    Funnily enough, even today people are still surprised by the concept of the first FNAF game. A week back, when the FNAF movie trailer came out, these reactors who had no idea of the franchise was told how to play the first game. And they were stunned by the concept of you not being able to run away and you just had to sit there and fend for yourself. After being a fan of this franchise for so long, knowing the formula of it, it was truly magical in a way to see people today react to the first game as people did back in 2014. It truly cemented why FNAF worked in the first place.

    I know a lot of people say that voice acting in fnaf isn't needed, but I think that the animatronics talking makes sense since animatronics actually do talk in real life(you know, with an electronic voice box). The only problem with it however, is how they're talking. In FNAF sister location through security breach, the robots feel less like possessed animatronics and more like full on sentient robot characters in a video game. I think the voices would only work if the animatronics communicated using the words they say during their showtime performances, you know, the things they were actually programmed to say. It could even sound distorted at times to let the player know that they're trying saying something different or serious. The animatronics won't speak often though, only when it's necessary.

      @ultmateragnarok8376 Рік тому +41

      It varies from game to game. Sister Location's animatronics are sentient themselves, despite existing in the early '80s or '70s. It's not elaborated on why, but is pointed out by Baby when she specifically says she hears Elizabeth as a separate entity during one of her monologues.
      FFPS's characters are.. I mean, some of them are kind of jokes, but they work well enough, I guess. Elizabeth (seemingly _not_ Baby, but Elizabeth, hence the weird personality shift), whoever's in control of Molten Freddy, and William all vaguely fit the characters, though honestly none of them save for Molten _should_ speak for the atmosphere of it. Springtrap having only these horrid pained moans in FNaF 3 gave a lot of mystery to his character - he's a hostile monster, sure, but whether he's aware in there being left up to interpretation was very much a better method. As was his visual design. I'm not much a fan of anything in Pizza Sim, other than Scrap Baby's design and the Rockstars and Lefty - those are pretty much the only good parts. The story, while a cool climax, comes way too early in the series (it appears to have been planned to come up far later after a few games, but Scott was also _very_ apparently burning out on the series) and has absolutely no foreshadowing, not to mention the absolute mess of retcons, from the Puppet's identity to Henry having been around the whole time to the remnant thing (which, by the way, was not in SL, only brought up in Pizza Sim and the novels by then) to whatever was going on with the minigames that still haven't been decoded.
      UCN's speaking is.. well, none of them are speaking. None of them are real. They're facimiles, little 2D cutouts of the characters moving and acting like they're aware, but it's all just the one kid running the torture show. Lines like Withered Chica's "I was the first, I have seen everything!", and Withered Bonnie's "What is this new prison? Is it me trapped, or is it you? Perhaps, it is us both." are not some hints towards those souls; they are that child - whichever they are, after and before all these retcons - ranting at William, them trapped there as much as he is. The other lines and mechanics are jokes from someone who's been watching, always there, hints at both what patterns those characters used to take and various childish jokes and jests about their appearances, tendencies and so on. _Maybe_ the Puppet is also there, but it's hard to say.
      SD, the mobile AR game, works well enough. In its lore, much of which is now 'cut' effectively despite unofficially by the game simply being abandoned, these are not the actual animatronics, just copies - save for Springtrap, who actually is intended to be the original Springtrap, still wandering aimlessly around. So their lines are based on the in-universe games, which SD also attempts to establish. The whole animatronic army thing was seemingly left behind, while the characterization of Vanny brought up in the game and the meta games-in-canon bits were kept.
      And SB, where the characters are once again just sentient mascots. No uniqueness there, it's just SL over again.
      And, well, all the games _did_ have some minor voice acting. Freddy's laugh, Foxy's song and Goldie's giggle in the first, BB in the second, Springtrap's distant pained moans in the ambience in 3, and Nightmare Fredbear's laughs in 4. Technically character voices, albeit likely controlled by their respective spirits.

    Scott got stuck in an awful cycle of hype and theories. He'd tell a vague story with intentional loose ends, the "theory community" collectively lost their minds and came up with tons of insane theories to try and answer those loose ends, then Scott just couldn't help himself when it came to writing the next game. He'd confirm a few theories, but also throw in some more loose ends to keep the hype train going. Writing the story as he went and trying to appease matpat and co. was massively detrimental to the series.

    Honestly the lore is what really turned me off. I was one of those lore obsessed guys from fnaf 1-4, but from sister location and beyond the lore became way too convoluted. It turned from a murderer who trapped kid's souls in animatronics, who pursue you out of blind confusion and torment, to all this nonsense with remnant and agony and the murderer is now a robotics genius who is obsessed with reviving his children and is now a digital virus for some reason even though it was basically confirmed that he was in hell, and this virus brainwashes testers to go kill and now we have gregory who is maybe a robot child and... I could go on. It turned from a twisted, grim reality to all this ridiculous sci-fi nonsense that sounds like it was made up along the way to explain stuff that even the devs didn't understand.

      Not just horror. But gameplay aswell. The newer games tend to be more fun with custom nights because it comes down to beating the challenge that they posses. Its more about survival and facing impossible odds than horror and this started with fnaf 2. People fail to realize this when they complain about the lack of horror in newer games.

    I remember when FNAF 1 came out, I saw it on the Google store for a few bucks and it had Freddy as the thumbnail. I was SO confused why that horrible bear sat at #1 on Games. I downloaded it and started playing it at night, with the lights off. The first jumpscare gave me that petrified feeling you got when watching those old jumpscares like the exorcist one or the car commercial. It's funny to think back on now that FNAF has been ran into the ground and isn't really scary anymore - I still remember that feeling of when I first tried the game, and how scared I was.

    After watching the movie and hearing all the buzz around FNaF again, I really appreciate this video for summarizing the community discussion from the time, and discussing current-day Five Nights as a whole.
    Because of the community (and my personal, almost deranged obsession at 8-9 years old) I’ve looked back at the series with disgust. I thought for a while now that the very first 3 or 4 games were the best in the series, but that the lore became convoluted and lackluster after. Yet middle school discussions made it seem like it was Oscar worthy storytelling, and no one could settle on which theory was correct at the time. And even today I have friends in freaking high school with me gushing about the movie and diving into the lore. Nothing against them, like what you want, but it’s crazy to me that this franchise has that much of a lingering factor on the generation of kids that were first exposed to it.
    Security Breach is the embodiment of every failure in FNaF to me. Plastic, shiny, and reflections of the cheap merchandise that gets pumped out all the time. I was appalled to see a “liberty Chica” animatronic from the mobile game as a figure in a meme posted online. In the comments section at the very top I saw nothing but lore explanations for WHY that character existed, and I still can’t believe how people are so fixated by it. Nothing justifies that cheap, corporate figurine because it’s so far removed from what Five Nights at Freddy’s is.
    The real heart of Five Nights was the story for me too, and the original story was the most interesting before I fell out of the community around the time of Sister Location. And I think you summarize perfectly just about everything I’ve thought about the games and the lore past that for years now.

    I personally don't really mind the change. The first few games were scary (mainly the first), and it became progressively more lore-focused and less scary. I don't really mind that, though. And tbh, nearly all major communities become meme gold mines after a while, and have bigger pools of strange fans. Popular things are like that. I don't think the memes are necessarily a geunine dig at the franchise, or that the weird fans outweigh the normal/good.

      @jerichode I think that is partially because of the community. People were very, very fascinated by the lore. I think there was somewhere where Scott said that people disliked the direction that he was taking the game (FnAF 4), so he kept adding onto it. People adored the lore, so he wanted to focus more on telling a story rather than focusing on the horror aspect because that's what people seemed to care more about.
      Either way, I love the games and the story. I do wish it was a little scarier, though. You can tell a story while being a horror game, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Still has a very special place in my heart, though, and I'm excited to see the movie!

      i don't think it's just correlation, i think there's a causative link between the increase in lore and decrease in horror. the more you explain something, the less dread it induces. it's the same reason that, for lack of a better example, some people choose to seek physical pain when they're experiencing emotional pain that they can't identify the clear source of. we are almost inherently afraid of things that we don't understand. fnaf 1 was "these things shouldn't be moving, and i don't know why they are, but they are. i don't know what they want. i don't know how they behave." but now, they're full characters with contrivable motivations and are granted the humanity of being possessed by human spirits rather than being soulless murdering automatons. the more everything is explained and the less room for mystery, the less fear there will be.

    I think you were a bit too harsh on fnaf 3. Sure the jumpscares sucked but the fact that springtrap hides from the cameras most of the time is actually great. It’s the same thing that contributed to making fnaf 1 scary. I think the gameplay loop is also quite good. Even though a lot of it is dependent sheer luck, at least there isn’t an optimal strategy like in fnaf 2 where you repeat the same routine in the most boring way possible (music box, mask, lights, repeat).

      While I like Springtrap hiding in the cameras, shows how intelligent he is, the entire colour pallet of that game is terrible. If there wasn't so much static which blends with the muddy greens I wouldn't mind. FNaF 1 had some static but you could at least reasonably see what was in the feed without having to strain your eyes and memorise where the animatronics were rendered in that cam. And my biggest problem with the gameplay is that it's really really easy, unless the game decides that suddenly that Springtrap you see on cams is a copy and the actual Springtrap is right outside your office.

    Personally I would say that springtraps jumpscare is the one that gets me every time. It’s not your traditional in your face scare but, a more human like approach which for me makes it unsettling. A reminder that it’s not just an animatronic but a man locked and forever intwined with his own machine. Couple that with his beyond withered appearance and human remains showing as he instinctively sneaks in swiftly and kills you, plus it’s apparent when he peeps in the door way staring at you in silence, giving a feeling of hopelessness and uncertainty like he did with his previous victims is chilling.

Hell, if you've seen any of Spiff's videos you'll know how bad the game is even after multiple patches and ... DLC before it even releases ? The fact Scott was telling them "hey add this" and the devs themselves just went "lmao no" ? Yeah it was an impossible feat to accomplish

    FNAF was such a huge part of my childhood, I was in 5th grade when the first game came out and I heard about it on the bus one day, watched marks video and was hooked. I was OBSESSED with FNAF all the way until sister location when I played it and lost interest, I just didn’t like the gameplay of sister location and thought the designs were goofy especially when you consider the time period. I came back years later at age 16 and fell in love with the nostalgia I had for the original four and played them again before leaving again until recently when I got back into it as an adult and played pizzeria sim along with help wanted and I loved them. I played through the older games before deciding to give security breach a try and holy fuck it’s a mess. The game isn’t bad cause of glitches but just bad game design, it’s formulated more like a rage game than a horror game or hell even a survival game. It’s just infuriating, there’s no consistent way to know what you’re doing, often the puzzles are the easy part but getting to the puzzles is the hard part. It doesn’t even resemble a FNAF game at all, neither in atmosphere, gameplay, or story. It just seems like a mess of a game that was pumped out to capitalize on hype from younger fans. Perhaps my adult taste is just different but I found the original games terrifying and while I’m not pissing myself playing through them anymore, there are elements that are still unsettling to this day in the original games whereas SB is similar to how the new Star Wars trilogy misses the point entirely and ends up ruining the franchise. I feel like SB just isn’t FNAF.

    The VHS style videos, Squimpus and Battington, really rejuvenated the FNAF scariness, in my opinion of course.

It's more on the mature side of horror, but that is also the reason why I love it so much. Security Breach is a great example of how, without much scares, FNAF is out for. But the VHS videos really excel with great animation and story telling. And to say that it is "more mature", is not just; Blood, gore and visually striking, either. The first video of Squimpus has a black box censoring what could only be imagined as a stuffed kid, which makes it really dark but also really well made. Really, really well done.

    Back in 2014, Five Nights at Freddy's was a masterpiece. The photo-realistic graphics, the point-click mechanic, the jumpscares, and even the lore, which today is a joke. Back in the day, it was RARE to see a game which included children getting murdered, such a gruesome and dark thing to put in a game, specially for someone like Scott Cawthon, a devoted Christian, who was struggling with money and used to upload christian animations to UA-cam. Yet he decided to add it in, and the result was a scary, eerie, never-before seen horror game which did actually try to be scary and appeal to older audiences.
    Well, a few successes later and we now have a never ending goofy ass lore, not scary game, extremely high prices, a game which is made to appeal to children. We now have the FIRST Five Nights at Freddy's that doesn't have Five Nights at Freddy's, it's 1 night long. We also have characters specifically made for horny weebs and characters with personality... on a Robot Horror game. The game is also filled with bugs, i think that at this point, we can call it a Bug with a game inside of it.
    Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator is the true ending of FNaF, and even then, the lore was already fucked up

    This video completely put all my thoughts about FNAF into words. I for the longest time have been trying to figure out what it was about SL and everything about the main story changing that irked me the wrong way, and you nailed it: it's good writing, but wrong franchise. You just put my 6 years of feelings over the FNAF story into coherent sentences. Awesome video!! I also definitely agree with your view of Afton. He went from being this mysterious, ominous figure to literally folding in like someone caught by Chris Hansen ("yeah I knew it. I knew this was a trap"). Ending the series at the Henry speech would've been PERFECT

    Man, I miss the feeling the OG FNAF games gave me. Every game up until about Sister Location (discluding FNAF World) had this eerie, claustrophobic, stagnant feel to it that left you feeling extremely nervous and vulnerable - especially the first game. A brand new feeling of horror, is what Scott created, and that is inspirational. I haven't felt horror like it before or after.
    I remember when FNAF had just come out! I watched Yamimash play it and was an instant fan, and I even managed to send some fanart off to Scott who had actually replied to me saying my art was brilliant and to keep it up! Those were the days before it was physically impossible to get a direct response from the man, so I count myself lucky 😁
    While I do like the new games, I'm nowhere near as much of a fan partly due to the lack of such a feeling we got from the OG series. I'm not a fan of the goofiness (it worked well for SL but even then the feelings of horror for me were already falling short,) certainly not a fan of the child friendly aesthetic and not really hyped about the new storyline. It doesn't feel like FNAF anymore. Of course there's only so many games you can make with the same formula before it starts feeling a little lackluster, but Scott made it work for the most part and ended the OG series off quite well imo. It didn't need to continue, but here we are.

    I've been there since the beginning. I've seen it all. Don't know if I should be proud of being a FNaF hardcore OG fan or ashamed that I've wasted so much time for this goofy robot horror. FNaF is weird, I can tell you that. It's most certainly not for everyone, especially not the old FNaF 1-ucn. It's a crazy story of in-game lore, the community and it's weird creations, all the dramas. I've seen so much and now I'm just lost wether I do still love FNaF or if I'm supposed to leave it behind. I'd be healthier for me to let it go but I just can't. I'm stuck, I've been raised by this game series and I will forever remember it. Thank you FNaF for changing my life for the worse and for the better at the same time. Thank you Scott for the amazing journey. Life takes and gives.

    Amazing video! I often listen to long videos while I draw or knit, and very often, I lose focus and the video begins to sound like mindless talking. This video has kept my attention every second! Generous sprinkles of humor throughout helped make this long knitting session bearable. The remote sink unclogging really got me 😅 But it was still well made enough to have me constantly immersed!

    I've said it before on some other videos, but I much prefer the old fnaf, as in the original 3 ~ 4 games. Specifically fnaf 1 and 2.
    When fnaf 1 came out it was memorable as hell. I remember the parts of the house me and my brother played it in, the Markiplier videos, the spooks and all. There's something about the original game specifically that felt grounded and realistic. Despite the graphics, it felt like something that could feasibly exist in real life, giving it a haunting and actually immersive vibe.
    We loved it so much that when 2 was announced our hype went through the roof, which for me was the highlight of the game series.
    It's really not the change that bothers me, it's that the actual deeper elements (story, vibe, design) behind what made fnaf so good is gone and replaced by whatever security breach and the newer games are supposed to be.

      @@whoknows5145 There is so much wrong with what you said. It's not even funny.
      You legitimately think Scott Cawthon (a vocal Christian. You know, the religion that says "love your neighbor") is donating to organizations that "dehumanize people." Do you not see how logically inconsistent? That's literally the fundamental opposite of everything he stands for. It'd be like a racial supremacist supporting interracial marriage.
      It's so pathetic to see people make this argument. Like, I'd genuinly have more respect for you if you just said "Scott deserved it" because then you'd at least be honest. To say Scott is at all in the wrong here shows either a grave misunderstanding of morality or a sick mind that'd make even William Afton blush.
      Scott is allowed to support republican politicians, dude. It's called "having a different opinion" you know, something humans do? (Since you wanna talk about "dehumanizing")

    16:48 We did actually know during FNAF 1 that there were children stuffed into the robots, or atleast could reasonably assume that. In FNAF 1 theres a rules poster that occasionally changes to a newspaper about how children dissapeared at Freddys, and how the animatronic suits started leaking blood, presumably the blood of the children.

    As a kid back in 2014 i hated horror so much so i couldn't even look at it because of how terrified i was. When Fnaf came out my friend talked about it alot and made me download it and man the first time playing it i was terrified yet i had this feeling that i never felt at that moment was having fun being scared of horror. Fnaf was the birth of my love for horror and i'll always remember it
