MEGA SUPER ULTRA FNAF SPOILERS, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

Sprite cutscenes: Purple guy/Ennard walks down the sidewalk with his neighbors waving at him. After the second one, however, the skinsuit Ennard made from the purple guy begins to rot, until it looks like a zombie. Ennard abandons the skin, which collapses to the ground... until it abruptly stands back up, very much alive.

FInal cutscene: There are two Purple Guys. William Afton, and his son, Micheal Afton. Micheal's dialogue is slightly ambiguous, as it can apply equally to events shown in Sister Location and Fnaf3. The cutscene itself shows the burned-down Fazbear's Fright from 3, and Springtrap, unharmed, walking out of it.

Yeah, it's putting things into a bleak direction to be sure.

I think it's interesting that despite the jump scare moment from Circus Baby in the first Sister Location trailer you never see her move in the entire game + DLC; and according to some you potentially never speak to her at all.

I wish we had gotten to see Ballora moving off her track. Cawthon described her as moving like a spider. Maybe have been too complex to really render for him though (not from a skill thing, but an indie budget/time thing).

No way, I bet they love it. And people like watching them especially when new stuff comes out and completely changes what everyone thinks the deal is. I think that's a lot of the fun of the mystery with these games

Okay, take this from the top. There is a purple man. He is a security guard at Chuck E Cheesy and kills kids in the back, except the kids' ghosts possess these animatronics and one day he gets trapped in an animatronic suit and dies. Is he possessed? I don't know. Then..there's a kid at home and he's running around and kills himself? Someone is bit. In the new one, you're a security guard and eventually an animatronic takes your skin and tries to get out of Cheesy's. Fill in what I'm missing.

The kid gets his head crushed by a lovely old robot way before ANYTHING else happens as far as we know. That's 4. His ghost might be the thing that made all the robots alive. Then the killings happen, fnaf 2, the robot poo poo gets possessed on top of being alive. First game happens, Mike Schmidt works for two weeks and gets canned. Then it's twenty years in the future, and at some point the guy who killed the kids comes back, and uses a glitch in the bots to destroy them and tie up loose ends. He accidentally frees the kids souls in the process and gets locked inside a crappy mascot suit/robot hybrid that malfunctions and kills the gently caress out of him, turning him into a zombie robot thingy that's even worse than the others, and is eventually discovered. At this point, he's also the only one that's still functioning, again, as far as we know; after the tourist trap museum he's relocated to burns down, he's sold and his fate is unknown. A recent revelation is that the man actually inside the zombie suit may have been the son of the actual child killer.

Sister Location is about a new place in an even more futuristic time about a creepy doll robot girl that accidentally sucked a little girl into her robot gears and insides and ground her up. This also caused the other bots around her to be possessed(?) And created an rear end in a top hat evil AI named Ennard who's ultimate plan ends with the player character skinned and Ennard wearing it to escape his confinement at the facility the game takes place in. The skin however rots, and Ennard escapes out of it into the sewer while the skin returns to life and looks exactly like the child killer from the early games.

Same here, FNaF is delightfully demented. I also think a lot of complaints about the fanbase is a coded form of "drat kids today don't know what's good" and possibly resentment over a handful of people who built successful YT/Twitch careers from featuring the game. The poo poo part of the fanbase are mainly the creeps who sexualize the most kid-friendly* horror series since Goosebumps; theory-crafters get annoying, but again I think a lot of them are literally kids/preteens so I don't get irritated. Scott himself is humble, donates generously, and flew out a few personalities to visit the FNaF haunted attraction in Vegas this past October as a thank you/way for everyone to see a bit of what the limited show was like.

* The most graphic the game gets is rendered in Atari-era pixels, there's no overt violence, the voice acting/script is PG at most, lots of comedy (both silly and dry/dark). Lots of folks don't like jump scares, but FNaF's scares are the digital equivalent of a jack-in-the-box, a toy lots of kids are still familiar with - or their parents are.

You know. I quite like Gravity Rush, but part of me wants to see a new Siren game. I was just thinking of the possibility of a PS4 Siren game using VR technology where you can quite literally see through the eyes of Shibito and other monsters. They could even reuse the gimmick from Siren 2 where one of the playable characters in blind and that's reflected in VR and you have to sightjack to see and orient yourself.

Except from the new super special hard ending of the latest game, Springtrap might just be the killer's kid and the purple body is actually him rotting away while being some sort of messed up undead cyborg corpse? Like he actually was a purple man before he was trapped and rotted away for 20 years and maybe the robots were made to kidnap/murder kids all along? This franchise's story has so many broken pieces to it that it feels like its never going to have a narrative and is probably better off without one, but the fandom just needs those theories.

Let me read you a passage from biblical canon that no one likes to talk about, my favorite, 2 Kings 2:23-5.

quote:

23 Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!” 24 When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number. 25 And he went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.

This is a book where a man summons 2 bears to horrifically maul, kill and/or devour 42 kids for calling him bald. People are turned into salt for looking back at horrible devastation. The world is flooded. And depending on certain fan theories the official wiki didn't like, angels got down and hosed with humans to create cannibal half-breed giants.

It would be fun if someone did a horror story in biblical times. You don't even need to reference Christ, there are plenty of moments where men do horrible things and then come face to face with something otherworldly.

The reason they refer to angels as 'one like X' is because they're actually saying 'This thing was so loving crazy I can't describe it in human terms but this is the closest I can get.'

There's a reason that the first thing Angels say to people is "Be not afraid", because they're all monstrosities of Lovecraftian proportions.

Partly, but also partly because even when they're passing for human they are sacred while humans are profane (being of this earth) and so the very presence of a higher being inspires pants-making GBS threads terror and awe.

I mean, whenever angels show up on the scene, the first thing they usually say is 'Do not be afraid!' Because they are wheels made of eyes.

Sometimes, but sometimes it's just 'I saw one like a son of man.' And even then they're terrified

Angels are cool and the idea of demons from the old Enochian sect are also cool because they're the immortal part of the Nephilim that couldn't die with the mortal part during the flood (because it was a higher being and so water wouldn't kill it) wandering the universe as disjointed and hateful spirits that fundamentally disorder creation by their existence, to the point that eventually God is gonna need to hit the reset button. That was their explanation for breaches of theodicy (the justice of god) and bad things happening to good people; it shouldn't happen but it does because loving immortal turbo-demons that are half the existence of the spawn of humans and angels are running around loving everything up and even God is powerless to wipe them clean without rebooting the universe.

Basically 2nd temple Judaism came up with cosmic horror (or at least a relatively disenfranchised sect that was pissed off about the current priestly sect controlling all of the kingdom's governance did) after they ran into Zoroastrianism when the Persians beat Babylon and released the captive noble classes.
