Was Security Breach really That bad?

I hope kids are just burned out by the deluge of mascot horror.

On the brightside- even if it fails, fnaf already had its win for the year by adding Springtrap to DBD.

Is it another VR title? I stopped paying attention when they started doing this

wdym? It seems to be doing very well, and it hasn't even released in full yet.
>>712492384
It's a normal game with a vr mode coming later

From the YouTuber preview of the first hour of it, it actually seems like a decent one, great even by the mascot horror streamerbait standards. A bit too much talking where you just have to stand and listen, but otherwise should be one of the better games. Has a great looking chase sequence at the very least.

>>712490874
The genre has totally collapsed in terms of new games and relevance, because it couldn't compete with brainrot for children's attention.

Remember, the main export of the niche is marketable characters. When Italian TikTokers can churn out a dozen of those every day using AI, there is nothing that can be done.

I miss when it was just about haunted Animatronics at a Haunted Pizzaria. Excessive story and "lore" ruins horror.

>>712493882
No you don't.

>>712490597 (OP)
Security Breach had a unique setup in the genre (semi-open world, friendly monsters) but Secret of the Mimic looks like a worse, soulless Poppy Playtime with it being nothing but scripted chase sequences with a braindead lumbering monster. I don't know what they're thinking.

>>712490597 (OP)
Hype died when Game Theory died. No one cares about FNAF, they care about schizo lore dumps that change who the purple guy is every three months.

>>712493919
Yes I do. Fuck you.

>>712490597 (OP)
That youtuber's fursona ain't that bad.
Would in a pinch

>>712494056
>Defending SB
On paper it had a unique setup but you can't argue that it was executed well in the slightest.
>worse, soulless Poppy Playtime
Stupid opinion. There was significantly more love and effort put into this then that NFT scam.

>>712490597 (OP)
Because it’s about a villain mainly introduced in the books, that and they’ve done a horrible job at marketing this compared to even security breach

>>712492252
This is a pretty good year all around with the second movie arriving in December

>>712493724
As an old fuck, I just don’t understand why all these shitty memes like skibidi toilet and the Italian AI characters are becoming these huge merch sellers.
Dumb memes have always been on the Internet, but it wasn’t like the most sold toys in a year were Badger Badger Badger plushies or All Your Base action figures.

>>712494643
This is immense cope from a retarded FNAF fanboy. Security Breach was successful and Poppy Playtime is by far the leader in in the Mascot Horror genre right now. Meanwhile Secret of the Mimic is has shown nothing but unphotogenic designs in scripted chase sequences in barren empty hallways. It looks like a fucking mess. You can't tell me one single thing that this game is supposed to do better than any other game in the genre other than reference the bad FNAF books

>>712490597 (OP)
I thought Security Breach was pretty bad. Ruin was real good. Help Wanted 2 looked alright.
I only have PS4 and an underpowered PC, so I am filtered from playing the new games going forward unfortunately. I would play Secret of the Mimic otherwise. I'll have to watch someone else play it instead.

>>712495695
It's because over the 2010s you saw the creation of the ipad kid. Kids will buy merch of anything if they're exposed to it at a young enough age, before that meant traditional cartoons or simple video games, but with kids moving to Youtube it exposed them to all the wacky stuff there, thus they wanted toys and merch of that too.

>>712493882
The first game already had a bunch of lore hidden away. Mysteries like Golden Freddy and the Bite of '87 planted the seeds for this. The biggest thing was just keeping it 'grounded', but Scott now just uses Fnaf as his seal of quality that he slaps on his projects to guarantee they get attention.

>>712490597 (OP)
Felt like the end of an era when the theory guy retired.
Mark will probably keep playing these out of obligation and because they make him money.

>>712490597 (OP)
you know what to expect now. No answers and piling on more questions.

>>712498917
You're talking about the stuff that details the murders and the pizzaria shutting down. Not even remotely the same as huge corporate conspiracies creating evil AI's and researching Ghosts as a big plan to become immortal and shit.

>>712494427
What

Legitimately, what would you do if you were in charge of this series

>>712500996
Either a Clickteam game taking place in Fredbear's Family Diner or a remake of Fnaf 1 with hints to story and characters from 2 and 3.

Why did he do it?

>>712501509
Serious answer seems to be that he needed something to entertain his son

>>712500996
Drop official sequels entirely and put an official spotlight on fangames to encourage cool and original takes on the story/gameplay. There's some real fucking potential in there but the creators are too easy to fall into existing conventions. Picrel is an interesting premise of "The animatronics are actually daemons and you basically got hired to be their next month's worth of meals" but it shits itself with ugly ass analog """horror""" aesthetics.

>>712501696

Do fnaf fans realize the animatronic resturant business survived past the 90s?

>>712492252
Too bad the DbD community ain't ready for Freddy

>>712493882
Shut the fuck up. FNAF is better than it's ever been.

will this one also have a woman in a bunny suit hunting down a 10 year old boy?
if not, I don't care

>>712501696
Graveyard Shift looks very edgy judging by the gameplay videos I've seen. Also, the camera system is an absolute ass in that game.

>>712502042
Vanny was wasted potential, she barely even ever hunted you

>>712501920
I really hope roxy didn’t die at the end of ruin

>>712502308
I only ever jerked off to the pairing, I've never played any of these baby games

>>712500996
Have Steel Wool make a Help Wanted 3 that is closer to HW1 and Dreadbear.
Make a new Clickteam set in an older location close to the Scott games.
Make a new FNAF World game.
I had an idea of a game where you repair and maintain animatronics that come in from various FNAF locations. You would repair and maintain them like the HW1 games. You'd have to meet a quota for the night, meaning you have to be effecient in your repairs while the clock is ticking. The better you do and get caught up on work, you get rewarded with being sent wierder animatronics that have been sitting in the factory for awhile. This means you get rewarded with lore and weird animatronics the better you do. Also at least one of the animatronics escapes and you have to keep it at bay during the repair sessions. Each animatronic has an error list of what needs fixing, and you have a manual on how to troubleshoot or repair it. Then sometimes you get old ones without a manual or have issues you have to figure out in the moment. Have it be mostly random so replaying it keeps things interesting.

>>712502513
>Have Steel Wool make a Help Wanted 3 that is closer to HW1 and Dreadbear.
What do you mean by that

>>712502402
Me too anon..me too.

>>712502619
>On Melancholy Hill by Gorillaz starts playing

>>712502402
Same. She is a really interesting character, and it would be a tragic waste if she went out like that. She’s popular though, so hopefully she’ll be saved.

>>712502554
HW2 was cool but I think the OC stuff in HW1 and Dreadbear was more interesting and fun than HW2 OC stuff. The Dreadbear stuff was especially fun, except for the Plush Baby 2.0 game.

>>712501696
>Jumpscare/game over sequence is a ten-second window of constant noise and lights that guarantee you a migraine

GSAF pisses me off so much but it's my own fault for expecting zoomers to know dogshit when they see it.

>>712502961
Fair, there was a certain charm lacking compared hw1 and the lack of dlc definitely hurt it

>>712503083
Pretty sure most zoomers hate it because the creator of the fangame got cancelled

I don't get it. Why not just clock in for the night shift and then leave? Head back to the restaurant a tiny bit after 6 AM to show your boss that you were there.

>>712503234
The animatronics would probably just kill you on your way out

>>712501696
So what’s your favorite fangame

>>712503108
Yeah I think DLC for HW2 could have been great. I would have liked to see more FFPS content too. Maybe something like a minigame like Parts and Service for the Mediocre Melodies (with Mr. Hippo's being the hardest because he constantly talks over the audio prompts for the repair steps).

>>712499992
He’s a politician now

>>712503727
I was hoping for another holiday dlc, personally

>>712504024
Christmas themed DLC could be cool

>>712490597 (OP)
Literally everything after Sister Location is a load of stupid horseshit.

>>712504276
Why sister location in particular

I hope the game after this doesn’t take too long to come out because I really wanna find out what happens after ruin

>>712504156
I wonder what they could do for christmas dlc, maybe something involving special delivery?

>>712504317
It was the last game that wasnt a load of stupid horseshit.

>>712503083
>>Gay ass camera mechanics that punish you for trying to keep an eye on things (a major point of the original games), turning that into instakilling you with the snake later on
Don't forget you also have to keep an eye on the cupcake. The camera system in GSAF is so retarded it makes me wonder why the hell the creator thought it was a good idea while having two characters that absolutely require you to see them on camera.

>>712490597 (OP)
I haven't touched a FNAF game since 4 and I'm gonna try it out.

>>712504785
And why is that

>>712503757
>It's fucking real

>>712504835
I’d say be prepared to be confused but I honestly don’t see anything in this game so far that requires knowledge of the lore past 1-4

>>712504865
Because its good and the games that follow are bad

>>712501696
They’re already doing half of that with the fanverse

>>712494242
wut movie?

>>712505380
>Sister Location
>Good

>>712505430
Being more a more linear story game to focus on lore didn't make it bad, plus it did get the fnaf office update.

>>712505551
I wish security breach got a mode like that

>>712505640
They only finished like 60% of the game itself, they would never have gotten it to work.

>>712505864
What about ruin

>>712490597 (OP)
The marketing for this game was near nonexistent up until a few months ago. I guess they were banking on the sloptubers to pull the word of mouth, but if you aren't 7 years old or extremely autistic like me , you'd have no recollection of this game even existing.

>>712505885
What do you mean?

>>712505991
That was a whole new campaign they added

>>712506056
Yeah? They still didn't go back and finish the first game, nor did Ruin make any sense itself.

>>712501696

Fnaf game devs are the only thing more dangerous than the purple man.

>>712506215
The flumpty’s dev is the funniest case of this because his cancellation happened a day after he released ONAF 3

>>712504931
>From giving the pope undertale to politician that (at least at a base level) understands the internet.
Good for him.

>>712506372
Quick run down, the only thing I know about flumpty's is that they are decent shitpost FNAF fan games.

>>712506462
Johnochrome got into the fanverse to make ONAF 3 after he had been away from FNAF for a while only to immediately get outed as a groomer the day after he released it

>>712506462
The dev was chattng up a middle school girl and had made the plan to marry her when she turned 18. This was leaked like a week after Flumpty 3 came out and he was immediately kicked out of the fanverse thingamabob

>>712506462
He was e-dating a girl since she was 14 and he was in his 20's or something like that.

>>712506786

Fucking kek, nonces and fanworks always seems to go hand in hand.

Should've ended at 6

>>712503498
nta but i really wish they didnt axe plus.
maybe it was just the trailers that were good and the game wouldve been ass, but i agree with phil on the fact that the series went down the wrong path by appealing to children. definitely made more money, but i always wished theyd return to something more akin to the first game.

>>712507027
I get the feelng scott is realizing the problem with appealing only to kids since now he’s doing a dbd collab

>>712507130
Isn't Scott completely separated from fnaf now?

>>712507221
Nope

>>712507254
Damn, I forgot he wrote/is writing both movies.

>>712507221
Hardly. He had final say on all aspects of the Dead by Daylight collab, and is still overseeing the new games.

>>712508004
Yeah it was just making games himself that he stopped doing, nice of him to keep an eye on things as he rakes in the cash.

>>712501813
Did it though? Did it really?

>>712508438
Yeah, I have tons of nostalgia from the 2000s about chuck e cheese

>>712506215
>one is >>712506936
>another is part of a group gathering personal info. on you for malicious intention
>another drags their feet for years and gets angry about everything, thinks they are better than Scott, etc., eventually leading to canceling their own game
I think there was a problem with another dev too.

>>712506936
What's the problem here

>>712495695
The guy who made the badger song didn't and likely still doesn't have the money to contract a toy company to make merch for him, and the execs were too out of touch to even know about him, nevermind consider him a viable brand. I can't say specifically that the badger song guy would have produced merch if the oppertunity presented itself, but surely plenty of the hits from that era would have.

>>712504931
Scorch this godless earth until nothing but ash remains

>>712490597 (OP)
Badly optimized. Scott did not appreciate that having his games laser focused on goals and no feature creep. Getting a development team made it grow in scale and release in a state full of bugs.

Also covid happened and fucked up their development schedule and capacity.

>>712504931
>There is a timeline where the youtube guy who measured Luigi's cock length (flaccid and erect btw) could actually become president of the fucking united states
I don't even know what level of clown world we're on anymore, but it would be so funny if this actually happened

>>712509697
Post-Shift 2's gameplay is horrible, but in retrospect those convoluted game mechanics are so awful it loops into being funny

>>712495721
The lore could not be completely retarded, that would be an improvement. Also the graphics were not as good as SB although neither were really aiming to be spectacular.

>>712495695
I'd buy a CATS figure.

I can't imagine playing FNAF games that are not made by Cawthon. That promo game he made for the movie is unironically better than shit that this studio is sharting out

>>712495695
I have no idea. I think a key thing is that they toy market is so strained in the last decade that it's not the issue of seemingly random shit getting toys, it's that these toys sell at least to some degree. Selling something in small runs is better than putting out huge runs of heman or star wars toys that absolutely do not sell at all.

>>712494238
Purple Guy has been the same silly guy for the last half decade althoughbeit

roxy chads, we're gonna make it

Why does this happen every time? Just make Micheal Afton the bad guy. Nobody cares about this "mimic" character.

this game should end like MK Shaolin Monks with Will picking up The Mimic's circuit

my name is edwin

SB was only good for Roxy/Vanessa X Gregory P0RN!

>>712502402
>>712502909
If they go for the elevator route there's a great chance the Mimic left both her and Cassie to die and now they'll be wandering whatever the fuck lies in the underground. Chances though are that they will stumple upon Tangle who is seen watching Cassie early in Ruin... I feel like the twist here is that they will use the scooper ending with the Mimic endo killed but his program still alive in another branch. Maybe can use the Mimic's corpse to fix Roxy idk

>>712511886
Wild to think ever since SB there hasn't been a game from them without her in it even as a cameo here in Sotm. I think I can understand given the impact she left after Ruin and also to expand on her origins but damn. I think it's also understandable they will keep Freddy and Roxy around given the Glamrocks themselves (save for Monty maybe) are genuinely good animatronics whose personalities were exaggerated thanks to the Mimic1 program.

>>712504931
Seems like a good idea, I support it.

>>712511886
She'll probably be just like Foxy in Security Breach. Mentioned in the in-universe merch, but not present.

>>712494427
