Should springtrap from fnaf be in dbd
he would be a good fit right?

Nope.

What's his power going to be? Jumpscare us to death? Sorry, but I'll take Ghostface doing that anyday. Fnaf had it's moment in the spotlight. And as much as I love Fnaf, it doesn't belong in DbD whatsoever.

His power is to lock a survivor in the killer shack where all they can do is board up one door at a time.

He's the only animatronic that works since he's possessed by a serial killer.

People have made a million and one posts about this: the answer is usually a resounding "no." Practically the only people I see that like the idea, save for a couple, are already fans of it and obviously are already on board.
Also want to add, it's odd that there's a fresh new account with 1 post putting this thread up... Makes me wonder if this is the OP from one of those other threads.

If they would ever add a fnaf character I really hope it wouldn't be springtrap. It'd be better for a classic character or they could do what they did for legion. The killer could be freddy and there could be bonnie and chica as skins.

You know people hate FNAF because it's mostly popular with kids. And yeah it's pretty cringy and the game itself is shallow BUT it's also the single most relevant horror game in the last decade or 2. They deserve representation. Im not a FNAF fan but i would say if anyone i would want Freddy added since he's the main guy...bear robot demon thing. Also the map would be pretty ######### dope, im on board for that alone!

Yes, he would fit. A lot of people come into contact with the smallest problem with a FNaF killer, and then just give up and say no. I get it if you don't want a FNaF killer out of your personal preference; That's perfectly fine. When people cheat FNaF out of it's potential, that's when I get pretty upset.

The map would be cool. I just wouldn’t look forward to the influx of ragey little kids since FNAF is so huge with them. Or maybe I’m just triggered from when Ninja started playing and brought over the Fortnite kids lol.
1 -
I think Springtrap would be the best fit out of the Fnaf franchise for DBD. He would easily become my favorite killer if he was added simply because I absolutely love the thought of being able to play as him.
1 -
I mean, I didn't really notice any shift in the community when Stranger Things was announced, but I guess every community is different, so there isn't really a way to tell what can happen. Also, Ninja played DbD? I gotta check that out sometime. It seems like he'd have strong reactions to the game.

Stranger Things isn’t as popular with little kids, as far as I’m aware. But who knows. Maybe FNAF would be fine. When I hear about a franchise that’s popular with children, my mind just automatically goes to the angry Fortnite kids who try to mimic Ninja’s ragey personality. And I would hate for that to come to DBD lol. At least it doesn’t have open mic.

Didn’t they just add Bonnie to the game? I’m already running around as a crazed blue bunny~

I know FNaF used to be popular with kids, but I have no clue if that's still the case today. FNaF has been a thing for quite some time, maybe some of them grew up? We'll never know, but I do have to say, I definitely agree that "Fortnite kids" would not be fun to deal with.

Considering they've made a Chapter from a game, I wouldn't say this is impossible. It was pretty popular for a moment, but certain youtubers and the influx of kids (for whatever godawful reason) getting into the game made the game get a bad rep.
It's a great horror game series, and I'd personally love to see Springtrap make it as a killer. No clue what the power could be, or who the survivor could be.
1 -
I'd rather have something iconic and deserving of being in the game. FNAF isn't even scary, and it was only made popular by Youtubers forcing themselves to scream on camera.
1 -
You mean just like DBD?
2 -
I think that is the only character that could be added to the game from FNaF. I think it could work. But some people don't want it because they don't want the baggage from the fanbase... even though we already have a pretty toxic one anyway...
1 -
Really? Cause honestly the nightmare animatronics are imo the scariest looking ones in the series.
0 -
I think its more of the fact that Springtrap is an actual murderer, while the other ones are just spirits.
1 -
That's the point of them, but they still don't look scary.
DBD isn't scary, but it wasn't popularised by people acting like 8 year olds on camera.

Honestly... kinda want it to happen just so Matpat can try to connect the Fnaf lore with Dbd lore...
Would be a fun video. 🤣
I really don't get the reaction people have against Fnaf or the xenomorph. It's like when a new character gets in smash, but "oh no, it's from FE again".
I just don't get it.

No one has any problem with alien.
About 2/3 of the internet sees fnaf and instantly think of the fan base and how game theory is trying to solve a mystery that can't be solved because the story changes completely with every game release so it can be milked for cash.
Its like the lament configuration. Once its solved the person who solves it dies. Or in this case the series dies.
1 -
If I remember correctly, a lot of the FNaF community also dislikes game theory.

No one has any problem with alien.
You would be surprised. I sure was after I and other people brought it up. People have several issues with Alien. Ranging from "not a slasher" to "not humanoid" to "the alien is too powerful" to "alien doesn't work in a dbd style game".
Granted, this was before demogorgon, now the new counterpoint is "alien is pointless since demo does all it would do"

Spring trap is perfect fit as a paragraph. Before he got “killed” in the suit he was a serial killer so the entity would have an interest in him, lore wise.
I’m not sure what the hate is against potential licensed characters. I for one would like to see Scorpion from Mortal Kombat, although deathslinger has sort of made him redundant.

Dude, is it so hard to understand nobody wants to have their favorite iconic horror stories and characters sullied by being product with a super cringe, glorified creepy pasta?
I'm sorry, but that's the absolute point of disbelief I will not Cross with DBD. It's Zany, has quirky imagery and goofy cosmetics like Dwelf, but the moment I see a ######### Chicka running around like a fetid big bird, I quit! ######### it, I think I can stand by this one.

knowing how the fnaf games are and how Scott thinks, im sure he'd have the dbd devs put a lore clue somewhere in the map. i can see it now
"if you turn on the generator in the main party room and the parts and service room exactly 6 minutes into the match, a special door will open up that leads downstairs. this is the ONLY way to reach this room and when you get in there, its none other than good ol William Afton himself, sitting there in the freshly locked Spring Bonnie suit"
i watch too much game theory. and fnaf stuff.

So, why are you still here? Or did you not see the new legion skin?
This "glorified creepy pasta" thing... you do realize I can say this about every licensed killer in this game right? They are all creepy pastas that happened to get a movie a long-ish time ago so people accepted them as icons. If there were a franchise of killer animatronics from a pizzaria that started in the 80s or 90s this conversation would not be happening.
What separates these "icons" from creppy pastas if not public awareness of them?
Do you really not realize this distinction you're making is entirely subjective?
0 -
The easter egg will probably be golden freddy or the puppet, since the killer would more likely be springtrap.
Same...watched too many lore videos, barely actually played the games :p

Ignoring the "Haha bunny rabbits in" comment which is irrelevant because it has nothing to do with FnaF
I'll put it to you this way; what makes FnaF so compelling? What was it's original story? I mean, obviously there is no distinction between what I referred to as Creepy Pasta and established horror IP's that people actually respect.
So please relay to us the captivating tale of FNaF, which is totally not created in a concept ANYONE who lived through the 80's and 90's could have or already have made and rehashed in numerous forms of media, because you know, even though Chucky Cheese was exponentially more profitable and popular then and is going bankrupt now, those people who went there back then never thought "Anthropomorphic bots - scary!" So it already has originality going for it!

Ignoring the "Haha bunny rabbits in" comment which is irrelevant because it has nothing to do with FnaF
Except for the similar visuals? Which means you have a double standard since you just don't like fnaf but is apparently ok with bunny legion?
Oh yeah... nothing at all.
I'll put it to you this way; what makes FnaF so compelling?
The deep lore is probably what draws most people into it. There's also the people that enjoy the resource management style of the game. People also enjoy it's take on a horror game. Maybe they like the characters...
I don't see how this is relevant at all... it's obvious lots of people enjoy the IP. What else is needed?
What was it's original story?
The souls of murdered children are possessing/stuck in several animatronics. They only gain full control of the animatronics at night and become very "murdery". You are the night guard and must survive an entire week of work there.
That's the simplified version. There's hundreds of lore videos of fnaf, go watch those if you actually care about the story.
And just in case your point is something among the lines of "the story is too simple, not enough depth"... halloween is about a crazy stalker killing babysitters in the suburbs. Nightmare on elm street is about a guy killing the children of the people that burned him to death while they are sleeping. Friday the 13th is about a crazy mother killing camp counselours because other camp counselours let her son drown.
You can simplify everything.
I mean, obviously there is no distinction between what I referred to as Creepy Pasta and established horror IP's that people actually respect.
I already explained the difference between fnaf and other horror IP that "people actually respect". Go read my last response to you.
Btw, going "oh no, he's saying the difference between them is just how famous they are. I won't say why they are different but I know they are" is not helping your case
So please relay to us the captivating tale of FNaF,
Go watch the lore videos if you want more indepth knowledge about it... obviously you don't, you already have a formed opinion about it without knowing the lore, so why start caring about it now right?
which is totally not created in a concept ANYONE who lived through the 80's and 90's could have or already have made and rehashed in numerous forms of media,
I Call. Name the franchise that did fnaf before fnaf.
Killer animatronics in a pizzaria. Which is what I said in my last post to you. Go on, I'll wait.
because you know, even though Chucky Cheese was exponentially more profitable and popular then and is going bankrupt now,
Who the hell carea about chucky cheese? Are they a horror franchise? No. So who cares?
Fnaf has made scott so much money he quite literally makes his games free at this point.
To make an analogy... How broke restaurant A is doesn't matter when we talk about restaurant B being famous and lucrative.
those people who went there back then never thought "Anthropomorphic bots - scary!" So it already has originality going for it!
I Never went to a chucky cheese, they don't exist here. But from what I heard several kids were indeed afraid of it. Don't know about adults.
I have no idea what kind of point you're trying to make here.

It's a bad creepy pasta for the reason Scott made at least 7 games, in which all the main series games are bad because they are all the same with different textures. The only good ones are the spin off games, but even then there is no saving the trainwreck of a story.
Also you said Alien wasn't humanoid, that's a yikes from me. Also you can't compare Alien to fnaf, or any icon like Myers or Krueger. They were well made and their story is falling apart with every installment.
1 -
Halloween has like 10 "sequels" and like... 3 are actually good?
Same for nightmare on elm street and texas chainsaw massacre. So does that make freddy, michael and bubba bad creepy pasta? Otherwise this point is moot.
Also you said Alien wasn't humanoid, that's a yikes from me. Also you can't compare Alien to fnaf, or any icon like Myers or Krueger. They were well made and their story is falling apart with every installment.
If you go back to my comment you'll see it was in quotation marks. It means I'm repeating what others said. It was pretty obvious when you consider the full comment.
I can compare them. Of course I can. Everything is relative, we only know the differences with 2 things when we compare them.
And I can easily compare them and say, "while alien gets worse with every sequel (except for aliens) fnaf gets better with every sequel".
Oh wow, I compared 2 things with each other... that means they are all the same quality right? /s

I saw you post this earlier, LOL.

You're trolling yourself. Seriously kid, have you never heard of Chucky?
If so, I'll name several IPs that have done scary or "possessed" anamtronics before FnaF - Goosebumps, invader Zim, puppet master, are you afraid of the dark... I can keep going. People have been making jokes about the banana splits being serial killers since the 70's.....
But I'll stop right there with that. We all know you're being obnoxious at this point, I'm not going to continue to argue with someone who is being willfully ignorant.. Because I don't have to. Like I said, it's stupid kiddie horror fan fic creepy pasta cringe, and the vast majority would NOT want to have it in the game.
If the developers of DBD decide one day "hey, I know, let's just throw in a stupid, unoriginal, cartoony, child-audience drawing character in here, just so we can finally piss off all solo que and make everyone who did not consent to playing a horror game with a giant yellow ######### chicken with a bib on feel like deleting a game they likely spent around 80 bucks for with DLC and cosmetics... Well like I said I quit.
But I'm pretty sure that I won't be quitting anytime soon now

Because the lore of fnaf is weird, no. If the assumptions are correct, adding the purple guy on dbd is not a good idea. Maybe when the lore shorts out, yes.

Chucky is a doll. Not an animatronic.
Remember when I said "animatronics in a pizzaria"? Before you even said it wasn't original? Because obviously animatronics have been used before. But by your dumbass logic, there isn't a single original killer in this game. Or survivor.
It's like saying godzilla ripped off king kong for using a giant monster. You abstract so much it doesn't matter anymore.

Chucky is a doll, he's possessed by a dead person, he is supposed to play on people's fear of creepy things that are supposed to be cute and child-like.
But like I said, the idea has been done in SO MANY WAYS , even the very specific way you choose "animatronics in a pizzaria". It's such an entrenched idea in pop culture, it literally never necessitated being fully realized and translated to screen or a serious horror series because it's seen as hokey and wouldn't make for a really good story on it's own.... Which is why the story had to be amended several times, retconned, etc... All within the span of like 5 years... And on top of that people literally have to make lore videos in order to make the story not sound stupid. If you EVER have to reach outside of the specific media you are observing in order to make that work make any sense, you have a ######### story.
Anyways, I don't know how I can make what I'm saying anymore clear, so absolutely continue in vein to try and legitimize the most pedestrian horror franchise out there.. I think FnaF has some serious competition there with Sirenhead, can't wait for those requests to start flooding in.

One of the biggest Horror icons in modern gaming?
A character as recognizable by kids as Mickey Mouse or Mario?
Yes, ofc it should be part of the Game, this is where he belongs.
