And like with the movie, Scott is directly involved so it will be made for those who love the franchise.

FNAF is the first property in this game I know before playing. Im 23 but never played one of the games or watched the movies of the licenses. Wasn’t a fan of movies and the video games I did play were more gta, open worlds and shooters not puzzle solving survival horror. It is only recent I played RE and watched some of the movies that are in this game but I still haven’t on a lot. I play bubba alot but I never seen any of the movies. FNAF has been here since I was in 6 th or 7th grade so super excited about this chapter. Wasn’t too excited for DND castlevania or Tokyo ghoul but that doesn’t matter knowing FNAF is coming.

Most likely, yes.

I am sure that will go well, especially considering the brigading done here when the Hellraiser teaser wasn't FNAF. Can only imagine what could happen if people are disappointed by the adaptation if they freaked out over a teaser trailer not being what they wanted.

I have never been a FNAF super fan; in fact, quite the opposite. How ever I've recently been thinking back and appreciating the dirty sort of grime-centric theme of the first couple of games. Hopefully that's the feel they're going for and I expect it is because while we do have some super stand out colorful characters like trickster for example. I believe that in order to do the fnaf chapter true justice BHVr and co should def go with the darker edgier look from the first 3-4 games. I have my reservations for the killer more than likely being Springtrap as opposed to Freddy or even a conglomerate of the main 4 original animatronics (kind of like legion, wouldn't that be so cool?)… But alas beggars cannot be choosers. Here's to hoping BHVr does more than meet our expectations! Either way this SHOULD be really good for the game and it's future.

A Foxy skin for Blight would be fitting.

I found FNAF really boring when I played it and I have absolutely no idea how it’s going to work as a chapter in DBD.

Couldn't care less about FNAF, but I'll hope the chapter ends up being good. If it is here, it may as well be good. More interested in whatever is coming next.

If it really is going to be Springtrap as majority of people want, then i don't see how we're going to get some brand new never before seen mechanics, given that we already have a camera system in the form of Singularity's Biopods, Ventilation system in the form of Xeno's tunnels, AI Phantom Animatronics in the form of Knight's guards.

Unless they take liberties like they did with Pyramid Head, i legit cannot see what brand new never before seen mechanic bhvr can bring to a fnaf crossover that hasn't already been previous done in some shape or form.

I never played any of the FNAF games, but I've watched Markiplier play through them all and I've watched most of the lore videos. Not a fan of the games, but am a big fan of the story and characters.

Know how protective Scott is of FNAF I highly doubt we'll see any of the original animatronics as playable characters or cosmetics. Scott probably one of the few people that sees them as confused murdered children, not robots and make sense why he doesn't want to see them in any games. SpringTrap maybe being the only exception since he's the only adult and is a killer that caused everything.

Could be FNAF themed cosmetis, but highly doubt it'll be the characters themselves. Maybe something like scrap baby or that twisted abomination w/e it's called for Dredge could be an option?

Im pumped for YouTube to explode over it and the downpour of new players. I hope it's handled maturely, like the early days of fnaf when the series did not feel kid-friendly

It'll be like any other major release; people will flood in, you'll see a lot of the killer (too much, most likely), the novelty will wear off (and some will be disappointed) and within a few months we'll be right back where we started. The initial numbers spike might be bigger than most (probably right up there with the first RE chapter), but the lifecycle is always the same.

I doubt we see anything transformative. I feel like the best thing FNAF is doing for DBD is that the prospective flood of new players has ostensibly spurred BHVR to address game health as a whole so all the noobs don't immediately flee when they realize what this game actually is, lol.

As for the IP itself, I kinda hate it (no, I really hate it) and wish it were something else, but I don't want it to flop because I want what's best for the game. But it is a divisive property.

Personally I'm more excited for Kaneki and whatever follows FNAF than FNAF.

I feel the Doomposting around this chapter specifically is coming from people who are already salty FNAF is being added and want a reason to think it's going to go poorly.

We get years long fan requests added constantly, from RE to Alien to Chucky to Dracula, people have found a reason to be hyped or disappointed by anyone being added, with execution actually seeming to matter the most. Sure, there will be people who hate no matter what, but I certainly didn't see anyone pinning Alien as a flop because of fan expectations, it was almost all based around legitimate complaints in design.

Yes, there's definitely a chance the devs mess up the power like Xeno and the killer becomes extremely unpopular, but I don't see much of a reason to assume that before we've even seen it. Even a controversial killer like Nemesis still has a lot of fans. I have faith we'll get something good from Springtrap, especially since he doesn't fall into regular killer pitfalls like 'dash ability.'

I think the Marionette could work pretty well as a legendary or just an inspired skin for Nurse, and I feel like Vanny makes a lot of sense for Legion as well.

I was there during almost all of this drama from the initial FNAF controversy to Pinhead. I have the unique perspective of being a lifetime fan of both franchises since launch, so admittedly I did already know all of the things in this comment, though I understand why you would assume otherwise based on my original statement.

I've spoken on this in previous topics, but I fully understand the stance and reasoning against the Creator of FNAF, and even agree with it for the most. Many of his donations are ones I found deeply unsettling then and still have a sour taste on now. Its just as a FNAF fan who's LGBTQ, it's difficult to see people who were utterly fine accepting any controversial figure in DBD because it was a licence they liked, only to turn on FNAF like it's literal evil to support. Not accusing you or anyone you mentioned of this, it's just so draining hopping on X and seeing a bunch of grown adults say 'supporting FNAF isn't the stance of someone who supports human rights' as they beg BHVR for another Stranger Things chapter as if that company doesn't have a mountain of malformed skeletons in their closet.

I guess it just boils down to people forcing their morals on others without being willing to subject themselves to the same level of scrutiny. From that lens, I shouldn't have been so generalist and judgemental in my original comment, it's just difficult to give a good faith view to people who often aren't willing to give you one back, y'know?

I wonder if they’re ever going to make another evil within because I thoroughly enjoyed the two they put out. Also in general just loved the Claire de lune theme for the mirrors rooms.

I mean, you can read the above reply to Ryuhi where I specifically mentioned I wasn't referring to him or anyone else he mentioned, which in this context is literally just you. I was complaining about X and a couple specific people on here who are now banned after our encounters, since FNAF doesn't tend to gets brought up more than twice a month here. Admittedly I haven't been very active on these forums for the past few months. It's what the 'Fnaf supporters don't support human rights' comment was about, as I have actually had someone find my email and spam me messages with that statement.
