So let’s talk the
Five Night’s at Freddy’s 4 Trailer
Well that’s not what I or indeed anyone was expecting. In
fact the trailer just brings more questions, however what can we pick up from
what we saw? I’ll discuss that today.
The first and obvious thing that’s different and unexpected
is the location. It’s a house. No one saw that coming so what exactly is going
on. The red text in the trailer at one point says “What did you bring home?”
however I doubt it’s as simple someone took some killer animatronics home with
them, so what exactly is going on here? It seems likely the protagonist of this
game will a child as it looks to be taking the scary monster under the bed and
in the closet approach.
In the trailer we see most of the known animatronics from
this game. Bonnie of course is there, he seems to be the focus of these things
since all the way back when we first saw the FNAF 1 trailer so it’s fitting we
see his jump scare. We get a glimpse of Chica and Foxy, we see this plush trap
thing on the chair in the hallway and mini Freddy’s on the bed. The trailer had
quite a creepy feel and ambience and while don’t actually see the puppet many
people are comparing the music we here near the start to him and even if they’re
unrelated we all know he’ll have a big role to play. So who’s noticeably missing?
Freddy of course. Sure we see the mini ones but where’s actual Freddy? What’s
being hidden from us here?
What does this trailer reveal about the gameplay part of the
game? Honestly it’s difficult to say, from the different camera angles we see
it looks like we may be able to move around the house. The issue is whether all
these clips are even from the game itself or whether there’s just strangely
placed cameras around the inside of a house (Although that one seems unlikely).
It appears that closing doors will be an important feature again and Bonnie and
Chica seem to come for you from different doors with Foxy in the closet in the
room you’re in. On top of that the mini Freddy’s seem to be on the bed behind
you which may be a reason for not simply closing both doors to the room and
crying in the corner until all the scary monsters go away. I certainly wouldn’t
want to lock myself in a room with Foxy.
As we all know these games often leave very carefully placed
things to get us thinking about the lore. These games are built on their lore
really so what do we find here. The scene in the trailer that stood out to me
personally was near the beginning. The camera pans across a room with some very
intriguing items. There’s a purple robot with a strange crank like object in
its hand, a phone with eyes and of course, a fan. Naturally parallels have been
drawn with the purple robot and purple man and wait, there’s a nearby phone,
OMG PURPLE GUY IS PHONE GUY CONFIRMED. Okay … maybe not, the interesting thing
for me is they both appear to be looking up at the closet. If the mechanics of
this game are similar to the other, the presence on the fan would suggest this
would be ‘the office’ of this game.
I think this purple robot could be why the purple man
appears as a purple man in the FNAF 2 and 3 mini games. The mini game are
supposedly just representations of the actual events in these games lore of
course. I assume from the layout and camera angles that we’ll be playing as a
child in this game (Although with the FNAF series you often cannot assume
anything) so how is this character relevant in the grand scheme of things.
Honestly, I have no idea how to piece all this together, we simply don’t have enough
information, however at a guess I would say this child must have had a bad
experience with a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria and may have even seen the purple
guy. Nightmare seems to be a prevalent theme with the teaser images so could
this game be a nightmare based on a person’s real fears of the restaurants.
This is all speculation of course, we don’t know where this
house is, who lives inside or when this game takes place in the timeline. It’ll
be interesting to see what answers we get and discovering what happened in
these games and maybe finally we’ll see whose theories were correct (Check out
my own in the links below). In the
meantime what did you think of the trailer, leave a comment below.
