Five Nights at Freddy's

I don't suppose there's any way we can just cut everything in the pages for the new game except for a really, really basic description and then lock all of them until the thing actually comes out? Usually they're completely overrun by overreactions and speculation when there's nothing to go on but some images (let alone one).

And then large chunks of the stuff put there has to be cut anyway because it ended up being inaccurate. Remember when everyone was so sure the Toy animatronics would only leave you alone if you had the mask OFF?

If we're seriously going talk about the quality control of the Five Nights at Freddy's 4 page, it's best to discuss it on Ask The Tropers before doing anything that might piss someone off.

Found some joke video about the plot of the 4th game, brough to you by Spiderman

Come to think of it, the pattern of these games seems to be "you think you're moving on, but the past is gonna molest you".

• FNAF, Mike works in an old building with poor electrical wiring.
• FNAF 2, you think Fitzgerald is dealing with new robots in a new building, but it's actually a prequel.
• FNAF 3, you're finally in the future (well, the current), but you're facing an abomination from years past.

Wonder how the past is going to bite you in the ass this time around.

There's not even an Aesop like "those who refuse to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it", because the gameplay involves Mike and the various security guards repeatedly coming back to what is more than likely certain death, demonic possession, slow, agonizing torture, or any combination of the three.

Perhaps this is all one macabre social commentary on society, about how the undesirable, minimum-wage worker will throw his life away to make end's meat in service to the whims of careless, big business types.

And how phone operators are murderous, psychotic, child-murdering dickbaskets.

David Near and other You Tube voice actors have formed a petition, hoping to get them parts in the movie.

Don't think it will work that way. I doubt they'll recuirt them even if it gets million of supporters, best thing you can hope for is some sort of audition.

Know who I think could do a good job with the movie if he wasn't blacklisted from Hopywoodoo? Paul Verhoeven.

Here's a thought: What if the bad ending isn't so because the kids once again got the wrong guy, but because Puppet failed to get through to one of them, resulting in the others having no choice but to leave him behind, all alone in that decrepit ruin?

It makes sense. After all, the fifth animatronic head doesn't show up in the background on the good ending. That could very well be Golden Freddy. Then he gets pissed off for whatever reason and materializes into Nightmare.

Yay, the FNAF 4 page was cleaned up!

Right, Golden Freddy would make the most sense, given the sheer amount of emphasis he has in all three games. In the first game, he was this mysterious suit that had one of the most unique jump-scares; in the second, you could find him in the SAVETHEM mini-game, and he can kill you from two different, albeit close-together locations; and in the third, he is the last child you approach in the mini-games, and you can actually play as him.

And now, forgive me as I shamelessly post my opinion of the sequence of events:

• First victim killed outside Fredbear's Family Diner. Following controversy results in place closing down. Meanwhile, the victim possesses Puppet.

• Reopens as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

• Sister location employee(s) is/are killed by spring suit(s).

• Pizzeria closes down and reopens.

• Somewhere around nights 2-3 of FNAF 2, five more kids have gone missing.

• Freddy follows Puppet throughout the pizzeria. An alternate universe exists where Purple Guy stops Freddy.

• Puppet stuffs deceased children into the suits, starting the FNAF 3 hidden mini-games.

• FNAF 2 nights 4-7.

• The Bite of '87.

• Pizzeria closes down and reopens.

• Foxy mini-game (Takes 1 & 2).

• Five more kids reported missing in June.

• Foxy mini-game (Final take)

• FNAF 1

• Phone Guy announces that safe-rooms will be boarded up.

• Purple Guy dismantles all four robots and becomes Springtrap.

• Safe-rooms are boarded up.

• Pizzeria closes down.

• FNAF 3

• The End...or is it?

I think the child stuffing had to happen in the first Pizzeria cause that would explain why the original suits were left to rot

Ah, I see! After all, it was the sister location's suits that killed the employees, not this one's. I'll make adjustments.

EDIT: Wait, actually, I put the stuffing there because in the night 3 message, this is the first time Phone Guy turns his full attention to the rumors circling about at the current time. This of course would imply the first children incident.

As for the other location being left to rot, that probably could've been a metaphor for the customers' reaction to the spring-lock failures at the sister location. Even though they scrapped the idea after that, the philosophy behind the use of that technology—that being its utter carelessness about employees—might've been more than enough to damage sales.

Actually, I don't think Goldy can be Nightmare, if only because Nightmare has five fingers like Springtrap, while all of Goldy's appearances had him with four.

If he can grow three extra heads, he's more than capable of growing two more fingers.

Those aren't heads though, those are evil Freddy bobble-heads lodged in its body.

Golden Freddy was a manifestation of Nightmare Freddy's presence. He has four fingers in this manifested form to blend in with the others better so he won't come off as suspicious around them.

So I was playing FNaF2 for the first time earlier today and I discovered a weird thing. I was on the camera a lot on night 1 when around 2:00, I kept hearing Balloon Boy's voice. Confused, I pulled the camera down and immediately got jump-scared by Mangle. Is she usually active during night 1?

So why is part two of Game Theory's episode on third game in two halves? Edit: Ah copyright strikes

Anyhoo, I kinda feel iffy about murderer's identity theory(since its basically addition on the previous one), but to be honest if the purple guy was just some random smuck then it wouldn't really be a mystery, in good mystery identity is always the guy who has been there all the time through the mystery

The thing's never really been a mystery, though. The fans treat it like a mystery, but the games have never really presented themselves as one. It's just a really vague story. Each new installment just tacks on new information we had no clue existed beforehand and therefore had no chance to guess at, while leaving questions behind (and by that I mean just completely dropping them, not leaving them for us to solve. Like the Night 5 call, which we haven't gotten the slightest hint toward for two games) with no answers.

Maybe Scott will pull this amazing, all encompassing answer for the fourth game, but as is, I don't think he's really going for the mystery angle.

New teaser on Scottgames. Shows Bonnie in the same "nightmare" style as Nightmare Freddy with the text "Was it me?" The source code has a bunch of 8s and 7s again.

Which one of you yahoos sold the animatronics to the Denizens of the Underworld?

Nightmare Bonnie looks less scary than Withered Bonnie.

'Was It Me?' Makes me think that Purple Guy really was just a patsy for the true murderer...

Also, I'd be surprised if Mr. Cawthorn really does wait until Halloween to release the game.

Brightened image showed word "nightmare" all over the image in graffiti style.

Also, two rows of sharpened teeth? Yeah, these things ain't human made.
