Yes, Springtrap Can Work in DBD

what I find fascinating with LITERALLY every of these threads is that while, okay, you people put thought into the perks, i very, very rarely see any actual thoughts on the actual gameplay.

You'd have a new RE chapter situation:

A killer with a lackluster ability and an obnoxious hard to navigate map.

you've seen how many people came in for RE, people who found that while the RE map is great, they'd rather play on other maps, and play other killers (jill and leon are fine though)

And that's the other thing: The RE chapter had its survivors and looks as a saving grace, fnaf can't offer that.

And again, I never see an answer to 'okay, so you thought about the perks, and map and cosmetics, but what about gameplay' in these threads, only handwaving, really.

Meanwhile you have potential killers like Candyman who could play similar to spirit and wraith when turning into bees, Sadako/Samara who could play similar to freddy/trapper leaving tapes that can serve as traps/teleport points, Lady D who could use her daughters to trap gens, lockers etc.

Also, don't you people think that if something gets added only so you bunch will finally shut up they'll put heart and care into it? Look, trickster and twins and nemesis are generally disliked, but you can see they tried.

Now imagine what you'll get if you pressure them into wasting money on a license just so you'll stop pestering them

I actually like Trickster, but I don't get why people hate on FNAF, then say Trickster is fine. lol

Which is completely fine, it's not going to change my view on FNAF.

And that's your opinion. I disagree with it, but I respect it.

In addition, the lore has confirmed, with Freddy's backstory, that the Entity can just GIVE and TAKE abilities to and from Killers as it sees fit.

"... His powers were tempered in some ways and focused in others..."

If you like/liked FNAF at any point, I'd disagree that you are "fine".

It's your opinion on whether of not you think he's scary. Not everyone shares your opinion. I personally disagree with you and there's those that disagree with me as well.

FNAF's lore is complicated but if we're basing it off the 3rd game then it wouldn't be that hard to put it together.

Okay, so a couple people are basing it off the third game? But what about those who don’t want it based off that one or disagree with the lore around it. There’s too much discourse around the story for it to work without people being unhappy with it.

When the lore has been fully established, and it’s correct, maybe ask for a FNAF chapter then, because I don’t think any dev team would want to deal with it until then.

Wow! So scary! I love it! BHVR please add this chapter, it will be a great addition. /j

That's respectable.

However the threads themselves are pretty harmless, and you can just move onto another thread or ignore it. We get these about 1-2 times a week, they're not that common.

I wouldn't say the majority of the player base don't want it. Tons of people don't even visit the forums, reddit, twitter, etc. Just ignore these types of threads if they bother you so much.

We really can't say. No way to back that up. Again, most people don't even visit the forums or other places.

100% agree with this tbh.

I played only one FNAF game so I'm not a fan but ######### is this mentality?

FNAF is horror. Plenty of people who aren't "kids" played it. It might not be horror up your alley but it's still horror.

What I find most funny is that people hate the idea of FNAF, but would love a Scooby Doo chapter. Lmao.

I don’t really think that throwing knives were the best route for him. I know that throwing knives are part of his story, but then his main weapon is a bat? Yeah, I like his dramatic bat twirl after hits, but I don’t think it was the best fit.

I would’ve liked them to make him a fast knife killer, since that plays into his backstory, and gave him a perk that built based on survivor screams, maybe also a siren-style perk where he used music to disorient/blind briefly. I also would have loved a stage that was his production studio and started out looking normal but just got more and more ######### up as you came across his victims that he used for his music.

Who's shutting you down? I'm addressing you, talking to you, the same way you're talking to me. What's the point of posting if you just expect people to never reply to one another, like we're all just shouting into the void? This is a forum, it's a place for communication.

Simple fact of the matter is that people don’t want FNaF, for various (both legitimate and not-so legitimate) reasons. And there’s also people that do want it.

As for the “spamming the forums” thing, I’m personally also getting tired of the ever returning Chucky, Xenomorph, Candyman and even Jason threads. The arguments in those threads aside, that comes across as a little hypocritical.

Does it change my mind regarding those licenses? No. I’m largely indifferent towards any license that’s not included already.

Also, the “it’s for kids” argument. Yes, it has a younger audience, but you’re not convincing me there’s no actual kids in DbD. The themes in FNaF aren’t exactly for kids anyway, are they? I can’t say I know why it caught the attention of a younger audience (myself in my teens included, I’m 21 now), but how exactly is a child murderer “for kids”?

As for Springtrap’s design specifically, yes it’s a tad weird and not exactly scary. But is Wraith scary? Is Huntress? Hell, Nemesis, even? Intimidating, sure, but scary?

How is the consistent use of the uncanny valley effect of supposed child friendly animatronics to create relentless hunters not at the very least vaguely unsettling? You could argue that we’ve become desentisised, and that’s fair. But, then, nothing truly is scary anymore, so the whole “it’s not scary” thing is moot.

They also don’t have to use FNaF as their way into an animatronic killer. But, if they ever did an animatronic-esque killer that is not FNaF related, the outcry would be even worse.
