FNAF is coming! What's y'all's ideas?

Everyone imagines the killer to be Springtrap, and so do I, but just imagine the legendary skins for the other animatronics, that'd be very dope.

What about the survivor, if we'll have one, anyway? The night guard, or someone else entirely? And the map? I'd like the original FNAF 1 pizzeria.

    Personally Id like Fazbear's Fright (or whatever the place is called in the 3rd game) and for Springtrap to have all the shadow animatronics which all have different abilities.

    I think itd be interesting if they could some how incorporate the cameras for the Survivor side, no idea how theyd do it but theyre usually pretty creative when it comes to these sort of things.

    Make Freddy base skin. Everyone else as cosmetics. It's the only way.

    I would also like the original FNAF 1 pizzeria as a map. I think, since Freddy Fazbear's has no exact location, that the map could be made a part of the Shattered Isle realm, designed in a style similar to Greenville Square, but ideally smaller. The Pizzeria could be the central location of the map that takes up a lot of space, while leaving some area outside for parking lots and parks so that not everything is packed together inside the building, because there's only so big they can make the Pizzeria. So you'd have all the classic areas like the dining area, kitchen, storage, security room, etc. Maybe even include the spooky easter eggs the original game had, like the posters turning into creepy children's drawings.

    For the killer, it is very likely William Afton as Springtrap, though whether it'll be living Afton or zombie robot Afton, I'm not sure. I have no idea what his power would be but he'll probably be an M1 killer.

    For the survivor, they have options. They could use Michael Afton, pre- or post-zombie. They could use one of the security guards from the original games. They could use Vanessa from Security Breach. I think most people will want to play as a Freddy Fazbear's security guard because that's the most popular and iconic thing.

    The new Into the Pit Bonnie would make a pretty solid skin for Springtrap, since a classic Spring Bonnie skin might not work with his power (depending on how robot he is).

    If we do end up with a survivor, I can't imagine it'll be anyone but Mike (with or without Josh Hutcherson's likeness), as he's by far the oldest and most long lasting protagonist the series has. I hear Vanessa thrown around a lot, but it's pretty telling that her entire role in the movie was basically giving her half of Mike's game arc. Give him a goofy night guard outfit and his game or movie voice, I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

    As for a map, this is a weird idea, but I always thought it'd be cool if it was based off of the original Freddy's location opened in 1983, where the unwithered animatronics and the puppet coexisted, and most critically, where the kids originally got stuffed and where Charlie was murdered. Functionally speaking, it's the FNAF 1 pizzeria with more areas and lore.

    Regardless, even if this ends up just being Springtrap on his own, I'll probably be satisfied just seeing Afton in the DBD art.

    i just hope Springtrap will be the killer and not Freddy himself or something, Springtrap's design is so creepy and i actually think hes a perfect fit for dbd!!

    also maybe it's silly, but im really hoping we'll eventually get Dreadbear as a halloween cosmetic...i know there's so many other popular characters to choose for cosmetics, i just think it'd be so cool to see him in another game :D

    Springtrap's killer name must be "The Attraction" or we riot!

    Also, Charlotte "Charlie" Emily, daughter of Afton's business partner Henry Emily and protagonist of the FNAF novel trilogy, should be the survivor. She was Afton's first murder victim, and while her human design is exclusive to the novels, she's in the games. Her spirt inhabits the Puppet animatronic, and she's integral to Afton's defeat in both continuities.

    Would be really nice if Springtrap's power had phantoms in them and his gameplay would involve managing some kind of a system similar to repair tablet in Fnaf3 and gameplay-wise close to pinhead box, but more individualized. If left unattended - Springtrap's power makes the survivor more vulnerable to phantoms attack and that, just like in games, would make it easier for the killer to close in and attack.

    The main power should probably be something more basic. I'd like if it was a combo of singularity's overclock and sadako's pseudo-invisibility - you can traverse the map in a stealth mode and upon exiting it, you receive a powerful chase buff.

    Here's what i'm expecting from the chapter.

    Springtrap is gonna be the main killer, while the other animatronics is gonna be skins.

    Springtrap's Killer title is going to be one of the following, although my money is on number 3.

    1. The Animatronic
    2. The Attraction
    3. The Mascot
    4. The Springtrap
    5. The Spring Bonnie

    Survivor is 50/50, although if we get one, it's most likely gonna be Michael as he seems to be the most recurring protagonist from the game series, not to mention that we know what he sounds and looks like.

    Map is 50/50, although if we get one, it's probably going to be an indoor map that's an amalgamation of the different restaurants seen throughout the main game series.

    Springtrap's perks is gonna have something to do with Generators and The Undetectable Status Effect.

    BHVR is gonna try and incorporate the camera surveillance mechanic from the game into Springtrap's power in some way or form that the Survivor can use as a way to counter Springtrap, as well as incorporating the animatronic jumpscares from the fnaf games into Springtrap's mori or lobby animation.

    I say don't get hopes up for a full chapter. It's probably Springtrap, maybe a map, and some skins in a collection, because who the hell are you gonna have be the Survivor? The security guard? It's not based on the film according to the teaser images, it looks like it's based on the games.

    Expect disappointment if you think we're getting a full chapter. It will at most be like Ringu was, except with Killer and Map, or at best be like Chucky was with just the Killer.

    The map if we get them is 100% either the Pizzeria but bigger/modified, or Fazbear's Frights. It may be the pizzeria from the second game. It 100% will be an indoor map and doing gens might turn on camera monitors in the main room as an easter egg. Stealth Killers and sneaky Survivors will have a riot in it. There will be jumpscare areas or implied areas where the anamatronics went rogue - for example partway through the round, Foxy's curtain may slowly open until ti revealsโ€ฆ nothing, only to have a broken Foxy animatronic spawn somewhere in the level that jumpscares you.

    Element I wanna see: There will be a ballpit that Hinders/Exhausts both Killer and Survivor to run through. This will be set up in a way that allows both Killer and Survivor to "trap" each other in this area as a fun thing so it can't be used as a shortcut. There will be a hook near this ballpit.

    Springtrap's power will likely involve surveillance, moving through a vent system like Xeno, and the perks will be about generators and info. I expect some kind of new generator control perk for Killer. I also suspect some kind of haste perk and an info perk surrounding gens. If the perks are not about gens they may instead be about stealth and haste, if Springtrap proper doesn't do stealth and haste via power. I doubt the phantasms will be there. It's possible there will be a return of the Madness mechanic using Phantasms as info like Doctor uses his zap and hallucinations.

    I don't think there are any other options for a killer from fnaf that isn't springtrap so I'm really hopeful, I read somewhere that it wont be any of the main animatronics as Scott doesn't want them portrayed as the antagonists. I just pray to god it isn't Vanny

    I hope Springtrap is the killer for FNAF chapter, the survivor could be one of the characters from the book maybe Charlotte Emily (Henry's daughter) , and the map maybe the Pizzaplex from FNAF Security Breach

    Has to be Springtrap, after FNAF: Security Breach made Freddy Fazbear your friend, helping you escape throughout the games; and the fact Freddy is inhabited by the child spirit of Evan, Afton's son, there is no way he can be the main antagonist.

    The only character that has any unquestionable murderous intent that may prove useful to the Entity is Springtrap...

    She's dead though, long before Afton became Springtrap.

    Unless you mean bring her as a survivor in one of her animatronic forms, when can the Entity interject to grab both of them?

    EDIT: Mind you, upon a further look, I don't know the novels at all... and it seems to throw everything out of whack ๐Ÿ˜ถ๐Ÿ˜ถ๐Ÿ˜ถ๐Ÿ˜ถ

    What I'm think.

    - SpringTrap as the killer with 1 or 2 cosmetics since his appearance always changes with each FNAF game or W/E. No idea what his power or weapon could be since he never seen using anything. Fire axe, kitchen knife, or claws? Phantoms as a power?

    • Cosmetics for each Legion member. Simple hoodie with a FNAF mask and each with their own weapon. Freddy mask with a blade tied to a ๐ŸŽค. Bonnie with broken ๐ŸŽธ peice, Chica with a ๐Ÿ• cutter, foxy with his โ˜  hook.
    • Or a legendary Vanny outfit the female rabbit for one of the 2 Legion girls.
    • For survivor there only 3 they can pick from. Either an adult version of one of the 2 kids from security breach or Vennesa the security chick.
    • FNAF map has to be a split indoor/outdoor hybrid like Xeno or DnD map since the pizza plex is to small to be a map of its own unless it's the Security Breach version.

    As a survivor they could add Mike Afton, but idk.

    And I don't see a reason why Vanny shouldn't be a Springtrap legendary.

    Agree about the map, I expect something like the Nostromo in terms of indoor/outdoor amounts of space

  • BlackRabies
    BlackRabies Member Posts: 943

    The 2 kids and Vanessa are the only 3 humans to ever been properly shown in FNAF. All the others I know of have only been seen as pixels or never seen. Can't really build a character from just pixels.

    Vanny and SpringTrap are 2 very different characters and back grounds. SpringTrap being a killer and an undead entity trapped inside of his own animatronic while Vanny still a living person that's being controlled against her will by a virus of sorts.

    Also a legendary skin for the Dredge based on Endo. Not the Sister Location version, but the other that's looks more like an messed up abomination with Fun Time Freddy ruined head.

    Without going into spoiler territory, the books are a separate continuity with a few key differences and a lot of similarities. They weren't the greatest imo, but Charlie was actually a pretty cool protag when she wasn't being sidelined by the plot.

    I don't think that's the route the devs will go given the books are the least popular version of the story, but I could see it.

    BHVR could just make a new original design representing Mike Schmidt or Henry Emily or any other human character in FNAF. It's not the first time they've taken creative liberties for a new chapter, Yoichi Asakawa's design was created by BHVR for the Sadako chapter because the character was just a child in the movies so they aged him up and wrote him an original backstory. They could easily do the same for FNAF, I'm sure it'd be easy to get Scott Cawthon to sign off on whatever they'd want to do to make the chapter work.

    At the very least, they absolutely must give Dwight a security guard outfit.

    I think Springtrap as the killer is undebatable. I think for maps, I'd personally try to glue the FNaF 1 location to FNaF 3's Fazbear's Fright, to get the two most important locations to Springtrap himself(The location from his game, and the location that has the safe room he died in) in the game while not having to deal with either map being too small on its own.

    The survivor question, to me, comes down to Michael Afton or Vanessa. My money is on Vanessa but I think Mike would be more interestingโ€”It's not unheard of for DbD to make their own designs for a character as seen with the adult Yoichi Asakawa, so I can see BHVR taking what we have for Mike and running with it. Wouldn't it be cool to have a survivor who is, like, literally a shambling corpse?

    I think the only thing I'm really puzzled on is Springtrap's power. Knowing how safe BHVR is with licensed powers, he'll probably have vents and a stealth mode. Ideally he would use the phantoms from 3, achieving FNaF's feel of juggling thirteen animatronics with their own rules, while also representing how William's victims are restless and forced into violence. I could maybe see suits used as special hooks, which maybe would turn into AI enemies while survivors are in them, but I can't see that happening.
