The FNAF Megathread


Clearwater

Recommended Posts

So it has come to my attention that Crazy Boris Productions has done some Five Nights at Freddy's videos. Gotta watch 'em all through to the end. My personal favourite is 2, just like the games so far. Also, the Scrabble thing is now my canon. 

In regards to that Freddie Mercury Freddy poster in the background of his second animation;

Mark just hit Night 2.

By far, my favorite part of this video came up right here.  The door movement was one thing, but then when he turned on the flashlight and discovered the source of the disturbance fangirling intensified all bets were off!

FNaF 4 needs moar Mangle. I want my depressing storied Foxy alternate with a built in military encoded transmission. Also that fact that "it" is actually rather frightening to behold. And just imagine Nightmare Mangle.

At the end of Night 1, if you go to the right in the hallway instead of to the left, you'll find Mangle sitting in pieces on the floor.  I'm not sure if it means anything as I haven't gone beyond that so far, but it's in there in spirit! :P

Hmm... Considering that I'm going to be getting a tablet for my birthday (Android), I'm debating whether to get the game on PC or tablet... What do you guys think?

From what I understand of the story, namely that the character this time around is:

 

the purple guy's kid or related in some way and is a bite victim, in a coma in a hospital (as you can see flowers, pills, and a drip occasionally when you turn around and look at the bed), no one is sure if it's the bite of '87 or earlier yet, though. But, before, Mangle was actually the likely culprit of the bite given Foxy, the previous likely culprit, wasn't active at the time it happened and was stored in Parts/Services. FNaF 4 makes it seem as though FredBear was the culprit, though who knows, but Mangle may just be there because of her significance of being the prime suspect since FNaF 2. Oh yeah, also, the "Was it me?/Or me?" promos probably relate to the biting, as well.

 

Oh yeah, also, Scott posted this:

 

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.

 

Now we just need to know how long you need to keep the door closed.

PC would probably be a better choice considering the fact that the mobile port of the game is going to be watered down. If you wanted to go with Android, you would need to root your tablet to record gameplay. (It's not as hard as some people say.)

The Android port isn't out for about five more days, anyways.

Go with the PC port.  There's nothing like playing the game on a full-sized monitor.

Mark just threw up Part 3.  I must say that I'm quite pleased with Foxy's role in this game, although he is a tricky one to deal with for sure.

---

I'd also like to reiterate the opinion that Plushtrap is indeed quite terrifying.

He's at Night 4, apparently looking into it, Nightmare Fredbear has an interesting mechanic. For one, no other animatronic will attack you while he's active, apparently, but how you deal with him is a bit different. Apparently you can't check if he's there with the flashlight, if he's in the hall and it comes on, he comes over and kills you. Gotta listen to where he goes carefully and shut the door. But if he gets in the room, flashlight drives him off.

It's interesting to see that he relies significantly upon sound and has a difficult movement/attack style if you aren't sure how to ward him off!

Watching Markiplier play FNaF 2, and man he has terrible luck on things. I made it to night 3, possibly even 4 without seeing Balloon Boy or Foxy at all, yet Foxy will just not leave him alone.

Well there's a shocker!  And by the way, fuck Fredbear.  He's probably the biggest NOPE of 'em all, and with good reason.

-------

I love the fact that Foxy has two distinctive jumpscares in the fourth game, with the former being disconcerting (and potentially concentration breaking) and the latter being terrifying if you've neglected to check on him.

Doesn't the game take place in '83, however? And thus that's not the bite of '87?

I was hearing musings of that as well based upon the television screen in one of the minigames, and to be honest I'm not entirely sure.  Scott's site's source code was filled with instances of 87 randomly strewn throughout before the game was out, and at one point the ScottGames name in the tab had the numbers eight and seven mixed in to them as well.  The "was it me?" teaser series makes the implication that it would likely be the bite of '87 as well. 

Would Freddy, Foxy, Chica, and Bonnie have existed if it were 1983 as opposed to 1987? (The game has to take place after they are made since they have masks and plushies available as merchandise, apparently.)  It all depends upon when the original Spring Freddy and Spring Bonnie suits were retired and their replacements crafted, and yet by the events of FNAF2, non-toy Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy are no longer used during the daytime.  Are Spring Freddy and Spring Bonnie the golden suits from the minigames, and does that signify that Golden Freddy, Fredbear, and Spring Freddy are one in the same?

It seems like FNAF4 answered a question or two and then opened up an entire black whole of whodunnits.

-----

On that note, I finally got around to snapping an ominous photo of my Foxy plushie from Sanshee.

I made the second photo that I took into a teaser tribute shortly thereafter.

Since FNaF 2 was a prequel and all that and the animatronics showed considerable wear/tear and age, I imagine they'd have existed in '83 as well. Especially since the toy characters were revampings of aged designs.

Mark just finished Night 6. 

The ending minigame in this one really sheds more light onto the '83-'87 argument IMO (and it's also cryptically sad, like always).  You can hear the EKG flatline sound playing in the background toward the end; the victim of this bite surely died.   The victim of the bite of '87 is implied to have survived, hence the "it's amazing that the human body can live without a frontal lobe" line from FNAF1. The tears become permanent on the child sprite; could this be the 'creation' of the marionette?

And yet Mangle was in the first night's minigame, and there were action figures of the toy versions of the animatronics in the third night's minigame as well, and they wouldn't have existed until '87.

-----

Also, apparently this can happen (pulled from the FNAF wiki).

Nightmare Foxy is the only animatronic in the series that can specifically be summoned by the player. This is done by clicking the nose of the Freddy Plushie on the bed some number of times greater than 20.

JackSepticEye also has a FNAF4 series going right now - he gets extremely lucky on the first night, and judging by the video still of the second video I have a feeling he didn't check the closet as often as he should have. :)

EDIT: Mark just put out his Nightmare Mode video.  Nightmare appearing in front of the door is bowel-releasingly horrendous, but Fredbear is worse in my book.

@Mark's vid: Best thing ever at 5:20. It's after the second nightmare death.

4:25 was also worth a laugh.

CrazyBorisProductions is at it again.  The dragging the face along the floor bit cracked me up, and his plushie drawing was quite well done!  Don't forget to watch all the way to the end, since he always has bonus ending scenes in his animations.

The FNAF movie has found a director, and it seems as if they're going with practical effects for the most part, which is great.  Jim Henson's Creature Shop seems to be involved as well, which is exciting as hell!

Gah, it appears that Fraps is not compatible with FnaF 4 on my PC. Normally, when a game is compatible with Fraps, you get the yellow FPS counter in the corner of the screen, but it doesn't appear when I launch it. I might need to find myself another capture software. Any of you have an good recommendations?

If you have an Nvidia graphics card, I've always heard that Nvidia Shadowplay was great.  I'll have to try it out myself sometime.  http://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience/shadowplay

Are you sure that you didn't disable the Fraps overlay in games by mistake?  Either way, it's worth opening Fraps and hitting record while playing to see if it still captures.

Here's a fun easter egg for anyone playing through the game.  Regardless of the night, if you honk the nose of the plushie Freddy sitting on the bed twenty times in a row, a secret will be revealed.  GOOD LUCK.

For something that burned so brightly so quickly, it's sad to think that it has finally come to an end, though DLC of some unspecified sort is coming on Halloween.  The group photo on Scott's site is great though, and finally shows a few different angles of the animatronics that aren't otherwise visible from the cameras/perspective present in the games alone.
