While I appreciate the idea of putting it into a three-dimensional game, the actual in-game footage shown here looks absolutely terrible. Sure, video compression is at play too, but it still looks like one of those 2011-ish indie games running Unreal 2 or 3.

The vent especially looks incredibly flat and drawn-on.
If I had a franchise that recieved even half as much love as FNAF I wouldn't be giving up on it any time soon.

I've seen worse single-dev games.
Over designing and polishing the monster models is exactly the opposite of what made the first game creepy
The fact that all of them looked like garbage in 1 is what made it work, none of the sequels have even gotten close because he's trying too hard to make them scary
The fact that the first game looked so mediocre is part of what made it actually scary. FNAF 1's art design was like what you would get if you took one of those really ugly PS1-era cutscenes and turned it into a horror game, and it worked pretty dang well, I think.
I honestly think I might be a little bummed if he made this one look good to a modern standard, at least since nobody else seems to be trying anything similar.
Looks less immediately dismissible than the the previous 3 games he released.
I might keep an eye on it. I would like to see Scott actually do something interesting with the franchise, but I won't hold my breath.

Five Nights in Space
You're the security guard at an experimental Freddy Fazbear's located somewhere inside a derelict spaceship.
So when does Markiplier pretend to be scared?
I always digged the lore of this game, just not the gameplay. Maybe this will fix the lore that scott fucked up in the previous game.
Hey guys, look at me calling Five Nights at Freddy's trash!

this post is even more useless than the type of post it's meant to be criticizing
DAMN! The animation is looking great. Good job Scott! The ballerina is definitely my favorite so far. I probably won't play though, I'm too much of a pussy :v:

because now they have their own forums or subforums to talk about it and they know where to find them. They no longer have to go looking for other people like them because now they know where they are. Same thing happened with furries. They didn't die out, they're just out of sight now

you would probably do the same if you had a game idea that prints money[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Aphtonites;50364098][I][ insert generic smartass "good for him" comment that claims that everyone would totally just milk the same franchise over and over again until the fans are frothing at the mouth and having seizures here ][/I][/QUOTE][/QUOTE]
I get that you're getting really fucking tired of the franchise being milked and shoved in your face as well as the usual "You would milk your franchise too" defense, but I feel like there would be better and more airtight ways to prove that defense wrong than just quoting a post that merely imitates a common defense (and doesn't do much else) and treating that quoted post like it's equivalent to the Bible, especially when you consider that the other side could just as easily do something similar to that.
Look, i understand the milky cash grabby nature of the franchise (putting aside the done to death "the community is trash" post) but with freeroam?
I'd like to see where this goes at the very least because the aesthetics work, really hope he makes it a much much longer and polished title.
Honestly the bashing Scott gets for his games is really undeserved. These never claimed to be anything more than what they actually are tbh. Scott saw they were successful and I don't think it's ridiculous that he fell in love with his own ideas. The fact that these games are so well received probably just means that he's allowed to explore more ideas and have more fun with it. Sure the gameplay hasn't been changed to much, but at the very least he's tried to innovate o n his own formula in each iteration, while simultaneously keeping up with his design quality. The animatronics have ALWAYS been high fidelity, only getting higher.
The only thing I can say is that his game-making hasn't evolved with the expectations of fans. Naturally everyone expects to see something bigger and bigger each time, but Scott has simply always made games in Clickteam Fusion. You can only do so much in those engines, and it's good enough for a lot of the fanbase.
I like the models. They look spooky.
You can talk all about the franchise being overplayed as shit, but holy fuck the FACES
Something tells me those faces are going to open up into horrifying demon mouths during the jumpscare scenes. That's pretty metal.
Say what you want but those animations are certainly a step up.

[QUOTE=J!NX;50365352]So when does Markiplier pretend to be scared?[/QUOTE]
Even PewDiePie got sick of this around 4 i think? When he played for 2 minutes and quit when he realized the game play like the others.
I'm still mildly interested because it's something I'm mildly interested in from a horror aspect. Can't recommend the series to a whole lot of people.
I'm tired of the people posting dislike more than I am the games themselves. Like yeah, we'll see the game come out and every youtube letsplayer and their dog's make a series on it and it'll be remarkably similar, but its not like Scott is releasing these things with day one map pack DLCs and pre-order bonuses and furniture expansion packs like we've seen so many times now.
And at the end of the day they're fun cheap little games. They aren't doing any harm. [sp]save for the weird furry porn stuff[/sp]

Artistic integrity doesn't hold much weight when your income benefits from, and maybe even relies on, stuff like this. Especially if you genuinely enjoy making it, which Scott obviously does.
you also have to consider that small, achievable projects with fast turnover are the ideal for someone making games on their own. Maybe he could've tried some new IP's, but I'm not going to blame him for avoiding the risk after his other projects failed.
At the same time, I'd like to think that he now has some pretty giant namesake recognition now - if he were to try a new IP, I'd wager to say that there's a lot of people who would give it a go if they liked FNaF.

it's still remarkable considering he still does this all by himself. It's a labor of love, it just so happens that the thing he loves making also earns him a shit ton of cash and merch, movie, book deals. He got successful doing what he loved, trash fanbase and ok-tier games aside. If he didn't want to do it he'd sell the franchise or license it out
I'm really hoping he gets into making the third game of the Desolate X series
I don't follow any of this fnaf nonsense because I don't like the games, but I thought that last one that came out was supposed to be, well, the last one.
FNAF lost its luster after the 3rd one tbh. I feel Scott has the potential to make some really interesting games, but only makes more FNAF because he knows people are gonna buy it. If that's the case then he's playing it smart if he knows it's gonna land him more money, I just hope it doesn't end up backfiring on him. He's a good guy, I just wish he'd make new original content.

You hit the nail on the head pretty well here. But sadly it's easier to just hate on things then it is to understand them.
Looks interesting. I look forward to seeing what lore it brings.
with every game after 2 I got more and more disappointed with Scott, mostly because I wanted more of the shitty restaurant, not more generic horror. he got so caught up in telling his spooky ghost murder story than he did with the thing that everyone related to; crappy animatronic pizza mascots. clearly we'll never have something as polished as the original was, what made people fall in love with the series in the first place. the atmosphere, the simplicity, the fact that it was almost believable. none of us have ever worked at a haunted house based on a pizza joint and certainly none of us have had robot rabbits roaming our halls
that being said, this is back at a restaurant, which is a good sign. maybe he's finally learned his lesson somewhat and is trying to go back to basics? the trailer hinted for voice acting for the robots, that might be neat and creepy. it'll be better than 4 at least.
and seriously, I don't know why everyone's acting like fnaf is all over the place all the time. besides the first few months, if you want to see fnaf stuff you have to look for it, nobody is really talking about it anymore.
