Gaming’s Scariest Story Finally Solved [ VIDEO ]
First off, if you haven’t seen The Game Theorists’ first Five Night at Freddy’s video, watch that first. Then come back and watch this video.
So my wife and I watched this video last night. We were both fine the theory presented in it, until minute mark 15:12. At that point they suggest that the Purple Guy is holding a phone. Unfortunately, I cannot give them that one. Hell, they might be right, but based off of the image provided there’s not enough details to interpolate what is missing.
The premise behind their hypothesis is that these are Atari 2600 graphics. Unfortunately, they are not. They are only inspired by graphical limitations of that era. As such, it’s up to the imagination of the viewer to fill in the blank areas. If it was using the Atari 2600’s resolution and sprite limitations (which it most definitely is not), it might look closer to the image below. Which to me looks more like he’s holding a knife than a phone. But then again, that’s just my interpolation.
Five Nights at Freddy’s – Atari Phone GuyBesides that, I feel their explanation is pretty darn sound. It clearly demonstrates the painstaking effort and attention to detail that Scott Cawthon, the creator of Five Night at Freddy’s, put into the franchise.
I definitely cannot wait to see how Five Night at Freddy’s 3 completes the series, once it’s released…Which of course we all know will be.
