from the mouth, like how Springtrap was. Thinking more about it, that's probably what it is. We just have to assume that the pressure from all that metal was enough to crush a portion of his skull that contained the frontal lobe.

Yeah I know he's an entertainer. Doesn't mean his logic doesn't suck though. There are lots of dudes who do a lot of research on a topic but are still entertaining to watch, so I don't see where the entertainer excuse comes in. And yes I know he does more videos like these, and they all involve grasping at tangents while ignoring the very facts that are actually present in-game.
What makes the theories surrounding 4 especially complex is how much we know about the FNaF universe got thrown out the window in one game. 1-3 built on each other pretty well with few problems, and the new things we learned all built on each other. However, 4 basically messed up the continuity on things we not just took for granted, but things that were pretty much stated as fact (ie: Fredbear's Family Diner closing years before Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, yet the Bite of '87 occurred when Freddy Fazbear's Pizza was in operation, meaning that Fredbear should've been long gone before this happened). This is where the problems are.
Also I don't think you know what a Deux Ex Machina is:
Quote
a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly resolved by the contrived and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability or object.
Are you saying that Fredbear just magically showed up and bit the child for no other reason than to give the Bite of '87 a perpetrator?

Animatronics also are real. Not in this game (outside of minigames of course), but in all previous games. Why only now say that part of FNAF is impossible? It always was impossible, even if you will take out all of the paranormal elements. The main problem was a more important part of FNAF than Bite of 87 - animatronics themselves. Bite of 87 can't happen because animatronics are too fragile, so, slightest resistance to a motor could seriously damage it. And a child held by his mouth would damage the animatronic. Struggling human would also break them easily. And i don't remember hearing him say that all games are impossible because animatronics would break in every game just from trying to stuff security guard into a suit. So, why start now with impossibility of nightmares after Bite of 87 when the whole thing is impossible because animatronics are too fragile to be able to damage frontal lobe, even with Foxy and Mangle's teeth? Unless those animatronics were made durable and strong enough to be able to crush bones from simple actions like singing/talking, but why do that? Entertainer or not, he should notice bigger issues with the games first.

Well to be fair, this episode was never about the plot to begin with. We also have no cold hard evidence as to the extent of the damage to this child. He could be dead for all we know. His body sure goes limp after that bite. Matt's theory is nothing more than "this gameplay cannot happen if it's true that we're playing as the victim of the Bite of '87 having no frontal lobe."
Well, I know I can be hard to understand at times, due to... reasons, but I do have an understanding of Deus Ex Machina is. I think you have me wrong though. I'm not saying that Fredbear magically appeared to give the Bite of '87 a perpetrator. The Deus Ex Machina I'm referring to is the fact that 90% of the gameplay of this game is in a nightmare, where anything can happen. We look to the entire game for plot and hints and clues as to what is really going on. Well, my point is that all of that could be for naught when we bring something as crazy as dream analysis into play. I've had nightmares about shit that I've never come in counter with and never experienced before. Are we really supposed to believe everything we see in this kid's nightmares? The other 10% of the game is the 8-bit mini games where we walk around. That is a problem in itself because we don't know when that's happening. Is that what is actually happening? Is that how the kid remembers the events that took place? Are we being told the story through some other entity? We don't know.
Animatronics also are real. Not in this game (outside of minigames of course), but in all previous games. Why only now say that part of FNAF is impossible?

MatPat is saying that the current gameplay of FNaF 4 (only) cannot exist due to the actual effects of lobotomized patients having no response to fear. A huge portion of gameplay in FNaF 4 is what we assume to be a child's nightmares. We don't know how fragile these animatronics are. They're apparently sturdy enough to kill you if you're shoved into one of them as we know from the other 2 games. As was said before, Fazbear Entertainment could give two shits less about the safety of people around these things. We have no idea how they're built other than mostly metal. I'm sure they're not your average fragile animatronics since they have full metal (steel maybe?) endoskeletons inside. We know from FNaF 4 (provided that the event portrayed to us really is the Bite of '87) that the yellow/golden bear animatronic (presumably Fredbear) is the one who did the bite. Why are you talking about Mangle or Foxy? Notice also how we've never seen Fredbear outside of an 8-bit form? We have literally no idea of how he's built, what parts he has inside him or anything. We mostly assume that he's got an endoskeleton, but we really have no idea.

As was said before, Fazbear Entertainment could give two shits less about the safety of people around these things. We have no idea how they're built other than mostly metal. I'm sure they're not your average fragile animatronics since they have full metal (steel maybe?) endoskeletons inside. We know from FNaF 4 (provided that the event portrayed to us really is the Bite of '87) that the yellow/golden bear animatronic (presumably Fredbear) is the one who did the bite. Why are you talking about Mangle or Foxy? Notice also how we've never seen Fredbear outside of an 8-bit form? We have literally no idea of how he's built, what parts he has inside him or anything. We mostly assume that he's got an endoskeleton, but we really have no idea.
They are strong enough to do so for some reasons. While Fazbear Entertainment doesn't gives a shit about safety, they wouldn't want to have something that can harm someone and result in getting sued. Fragile animatronics should be cheaper too and there is no reason to keep them so strong. They are not making T-1000, so, no reason for that. They won't be easily broken this way, but its not going to end well. The only way to really explain it is if they wanted it to be possible for animatronics to walk around, but then you're pretty much asking for trouble. But then there is Mangle, who is a "take appart and put back together" attraction for kids and those shouldn't be able to do this if endoskeleton's parts are attached properly, so, either Mangle's endoskeleton wasn't properly made or animatronics shouldn't be able to even lift an adult without arms detaching, something that would be required to stuff said person into suit. So, if he questions possibility of 4th game happening (we still aren't completly sure if its just a nightmare or something more), shouldn't he also question logic too? Or at least why security guard can't just run away from slow animatronics upon fucking up something. But, if we'll just ignore logic (or lack of it, not sure) and Mangle, animatronics in FNAF can be the way they are shown. Im talking about Mangle or Foxy because their sharp teeth would help them damage frontal lobe, but this would require strong jaws first. I know that they didn't bite the kid. As for never seeing Fredbear outside of 8-bit form (which is arguable since Golden Freddy could have been Fredbear), i don't think he is much different from Springtrap or at least other animatronics.
Also, turns out that Phone Guy is in FNAF4...or at least his first night call. Parts of it are played randomly in reverse with some extra effects (including slow down or lowered pitch). Its sounds like animatronics' weird speech in first game mixed with Nightmare's jumpscare sound. But once those extra effects are cleared up, its pretty clean. But why is it here? Just because it sounds spooky, to go even further with the "FNAF1 without power management and with extra nightmare fuel" design or what? After shit like 1987 settings on custom night triggering Golden Freddy (which was said to be here just to stop rumors, but then turned out to be the answer after 3 games), i can't really think of such things in FNAF as of something random. Its not even something hard to decipher. Just reversing makes it easy to understand.

You know after reading all of your comments from the point Jango (Who Loves to hates or simply hates him) posted MatPat's Game theory fresh on FNAF 4 to here and studying some theories of FNAF Wikia and watching this video.....I come to the following points:
Please be aware about the first one isn't really favoring or whatsoever I know Scott had put his efforts in all games and after I posted the quote of his message to his fans and haters I am happy for him.
1. MatPat's Criticism Now That I recall MatPat's last video on youtube regarding FNAF 3 I feel like he was enjoying this and here Criticizing his story and and the flaws he finds in the games and what so ever....Here he is just asking that how is this possible for child (Victim) to be able to visualize all of this of what we see in the game as his frontal lobe is gone and you are immune to fear etc. Lets be fare no matter how entertaining his theories are sometimes he points out some serious stuff...you know what I mean. But here he is actually criticizing Scott on his early release of this game and his "WIN" is his theory to which he believes to be is just him "HAPPY TO SEE THE FLAWS OF FNAF 4" in his perspective. You know I watched an episode of blacklist season 2 (Those who watched it may be aware) That Lizzie was in subconscious state recovering her memory. The same can apply hear too i mean he is in coma and basically he is dreaming alright so this would be possible But Yeah his point on loss of the frontal lobe affects many things (dreams included) in our brain its like CPU with NO NVDIA VGA card to support your heavy games. So he rejects this gameplay style and Scott for not putting his more taste... but I feel he may more to dicuss as he pointed in the end of his video. To be fair the video is just a fun
2.WTF is Fredbear? I can say Golden Freddy is maybe the Fredbear and Nightmare is the Shin version of this animatronic I mean 6th night and he is there to attack you. The Victim is remembering him as in really horrifying form and whats more (http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20150728225820/freddy-fazbears-pizza/images/thumb/f/f2/Fredbearcostume.png/141px-Fredbearcostume.webp) Both Fredbear & Springtrap are hybrids (can be accessed as costumes or used as machine) and in FNAF 4 video games its been shown in both features also I recall FNAF 2 Golden Freddy had had color scheme to which Fredbear too. It could be possible after the bite it got the endoskeleton removed and the suit ended up in rotting away. I consider Nightmare to be non-canon.
3. Phone Guy's calls? Well Either it might be used as stock sound or what Laharl just said. I just hope that its not what MatPat is sturdy about.
4. Company's Responsibility!!? Now Its clear either Fazbear's Entertainment are aware of dangerous situation that would put someones life in jeopardy or arent really giving any crap on it. OR it could be that the company doesn't wanna have charges by employees so if a customer gets into a situation then they act fast. No matter what they want buisness to run no matter what the hell happens to their employees...SO THIS COMPANY's Employees are on there own
MatPat is saying that the current gameplay of FNaF 4 (only) cannot exist due to the actual effects of lobotomized patients having no response to fear. A huge portion of gameplay in FNaF 4 is what we assume to be a child's nightmares. We don't know how fragile these animatronics are. They're apparently sturdy enough to kill you if you're shoved into one of them as we know from the other 2 games. As was said before, Fazbear Entertainment could give two shits less about the safety of people around these things. We have no idea how they're built other than mostly metal.

5. Animatronic's Strength I think they have strong frame considering how they can do things like shoving your body in an empty suit, biting the brain so they pretty much have this power or it could be effects of possession or simply they were built to do stuff like that. Mangle is something that Logic doesnt apply same thing for puppet too. Also if Foxy or Mangle were to commit the bite they would require the force used by Fredbear to do that. And blame the company for this....
So basically...I agree/disagree with MatPat's video and I am just now concerned about the hidden facts about the plot and Irritated on Story of this game however considering how confusing is situation here. I mean
Well, I know I can be hard to understand at times, due to... reasons, but I do have an understanding of Deus Ex Machina is. I think you have me wrong though. I'm not saying that Fredbear magically appeared to give the Bite of '87 a perpetrator. The Deus Ex Machina I'm referring to is the fact that 90% of the gameplay of this game is in a nightmare, where anything can happen. We look to the entire game for plot and hints and clues as to what is really going on. Well, my point is that all of that could be for naught when we bring something as crazy as dream analysis into play. I've had nightmares about shit that I've never come in counter with and never experienced before. Are we really supposed to believe everything we see in this kid's nightmares? The other 10% of the game is the 8-bit mini games where we walk around. That is a problem in itself because we don't know when that's happening. Is that what is actually happening? Is that how the kid remembers the events that took place? Are we being told the story through some other entity? We don't know.
MatPat is saying that the current gameplay of FNaF 4 (only) cannot exist due to the actual effects of lobotomized patients having no response to fear. A huge portion of gameplay in FNaF 4 is what we assume to be a child's nightmares. We don't know how fragile these animatronics are.

We mostly assume that he's got an endoskeleton, but we really have no idea.
So..... I'm convinced that story here is mystery itself As mini-games point out the explanation on the incident and ............ :wall:

He certainly didn't kill anyone, but he isn't Purple Guy's victim either. Well, not directly at least. Purple Guy's victims possessed the animatronics, so, Phone Guy's death on 4th call kinda is his fault. But he didn't killed him (judging by the sound, Golden Freddy did or at least was involved along with 4 main animatronics, but who knows).

It's Chinese. Phone Guy didn't do any of the killings as far as we know. We're led to believe that he's been killed in the first game on Night 4, by Golden Freddy.

Yeah...if that "1983" thing actually means something, then we'll have even more stuff to go through...It would make more sense though. Fredbear and Springtrap are still here as the main animatronics. But 2 bites sounds like a really bad luck and there is a girl with toys of toy animatronics (or at least Toy Bonnie). So...?

Alright Scott Thats The nailing punch .....
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
So Golden Freddy/Fredbear is the culprit and apparently when this incident took place 83' and aside from the kids there was no one there that head was crushed and the other that would probably in 87' was documented and eventually got both old robots to be scrapped either after Jeremy was promoted or before he was hired there. And due to the bite It might have been why the endoskeleton was removed and left in this state and the mystery briefcase is our only hope of uncovering the thing that all of us have no clue yet and if that is the clue to next scenario then we have to find out the missing piece that is there except we barely gave an attention....I knew it It has to be this thing in locked trunk

Interesting theory. But i don't really think that bullies were killed ("Kids vanish at local pizzeria - bodies not found" doesn't sounds like it involves teenagers and they would be impossible to hide in suits without anything sticking out or just leaking, so, they bodies would be found while a small kid will fit a lot better). There are 5 bodies in all FNAF2 minigames too (outside of Take Cake to the Children minigame).

I dunno where it said they're teenagers. I mean they're bigger, yeah, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're teenagers. They could be in like 4th grade or something, and the victim is in 1st grade. SOMETHING LIKE THAT I dunno.

No, because the old animatronics in FNaF2 are the same animatronics as the ones in FNaF1. It's literally just every model he has (save for the Phantom animatronics which are basically just previously existing models with new textures).

I don't think size difference should be that noticable. Someone should find out size of bullies and the kid when compared to Fredbear. They are very close (just below his head): (https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/MShrxMjUoAo/hqdefault.jpg) Couldn't find image without "ENDING" written or other stuff, but it doesn't matters. Animatronics themselves are pretty big: (https://31.media.tumblr.com/a1b997b5e87801968d0c9772b5135862/tumblr_inline_neyg3ykFXP1s1xr66.jpg) And those doors (or whatever they are called - kinda forgot and couldn't remember while writing this) should allow adults to comfortably go through them. But maybe they were increased in size some time after the bite. Either way, those certainly are not kids.

Scott's always been weird about the animatronic sizes and proportions in the video cameras. In the the first FNaF, at one angle, Chica is HUGE and inconsistent with everything else. Just to give you an idea, I overlayed two shots from the same camera, one with Chica in it, and one with Bonnie.

That makes sense, but I just find it weird that that particular animatronic is slumped down like Golden Freddy, yet has his ear is in place and his eyes have illumination, where one even looks like there's an eyeball there. Maybe it's meant to symbolize something that happens in FNaF 4?

Well, all we know is that the bullies are large than the kid you play as. It doesn't mean they're teenagers. Even so, the bodies were never found. If you chop up a body, you can fit it anywhere. Those kids are smaller than adults too, which appear to be significantly taller. Just look at purple guy in the easter egg.

Or model error (there is a bit of orange in left eye too). Scott made such mistakes few times already (for example, BB's buttons in the vents and numerous clipping issues).

Purple guy was in the background with another adult in a suit, so, hard to tell. But after some more size comparisons, Fredbear is pretty small (makes sense since its a springlock suit thing) and they aren't teenagers. Whoops. I completly forgot about that kind of animatronics, so, i assumed it was big like others. You can chop up the body, but it won't reduce amount of space they will take. But that doesn't matters now since they aren't that big and i just fucked up. Urgh...

I don't want to get into the science of dismembering people, but that's exactly why anyone would chop up a person; that and to destroy evidence, but I digress. Ever watch an episode of The Sopranos? :D Anyways, you could easily chop up the kids and stuff them in the suits. It would be nasty as hell, but hey, we don't have any evidence that it wasn't the case. :P

I never even heard of Sopranos, but choping up kids wouldn't help much when space inside the suits is limited anyway and there are no other places to hide them in that wouldn't be more ovious. Having them stuffed in one piece would be easier (no need to deal with each piece individually) and not as messy (its still not going to be anywhere near "clean"). And its still not confirmed who stuffed them here (either Purple Guy or the Puppet), so, who knows what exactly happened to the bodies. Could have just disappeared for all we know.

Sure, you can just burry/burn/dump them somewhere, either in one piece or not. But then there would be no reason for "blood and mucus around the eyes and mouths of the mascots". Unless its just a result of animatronics being possesses (i doubt they would use suits with corpses inside on animatronics).

Well if we take Phone Guy's Night 4 phonecall in FNaF1 into consideration, he tells you to check inside the suits if you get a chance, and wonders what's inside "all those empty heads," so yeah, they're probably in the suits and empty replacement heads. And knowing how badly the company keeps trying to sweep shit under the rug, I guess that's not the weirdest thing they could do.

Then employees have steel nerves or something. Because to put those suits and heads on the endoskeleton, corpses would have to be damaged even more and they already would look like mess and it will either limit animatronics' movements or break a joint or two. It would be easier to just burn them, but then again, they aren't the brightest guys and they had employees that were fine with possibility of being horribly mauled by just breathing on the spring locks or sudden movements (and there actually were instructions on what to do in such case and they were far from pleasant).

Also, i might have explanation on how there are toy animatronics' toys in 4 even though they don't appear here in any other way. Its simple - those are toys (official or just chinese knock-offs) that were later (in 1987) used for Freddy and co's redesigns or they were once toys that later became their own characters. Mangle doesn't looks like a pirate and Toy Chica has "Let's Party" bib while original one had "Let's Eat" and looked more fitting for that too. ...does this makes sense?

I like Markiplier's smooth buttery voice as much as all the 12 year olds on Youtube apparently do, but these e-celeb crossovers are getting overdone. It's like when TGWTG kept doing all those crossovers, it adds nothing to whatever they're doing and you have to know who the guys are to actually think it's kinda neat.
ANYWAY as far as the theorying went, I'm not going to go over every single thing that went wrong, but it's really stretching it to say that the wires sticking out of one of the costumes is hair on a kid who's been stuffed into the suit, and this kid being The Puppet doesn't really make a lot of sense since the Puppet isn't a thing that exists until FNaF2. Also I don't believe this happens in a Freddy Fazbear's Pizza restaurant because, well, he's still Fredbear! Unless this is Japan and they're doing that name-shortening affectionate nickname bullshit.

Mangle doesn't look like a pirate because we didn't see the entirety of the outfit. The only thing we have to go by is the zoom-in on her face in the picture. The kids disassembled her and the staff gave up on reassembling her long before the player takes the job, so while it's a possibility, it's not really set in stone.
Toy Chica, I believe, is a parody of all those fast food restaurants that started trying to reduce emphasis on eating pizza and focus on making kids lose weight and work out, so it would make sense for her to have a form-fitting bib that emphasizes partying. Among all the other problems the company has, they want to avoid being associated with childhood obesity, so they have generally slimmer animatronics and one that promotes partying over eating.
Interesting theory on the toys being the fourth game though.

Mangle has make up, bow tie and nail polish. This doesn't fits a pirate, but maybe it was added later, after it got mangled. But your theory on Toy Chica makes sense.

After all he is not working for some company unlike for some......i remember smash lore video by matpat where he made a fantastic video on the smash boss....you know what i mean Sakurai wanted smash to end but cant do that Scott can do it as he doesnt seem to have that pressure.

Post by: BaganSmashBros on September 10, 2015, 11:40:49 am
As much as I can make it FNAF 4 is hindrance in overall story.....
I disagree. It only adds stuff like possible reasons why Fredbear's Family Diner was closed for years (murdered kids and/or the bite), proper order of when kids were killed and how (1 before 1983 by Purple Guy, possibly 4 at some point before 4kid's birthday by PG in Spring Bonnie suit and 4kid saw this somehow, 4kid in 1983 by Fredbear, 5 in 1987 by PG in Golden Freddy suit), toy animatronics' possible origin (which, if true, reminds me of Fake Crash from Crash Bandicoot, who originally was a badly done plush that developers found) and...what else there was? Anyway, it doesn't completly retcons anything or makes something impossible. Bite of 87 is still a thing (obviously not related to bite in 4 because kid gets his skull fractured/crushed and dies while Bite of 87 was when X got his frontal lobe damaged beyond repair or outright removed by Y and lived), murdered kids still are innocent as far as we know and so on. 4 doesn't adds as much as 2, but there still is some info here. Its not exactly necessary though. You could take it away and nothing truly important would be removed.
Anyway, this isn't exactly something Scott made, but i want to share this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sUsVSihPeQ This looks promising. I mean...FNAF in 3d? There is one thing that bothers me for now though - jumpscare sound. It sounds like crowd screaming on stadium when their team won or something like this.

The two microphone looking things on top of Toy Freddy and Toy Chica, the purple hued Balloon Boy behind FNaF1 Freddy, and that metallic springy thing behind Mangle. I've never seen those TBH. Could be wrong though.

I assume by 'microphone' things, you mean the endoskeletons, by which only one wasn't there before. The metallic springy thing behind Mangle is Mangle. Spot on with the Balloon Boy though. The other two are the freaky as hell toy-withered Chica behind FNAF1 Bonnie and Freddy, and the Toy Golden Freddy hiding behind Toy Bonnie.

Like, if Freddy Fazbear's Pizza actually gave a shit and properly maintained and cleaned them. Also if they weren't full of rotting child corpses.
Though the significant lack of detail or texture on Toon Fredbear there leads me to believe those are probably just unfinished models.

People are calling her JJ or Balloon Girl. They've all got this "even more toyish than toy animatronic" look to them. Wonder what Scott is planning. I'm not sure about unfinished models though because if you take a look at Toon Chica, she's got the same appearance (missing arms) as Withered Chica in FNaF2, so she's obviously paying homage to that one in some way. If and when we see Toon Bonnie, do you think he'll cutely have no face? LOL

Well I mean except for Toon Withered Chica obviously. But still, that'd actually be really cool.

Yep, you're absolutely right. So now it's Toon Toy Foxy and Toon Mangle. I suppose it's really "Adventure" though the art direction doesn't really say "Adventure" to me. Nonetheless, I'm kind of excited about this because I'd never play FNaF, due to the horror genre. I find the lore fascinating though for some reason. Seeing how FNaF World will not be a horror game, it's something a lot more could get into. I think Scott is taking a kid-friendly approach too. Notice how Toon Springtrap has no rotting burnt corpse of a purple man within?

How when a person who had horrible nightmares before, but after his lobotomy his dreams became much more pleasant? Maybe this is what Scott is going for with this game.

Randomly interjecting myself since while I had a fascination with the series(and I mainly looked at TvTropes for all the info on the series...I'm a cheating bastard that way), I'm not a fan of Jumpscares in general so I wanted to ask a few questions for that huge roundup of animatronics:
1. Is that huge head up there Golden Freddy from FNAF1? Because from what I've seen in the main jumpscare GIF I've seen he comes off as more Yellow-ish than that(which is hilarious since he somehow is apparently just a head model).
2. That dark shadow just below it is Shadow Bonnie from FNAF2 right? Doesn't it along with Shadow Freddy have a random chance of just happening out of nowhere unlike Golden Freddy is in that game or is an easter egg like GF again in the first?
3. The one at the top right isn't Nightmare!? Is that Nightmare Freddy or
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Fredbear
?
I mean I will give the creator kudos, he really does capitalize on the ugliness of the animatronics easily but I just hate Jumpscares as I just find them obnoxious.
Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's
Post by: Jango on September 18, 2015, 08:17:23 pm
1. It's Golden Freddy from FNAF2 since his jumpscare is just his head flying at you. 2. It's like Golden Freddy in that it'll crash your game if you stare at it too long. It isn't like him because there's no set way to activate him. 3. The one at the topright with the purple hat is Nightmare Fredbear. The blackish thing with a yellow hat next to him is simply named Nightmare.
It's early so I thought the exposed Withered Bonnie exoskeleton was Shadow Bonnie's tits.

I don't think the lore of this game is going to tie in much with the FNaF lore we all know and love. It's a brand new thing from what I'm understanding of it. You maybe be right though, so who knows (besides Scott obviously)?

1. Ah okay so the Yellowish color from the Original was mainly there for dramatic effect for the "otherworldy" factor of his original Easter Egg Killscreen then. 2.

Lets be honest Nightmare isnt real.....because it appears be a hallucination in fnaf 4
Nightmare is as real as other nightmare animatronics or even more so. He is a buffed Fredbear in the gameplay during certain nights instead of being something that may or may not appear on any night (like Golden Freddy in 1). He always appears. And there can't be hallucinations in nightmares. Those can be seen or heard only when you're awake. Otherwise, its just part of the dream.

What do you think?
Or is it a new game?
Probably DLC. We don't even have a new trailer.
On the plus side,at the very least, we can discover what ever happened to the Mangle. The thing only appears in full for one game and it pretty much fell off the map afterward.

Because Mangle was just a redone Foxy. I would like to see an explanation as to why there's a disassembled Mangle in the boy's house in FNaF4 when it's set in 1983 and the redesigns didn't happen until the 1987 relaunch.
Yes I know we already talked about this earlier in the thread and it was shrugged off as an Easter Egg, but now...

SO for those of you who didn't know, FNAF World came out and was hastily removed from Steam following negative reception (http://www.engadget.com/2016/01/26/five-nights-at-freddys-world-removed-from-steam/). Scott even went on record saying that this isn't something he's proud of, and he removed the refund window, and said that he'll be updating the game, and releasing it on Gamejolt for free.
Spoiler: actual spoiler(click to see content)
The final boss fight in hard mode is a battle against Scott himself, who basically accuses his fanbase of forcing him to make more FNAF and killing his spirit to make more games. So I'm going to assume this game is meant to kill off FNAF once and for all

Yeah, there was even a secret glitch ending that had you go left and right rapidly at a pond until Freddy drowned and it showed a silhouette of a person holding two kids in their arms. People saying that it represents Scott holding his two kids and finally putting down FNAF. He needs the rest because he said he and his wife just had a kid.

Post by: Jango on January 28, 2016, 10:50:05 pm
@Iced: I dunno about God bringing it to him, but he allegedly prayed asking for guidance after his life insurance was cancelled (he told his doctor he was having suicidal thoughts or SOMETHING and that got passed onto his insurance providers), and then he got inspiration for FNAF based on a negative review of a video game he did that said that his crappy animation style makes everyone look like animatronics. Although, yeah he did say the game being successful was due to him letting God take the wheel on his life.
If you're right, this is a bad time for a meltdown, considering there's both a sequel to his novel coming out as well as, ummm, a movie that Warner Bros is making!
@Lucky_Chloe: Nah, pretty sure it was him releasing four games in one year with very few differences between them with declining quality. Probably what drove that is fans finding Scott's easter eggs in the first game and demanding expansion, so that the games were afterthoughts compared to some story that Scott in all likeliness was making up as he went along.
Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's
Post by: R565 on January 28, 2016, 11:08:33 pm
But the game itself isn't bad, it just needs a few things to it and it will be a pretty neat casual RPG. It also has nods to his other games that didn't do well.

"Don't hold it against us." "You don't know what we've been through."
Okay, so I know the lore of this series is getting more and more unparseable as Scott keeps piling more on top of it, but I have a hard time believing that either A) The spirits of the murdered children somehow found themselves bound to a completely different restaurant that just happened to share a mascot, or B) That Fazbear's sister location was also coincidentally the site of completely unrelated spooky hijinks.
Either way, can't be as much of a catastrophe as FNAF World so I'll give it a shot.

In other news: The grand opening of Circus Baby's Pizza World has apparently been cancelled due to reported gas leaks in the building - Sources close to the establishment question the report, saying that strange activity around the area at night suggest something else is to blame.
One local is quoted as saying, "Everything just stopped. There was so much excitement built around this place opening and then they stopped talking about it. There was only a handful of people that ever got a look at the inside, kids from here and there, making sure everything worked right, you know. I guess they weren't quite as ready as they thought they were!"
A tenant from across the street claims to have witnessed a large group of cars surrounding the building during the night, and large pieces of equipment being taken out of the building under tarps. A few weeks later the building was for sale.
There is no comment yet from the local entrepreneur who financed the venture.

Post by: Person Man on October 06, 2016, 05:39:24 am
Scott Cawthon on the Sister Location Steam page said:
Hey guys, I wanted to let everyone know what I’ve decided. And just as a warning- a lot of you aren’t going to be happy about it, but please try to understand.
Ever since I started making games I always wanted to be a world builder. I never wanted to make gimmicky games or things that didn’t mean something. I wanted to create experiences that would really have an impact on people. I feel like I got to do that with the first few games, but somehow I feel like I let myself get too dark with this one. Things went sideways, and I look at this game now and am unsure how it will affect people.
At the same time though, people WANT a horror game, and I get that. I understand that. This is supposed to be horror, and not kid friendly. So then what am I supposed to do? Release something that offends me just to satisfy those who want to play it? Or take the time and effort to really craft something that everyone can enjoy? The answer is obvious to me.
The problem is that the franchise has grown too much. There is too much of a spotlight on this for me to really do what I want to do. Even the news sites jumped all over this and mocked me for delaying the game. It just makes things difficult, because I don’t feel like I can really do the right thing anymore.
But I think I have the solution. (this is the part most of you won’t like) I’m going to release the “mature” version of the game by itself, in sections, not as a part of the timeline, not as a part of the lore, and not as a part of the story, but just because I promised that I would. I promised a game, and don’t want to be one of those developers who endlessly delays their game’s release. However, I would recommend that real fans of the games, and real followers of the lore, wait a few months until I’m able to really make something that everyone can enjoy, and something that can still be scary! I’m going to release the game in chapters, however, not the whole game at once, since it puts strain on the servers over at GameJolt.
So... Scott is delaying the game because he wants it to be more "kid-friendly."
His horror game.
About serial murders and vengeful spirits and possessed animatronics stuffed with the rotting corpses of children.

Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's
Post by: Jango on October 06, 2016, 06:11:17 am
oh god, does this mean he's gonna have animatronic orgies???
I understand his viewpoint though. I'm interpreting it as that he made a game that's more edgy than it is scary, which might have cheap shock value for some audiences (ie: Youtube LPers), but not actually be "scary" in the sense of leaving an impact on the player.
Like, for a horror movie example, think of, say, Zack Snyder's reboot of Dawn of the Dead with Carnival of Souls. Now Dawn is plenty shocking and disturbing, it's repulsive but ultimately forgettable. When you watch Carnival, all the terror comes from a pale white dude in a black suit that seems to be stalking the heroine, and the tension building up every time he shows up. I'd have to watch Dawn again to remember the scenes, but Carnival's scenes just stick with you long after the movie is over.
So I think that's what he's trying to say: He made a game that's mostly shock, but he wants to create something that's actually memorable. Kinda late to jump on that horse, but if that's what he wants, more power to him.

You can go the easy route and not salvage them, but you get the worse ending....or you can be a champ and get all of them and get the good ending. Either way, everyone knows by now there is juicy lore in this game which comes from the arcade games you buy. I love the ending you get from salvaging all of them too, it's a nice way to tie up the main series.

LOL, there's a difficulty toggle for Phone Guy. I want to see what a game with just him on 20 with no animatronics looks like.

I would imagine he won't let you do that set up alone. I'm sure there would have to be at least 1 animatronic for a run. Though I could be wrong, it would be interesting, as I don't see any way for the phone guy to destroy you like the animatronics can.

Yes, you can't have just one, you must have the same number as the classic or close to it. Phone Guy is a tool to lure the animatronics to your location.
