Note: This thread may be slightly unnerving for younger viewers. Having said that, most kids are rock-hard when it comes to the internet these days, so I'm not worried Yes, you read correctly. The creator of the infamous FNAF series, Scott Cawthon, has released a teaser image on his website: scottgames.com . The image shows a Red-ish colour animatronic (presumably) holding Freddy Fazbear's famous top hat. Why is this significant? Since the release of FNAF 3, Cawthon's website showed F. F.'s top hat alone under a spotlight. But in recent days, the top hat had disappeared leaving only the spotlight. Could this be a reference towards FNAF 4? The only piece of text is in the lower left corner of the screen, which reads,"The Final Chapter." This shows us that FNAF 4 will be the Final Game in the series. Underneath this reads a date: 10/31/15. This shows us that FNAF 4 will release on the 31st October of this year: 2015. What's significant about that? That's the date of Halloween! Below, I will include information about the 3 currently released games. Information taken from the FNAF Wiki & Standard Wikipedia. (This is when stuff gets serious now, so if you're easily offended or you're uncomfortable with violence, I would recommend looking at another thread). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Five Nights at Freddy's is an indie point-and-click survival horror video game developed by Scott Cawthon. The goal is for the player to try to survive the night at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza while avoiding getting caught and killed by the animatronic characters. • Five Nights at Freddy's 1 - Freddy Fazbear's Pizza was once a popular restaurant for adults and children alike. However, due to a number of incidents including the kidnapping and implied murder of five children by a man wearing an empty animatronic suit, sanctions by the Health Department over the numerous reports of dirtiness, and "The Bite of '87", the pizzeria has fallen on hard times. Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is set to close by the end of the year, as potential buyers do not want to be associated with the tainted reputation of the company. The four mascots - Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny, Chica the Chicken, and Foxy the Pirate had a particularly foul odor and what appeared to be "blood and mucus" around their eyes and mouths, which concerned parents had interpreted as "reanimated carcasses". The Phone Guy remarks in Night 1's phone message that the animatronics haven't been cleaned in their 20+ years of service, which would explain the nasty odor. The stench could also be attributed to a popular theory that the missing children were stuffed into the animatronic suits after they were killed, and that their decomposing bodies were producing the repulsive smell. Supposedly, due to the risk of their servos locking up from disuse, the animatronics have been left in a "free roaming mode" at night over the years. They used to be able to roam freely during the day as well, but The Bite of '87 caused the pizzeria to put a stop to this. Phone Guy has unfortunately disappeared, as heard during the phone call on Night 4, and is implied to have been stuffed into a suit and/or killed. There are many theories as to what happened to Phone Guy after the call cuts out, but one can be certain that he was attacked. There is also speculation about a more complicated and twisted version of the plot, due to the phone message heard during Night 5. • Five Nights at Freddy's 2 - Taking place in 1987, the player character (who is later revealed to be named Jeremy Fitzgerald) has started working as a night watch security guard at the family restaurant Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. As he did in the previous game, a specific Freddy Fazbear's Pizza employee calls Jeremy on the phone in the office at the beginning of each night to explain both gameplay and the story. He explains that the animatronics, which have special facial recognition software to protect the children from potential harm, were not programmed with a proper night mode, so when they do not hear any noise, their programming tells them that they are in the wrong room and they seek out the nearest source of noise to find people to entertain, which happens to be in the office. As in the previous game, the animatronics' programming also tells them that there should not be people in the restaurant after hours, so when they encounter Jeremy, they believe he is an animatronic endoskeleton without a costume and stuff him into a spare Freddy Fazbear suit, killing him in the process. The man on the phone also explains that this restaurant has an unlimited power source at night, unlike the previous location, but there are no doors blocking access to the office, requiring the player to use a spare Freddy Fazbear mask to trick most animatronics into thinking he is not an endoskeleton. The player will also be informed to keep a music box wound up to keep an additional animatronic from leaving its box and attacking the player. The player is also informed their flashlight will cause certain animatronics to reboot and leave the room. As more enemy characters appear as the player advances through the game, the man on the phone informs Jeremy of the characters' presence, their movement patterns, and some background information on their presence in the sequel. For example, the man on the phone explains that the older animatronics are in the new restaurant, and have been retrofitted with the new technology, but as they did not work properly they are kept for spare parts. As the game progresses, it is hinted that something is going on during the day, as the man on the phone mentions that rumors are going around and, later, that a police investigation is going on. Exactly what is happening is not specified, but the man informs them that someone had apparently entered the restaurant and "used one of the [animatronic] suits" for unknown intentions. On the game's fifth night, Jeremy is informed by the man on the phone that the restaurant has been put on lockdown due to an event that he will not describe but which is in place to make sure no employees, present or former, can come in or go out. The man also mentions that the position of the restaurant's day shift security has a vacancy and Jeremy may be promoted to it, and that the owner of the older restaurant named "Fredbear's Family Diner" will be contacted for more information on the animatronics. On the sixth night, the man on the phone informs Jeremy that the restaurant has been closed for undescribed reasons, but he does mention that someone used a "spare yellow suit" for the animatronics and now none of them work properly. He also tells Jeremy that he will be taking over as night shift security guard when the restaurant reopens. If Jeremy is successful in surviving the sixth night, he is promoted to day shift to cover a birthday party on the next day to make sure the animatronics do not cause any problems. A newspaper that is shown in the winning screen of the sixth night says that the restaurant will close down and the newer animatronics will be scrapped, but the older ones saved for when the restaurant reopens, hinting at the events of the first game. In the custom night level, Jeremy is replaced by a new player character named Fritz Smith due to Jeremy's promotion. If the player manages to win the custom night, they discover Fritz has been fired for "tampering with [the] animatronics" and "odor", a call back to the previous game's custom level message. • Five Nights at Freddy's 3 - Five Nights at Freddy's 3 is set thirty years after the events of the original game. The player assumes the role of a newly hired employee at Fazbear's Fright, a horror-themed attraction designed to capitalize on the disastrous past events at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, constructed using paraphernalia salvaged from the original restaurants. During the week before the attraction is scheduled to open to the public, the player must watch over the facility from the security office during the night shift (12:00 am to 6:00 am game time), using a network of surveillance cameras placed in the rooms and air vents. In addition, the player must monitor the status of three operating systems - cameras, audio, and ventilation - and reboot them whenever they begin to malfunction. Camera problems cause the video feeds, already poorly lit and distorted, to become totally obscured by static. If the ventilation fails, the player begins to hallucinate and to see phantoms of animatronics from the previous games, which may cause additional malfunctions. After the first night, the staff at Fazbear Fright uncover a deteriorated, rabbit-like animatronic, which they refer to as Springtrap. The player must now prevent it from entering the office and attacking; if this happens, the game ends. The player can seal off the air vents at certain points to block its progress, but cannot seal the door or air vent that lead directly into the office. The audio system can be used to play sound effects that draw it away from the office. As the nights progress, the player hears a series of instructional cassette tapes, similar to the telephone calls from the first two games, that instruct employees how to operate the Springtrap suit, which can be worn by both humans and animatronic endoskeletons. However, later tapes discourage usage of the suit by employees due to a series of fatal accidents involving the failure of the suit's spring-lock mechanism. Low-resolution minigames between nights hint at the restaurant's troubled past, with the first four nights' minigames depicting the original animatronics following a dark purple animatronic before being violently disassembled by a 'purple man', previously seen in the minigames of Five Nights at Freddy's 2, as the man responsible for the various murders that occurred throughout the franchise's history. In the fifth night's minigame, the ghosts of the five children who inhabited the animatronics corner the purple man, who attempts to protect himself by hiding in the Springtrap suit. However, the suit's faulty spring-lock mechanism fails, and the purple man is crushed as the children fade away, leaving their killer to bleed to death. Unlike the previous entries, Five Nights at Freddy's 3 contains two endings, depending on whether the player has found and completed all of the hidden minigames within the main game. Some of these are only available on specific nights, while others can be accessed during any night. The "bad ending" is attained from completing the game without completing all the hidden minigames, and shows a screen depicting the heads of the five animatronics from the first game with lit-up eyes. Completing all the hidden minigames before completing the game earns the "good ending", which is the same screen as described previously but with the animatronics' heads turned off. Completing all five nights unlocks a bonus night, "Nightmare", which boosts the game's difficulty, similar to "Night 6" in the previous titles. While playing the mode, an archived recording states that all Freddy Fazbear Pizza locations' safe rooms, an additional emergency room not recorded in the animatronics' AI or security systems, will be permanently sealed, instructing employees to tell no one of their existence. When this night is completed, a newspaper clipping reveals that Fazbear's Fright is destroyed in a fire shortly after the events of the game, and that any salvageable pieces from the attraction are to be auctioned off. However, brightening the image reveals Springtrap in the background, which suggests he somehow survived, leaving his fate unknown. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= It's also worth mentioning that, before the 4th instalment was released, news about a FNAF film: " Warner Bros. Pictures announced in April 2015 that it had acquired the rights to adapt the series to film. Roy Lee, Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg are set to produce. Grahame-Smith stated that they are collaborating with Cawthon "to make an insane, terrifying and weirdly adorable movie". I've included a poll in this thread to see what you guys think about this. Are you excited about the release of another FNAF game? Do you think Cawthon should've called it quits at the 3rd instalment? Post your thoughts in the comment section!
I saw the teaser image and this one actually looks extremely frightening. I am SUPER excited, and I hope it won't be the last game.
Phone I thought you wrote all that yourself and then I realized it was just a copy paste smh. And I thought like this was supposed to be a trilogy but it's not, shaking my head.
I mean, I was hoping there would be FIVE games.. to tie in with the title FIVE Nights at Freddy's. Nonetheless, the poster on Scott's website is definitely darker than any other he's done for any other game. I'm looking forward to it greatly!
Shoot me I just find FNAF to be a one hit wonder and its turning into Dead space Where the games keep coming but they are declining.
I agree with the five games thing. I don't believe that this is the final game, as Scott likes to tease us and keep things well hidden.
That is something that a lot of gamers feel strongly about and I don't disagree with you. Because you also have to consider: how can you keep making jumpscares original?
I agree with this. FNAF has the same formula Someone is coming Find them Pray that you don't get raped.
Warning: The following images may be inappropriate for younger audiences. If it makes you feel any better, remember: they're COMPLETELY, 100% fake. Two teaser images have been released so far for on Scott Cawthorn's (the creator of 'Five Nights at Freddy's') website! It definitely looks as if there will be a more nightmarish, horror feel to the game. The first time you see the jumpscares really do get you, but these look like some of the scariest animatronics so far! - What do you think of the look of the game thus far?
This game actually looks VERY scary, and hopefully there will be the "nightmare" forms of the other animatronics as well. Also, as I said before, Scott likes to hide information.
