Let's all admit that this was a great part of our childhood

>>713128947 (OP)
How old???
Real OGs remember

>>713129032
You joke but give it another 4 years, kids will look back on this fondly. They just want some kind of shared experience that makes them feel cool and mature.

Freddy Fazbear Eu eu eu eu eu eu eu eu eu eu

Only ancient elder gamers remember this true classic... like if this kept u up at nigth...

>>713129431
Holy f*ck I don't think even my dad remembers that one.

I still consider FNAF a cool series. Idk what it's doing with the recent games but 1-4 are solid in my book.

It's been 10 years since the first came out.

No I managed to avoid that garbage. I got the standard Nintendo and Transformers autism.

>>713128947 (OP)
10 when it came out, 21 now. Looking back on it fondly now, same with UT. Being around for the rise of LPers, theorists and other creators that got their starts with indies like these was a good time, my home life back then not being ideal helping with that especially.

>>713130776
1 aged like wine and is still worth playing. 2 and 3 are decent if you want more, every game afterwards can be ignored.

>>713130895
I'm not going to play it.

Scot did good job in securing future generations hopes.

Speak for yourself. The only reason I have any interest at all right now is because of the dbd collab

>>713128947 (OP)
Imagine if in 2004 someone made a post like this but for any game that was released in the 90s and the entire thread was just
>Only real oldfags remember *posts picture of Paper Mario*

I remember playing this in high school on my phone because I didn’t have a PC back then and becoming obsessed with it and spending hours at lunch break reading the wiki. Then the third game came out and by then I just stopped caring about the franchise

>>713131280
>Home consoles? That will never catch up, videogames are such a niche hobby that will stay in the arcades!

Even if I had been a kid and not an adult already when this came out, I probably would not have been interested.
I wasn't into creepypasta shit when I was a kid after all

>>713131408
>Dragon's Lair is the PEAK of gaming!

>>713131170
So why did Scott decide to change her beak / eyes when gets off stage, anyway? Did he just think her normal look wasn't creepy enough?

>>713131317
>Night 3 delayed again
Lmao

Fanverse status?

So, what IS the current lore anyway? Is there some endgoal? Is Afton dead dead? Did the Mimic take his place as franchise villain?

Are we going to have a FNAF where the robots are sentient?

Dayshift at Freddy's was the best thing to come out of FNAF

>>713132463
In hindsight, Scott should have just hired a couple fans who knew what they were doing (read: VHS) and collaborate on an official game

>>713132683
>Are we going to have a FNAF where the robots are sentient?
Already did, SB has nothing to do with souls and everything with super advanced AI.

>>713128947 (OP)
Zoomers out!

>>713133152
I should have been clear. I meant like Sentient *and* walking with people?

>>713130621
>missed the mascot horror craze
Ugh, if I'd made some assetflip slop that was somewhat functional, I'd be rich now. Ce la vie.

penumbra was better

>>713132683
>Is Afton dead dead?
Yes. Burntrap was a massive mistake born from miscommunication and retconned to just be M2 (the main Mimic). Afton is still very much dead, though he can still make a sort of soft-return through mimicry.
>Did the Mimic take his place as franchise villain?
Yes. Everything from Help Wanted and forward points toward the Mimic(s), like everything from 1-UCN pointed toward Afton. The Murrays are in, the Aftons are out (though the Mimics have been so thorougly corrupted by Afton's fuckery they might as well be Aftons).
>Are we going to have a FNAF where the robots are sentient?
The Glamrocks are completely sentient and both Mimics seem rather sentient albeit M2 behaves like a gigantic autist so his situation's a bit unclear.

>>713128947 (OP)
Probably the last decent indie game before ideological subversives began their takeover of the industry and hobby as a whole. Shame that even it sold out after the creator was found committing the awful crime of common sense...

>>713133463
>tfw roxxy is sentient enough to love you back

>Slender
Seminal classic, if very basic and extremely Seinfeld'd.
>Ao Oni
Silly, tense, unpredictable, and good puzzles... except the piano one, fuck you lol.
>FNaF 1-6 + UCN
Really great atmosphere, sound design, cool character designs (99% at least), and it was fun to follow along the story as it was happening, even if it was too phoned in.
>Baldi
Great shitpost game. Absolutely nails the 90s edutainment aesthetic, while also being both funny and tense at times.

These are the only good/cool "fad" horror games off the top of my head. Remind me of other actual good ones.
>>713133389
I mean... yeah, but that's kinda apples and oranges.
I assume you mean Overture?

>>713134404
I do like that we have had sentient robot characters, although I wish that Chica and Monty got more development and screen time.
Roxy was easily the Best[/spoiler ] of the new characters though, and oddly felt more human than the actual Security Breach/Ruin humans.

>>713134873
The only other ones I can think of would be the Little Nightmares series

>>713135012

The brown haired shota is taken by blonde security guard and they live together. I'm not even joking

>>713128947 (OP)
I was 14 when it came out. Though what made me have a heart attack is watching a video of a guy saying he was 7 when the first game came out and he's 18 in the video.

>>713134873
Most fad horror is just dogshit streamerbait.
I tried to play some of them recently and it's impressive any of these games held a spotlight for any amount of time.

>>713136238
>Hello Neighbor
I remember that game. It somehow got worse the further into development it went.

>>713129116
all according to plan
jews really were pioneers on this matter of generational grooming

>>713137146
They had a really impressive AI but it got lost in, what I assume, is someone really wanting a piece of that FNAF pie once that became super popular.

Also I swear with FNAF and Neighbor, they're really afraid to just say the bad guys were pedophiles. Strong I know, but if you wanted a better adult fear used of children being hurt, just imply THAT and you'll really have a dark horror game. Mostly because it's the most terrifying and disgusting thing I can imagine.

I've never played a fnaf game and I never will, but I'm really glad it exists because I've fapped to porn of the animatronics a fuckton.
Shoutouts to even springtrap who, despite being some horrible creature in game, managed to get turned into a super hot as fuck character in porn.

>>713137290
Anon I tripped on a stone and scrapped my knee today. When I looked up, I saw a Jew laughing behind a tree before riding away on a unicyle with communists midgets in tow on one of those multi-person bikes and a really fat one being led on a carriage by a team of roided up negros.

Make sense?

>>713134873
>slendertubbies
fuck now that i think about it i miss pre-fnaf horror. when all lets players were more obscure and played weird freaky games not available on steam

>>713137331
On that note: a John Wayne Gacy inspired game would be terrifying.

Being a slenderman fan is suffering.

>>713137491
I think the low-effort Unity horrorslop tide began before fnaf?

>>713129116
>>713130116

im 25. this game came out in middle school for me.

I hung out at lunch with a bunch of other losers and we made up fnaf stories while eating our microwaved pizza
I did a school project about the bite of 87 and the teacher called my mom because they thought i was going to try and bite someone
i once brought a screwdriver to school and the first person i showed it to shouted "HE'S GOT A GUN" and i got suspended for 2 weeks. This doesnt have anything to do with fnaf i just thought it was stupid.

>>713137290
>all according to plan
im pretty sure this was all an accident scott was clueless about till it was too late

>>713137670
It started after Amnesia The Dark Decent and PewDiePie became popular around turn of the 2010s. Then came Slender, and then FNAF came to define what a good indie horror game could be and on a shoestring budget more miserly than Slender.

>>713135257
I was 10

>>713137710
Why can't people just accept the idea of "we're making this crap up as we go along"?

>>713129978
it was one of the first games of its type to become popular online.

that kids a faggot

>>713137331
You should hear the tale of dormitabis. a fnaf fangame that came out after 4 and rewrote the whole fnaf story. Of note is the "main antagonist" preston garvey, who in one of the lore tapes is implied to have raped a kid before killing her.
the game was actually pretty decent and scared me a few times, but the dev got cancelled on twitter and bullied off the internet. a shitty "remaster" came out with none of the soul or scariness of the original.

>>713137790
Because that completely undermines the legitimacy of the series and thus, anything people might enjoy about the rest of the series.
"I just made it up to get more money" can totally ruin a lot of people's memories and genuine fun with Fnaf.

>>713137670
yea there were low quality horror games before fnaf but they had this weird air to them because they weren't usually made for lets players and were more obscure
they also weren't "cute thing thats actually scary" so at times it'd actually be something strange

>>713137934
I don't think it is a "I want more money" thing, Scott consistently said it's because he has a new idea he wanted to try out (Or in the case of 3 he wasn't satisfied with the gameplay).
It doesn't undermine the series by accepting he made shit up as he went along, it just means the was flying by the seat of his pants and the ride is the important part.

>>713137934
I wouldn't say made it all up for money, more made it all up because how else do you explain how messy the lore is.

>>713138073
Exactly. The only consequence is it's hard to follow everything going on or explaining everything.

Robotics in the 70s were arms in Car factories and cheap pizza animtronics (dirt cheap). The only finest robots you could find would be at Walt Disney.

>>713137540
few nights ago i had a dream where a tall clown was chasing me (kinda like this, more grimy)
he kept taunting me and saying that he was gonna kill me. i think at one point i shut a door on him and he looked at me through the glass laughing
people usually say that monsters and horror villains are scarier when they don't talk, but i was so scared maybe that's not always the case lol

>>713129978
Bro… u dotn understand… it’s aHORROR game ok? The bad gameplay the bad grafix add to the atmosphere cuz it frustrates you and thats scary amirite

>>713137341
LMAO this was me. Foxy made me a massive furfag and gooner. Being on adhd meds that gave you a high libido didn't even play these idk i was so into them LOL

>>713137341
Fucking beed to start drawing again and draw booba foxy getting raped.

I was 19 when the first game came out.
God, I keep forgetting this franchise is 10 years old.

>>713128947 (OP)
Funny some people hated the new game because "muh lore" and "not point and click anymore" whilst the animatronics looked very animatronics.

>>713132463
train wreck

>>713138835
You cant just say that and not share the animation anon

Roxy the best

>>713141089
Perfection.

>>713131317
I never got the appeal of any of the characters that weren't Frenni or Fexa. The rabbit looks down syndromeized, the chicken just looks like a yellow person, the puppet just looks like a monochrome person, and the golden bear jumpscares you

no, i grew up with rpgmaker horror games like ib and yume nikki

I was a junior in high school when the first one came out and even then it pretty popular among all the grades but more so with the freshmen

>>713137903
>but the dev got cancelled on twitter
the dev was an actual pedophile
which is why his pedophile murder fantasy game is weird

FNAF 1 is an actually good horror game
its grungy, atmospheric, the story is simple
FNAF 2 and onwards is like a parody of itself
everything is too clean, the robots are either too clean or too absurdly damaged to be taken seriously, and the story became youtuber bait

>>713143768
If that were a Concord character, people would have played the game.
