A History of Fake FNAF Leaks/Hoaxes - gomotion

so I've been a part of this whole staff thing since before the second game was released; In fact, the first video I made about the series was published just a few days before it came out on Steam and during the time I was aware of it. the series I have made the transition from child to adult I'm not kidding Phaneuf one is almost six years old it's crazy I was 12 when the game was released I'm now 18 and with Anna's popular game series for now it's inevitable that some Little tricksters have had something to do with spreading false reports of rumors, false

leaks

,

hoaxes

about the works and of course, is there a lot of that to discuss personally today?

I joined the big walking train in November 2014, right in the middle of the before fraf - in fact, I think the first sneak peek I saw on Scott's website was that marionette image or the puppet as we know it today, Yes, I remember when SWAT game previews were around, but that's not what we're here for. not to talk about today, today I'm bringing my dirty face to the table the teaser images that people would swear about their mothers' lives were legit that in the end turned out to be nothing more than rumors the

fake

easter egg emails fool my goal here it's basically pointing fingers and preserving judgment for the rest of all time, so in chronological order I'm going to mention any and all specialties for now, people I can find covering all 6 minute games.

I'm barely counting anything beyond 3. the

hoaxes

really started to fade after them, oh and real quick, let me establish that there are differences between hoaxes and rumors. A hoax is a deliberately fabricated image or video designed to trick the reader into believing it is the ultimate truth, you already know. cold evidence while a rumor well I have to explain what a rumor is basically just speculation. I'll give honorable mentions to the rumors that have already circulated, but I really want to focus on the hoaxes. Yeah, I know there's some overlap between the two, but Anyway, I'm talking about the visual stuff, here we go, Five Nights at Freddy's, I was actually pretty safe from people spreading false information about it, except one exception, the infamous animatronic dog Sparky, possibly the first five people he was supposed to appear on camera with backstage. peeking out from behind the door with the shadow conveniently masking most of his features and I have to say someone really fell in love with this.

I'm impressed to this day, but at the time it was a cleverly convincing

fake

and even people who are familiar with the game were falling in love with it, it spoke to me perfectly and it's entirely plausible to imagine that I don't see it out of the corner of my eye during gameplay, of course, assuming it would work the same way posters on the wall do, for example, well. I have a small chance to switch to a break. Green Hell, even when I first learned about the series in the middle of math, writing it was still a hot topic of discussion, but actually, yes, this is awliyas.

I think I sneezed on one of this before the creator finally showed up and went on the record saying it was nothing but shenanigans and a hastily painted quote-unquote mess, yeah, no kidding, gotta give props to Judah, this is definitely a Really convincing fakeout, most of the rest of the fuss. About this game came in the form of rumors, keep in mind that this was just the first game that in its beginnings didn't have much fandom, you know, doing tricks, things like, I guess, a visible corpse inside of girl, the infamous Fox. It's a nice guy theory, the idea that the phone guy was the killer, the handprint on Freddie's face, given the rumor that he caused 87's bite, this was fan speculation and nothing else, oh and apparently typing 666 in the custom night unlocks the kitchen.

I was never aware of it, but like the others, it apparently became popular now, if we talk directly from the beginning about knife scams that are not tied to one game or another, there were a select few fake images that circulated on This time I would like to get into its own subcategory of ladies and gentlemen in real life. I won't go too deep down this rabbit hole, but people, or let's face it, kids well convinced that Freddy Fazbear's pizza existed, of course we ignore the fact that it didn't. not a single soul had any semblance or idea of ​​what a Freddy fazbear was before the game's release, but look, it's a compressed JPEG of a poorly photoshopped sign on the front of a building, how could you debunk that and then someone went ahead and actually did? the animatronics into real animatronics, yeah, they definitely didn't have fuel for the fire and then that was really where the hoaxes started to ramp up and I like you, this is where the fake hoax fad was at its peak, the introduction of a lot of new characters.

Man, there was a lot more room for interpretation, which means a lot more ways to fool the community, unlike his previous entry. Freddy's 2 didn't really have an overall gimmick, it just had a variety of equally strange and confusing oddities. images, of course, got the classic animatronic purple guy in the office. I never really understood this what the killer was, an empty disguise, a ghost, it originated in a video released shortly after the game's release, it appeared for a measly frame before disappearing upon realization. What a stupid idea that is, for some reason this one really seemed to take off, generated a ton of fans, and within a few months, even what I found most interesting is that in the grand scheme of things, the origin of the video isn't even that. popular compared to how much the screenshots were shared.

I had no idea the video existed before the investigation, yes the rest of the most well-known hoaxes of this game fall into the realm of our highlights, cool printed screens, disappointment, we have the shadow of Balloon Boy. whatever, this abomination is not one of the most credible ones, it was the puppet in the office. There's now an image in the game files that suggests that at one point it was intended to be visible in the office for some reason, but as it turns out, unlike every other hoax in this video, it's actually now real, of course. , it's false.

Some of the notable hoaxes include the gray puppet in quotes. I was this guy again, yes, again. I had no idea this guy existed. Before we go ahead and investigate these hoaxes, yes, it seems this is when video hoaxes start to become prevalent. Make epic surf deals. Mysterious purple figure that I remember at the time being referred to as that static guy, for example Rockso, seems to be a pretty big figure here. although it is responsible for a good handful of these hoaxes, the gray animatronic puppets in the public eye and a few others, all in video form, anyway, most of the hoax is from this era, our palette changes brewery as it seems and I can honestly say that nothing can really be resisted.

The original Sparky dog ​​in terms of credibility and popularity is a different story now, but between this and this, who is most likely to inform you that he is infected with a serious case of measles before you get too close? Yes, that's what I thought. Oh, and Of course, honorable mentions go to the best room I've ever heard. The first thing is the idea that the animatronics in the game show freedom. What you don't believe me. Hey, you're here every time you get caught. Next is the theory that if you reverse the trailer audio, hear the words Mikey killed everyone or the suicides didn't work, yes, choose finally and people were very adamant about this, people convinced that this blind of here it was some secret character or something like a cat, maybe I mean, yeah. seems a little out of the ordinary, but this is just the normal frame for camera 11.

I understand the phrase hidden in plain sight, but come on, overall the lint baths have definitely had a bigger impact, but nothing really. was the candle of that classic Sparky fake what no, no, we don't talk about this damn nonsense if nothing convinced you that any of the post-fine hoaxes were real, then well, five nights at Freddy's 3 was the game of 5 nights more publicized. It took everything we knew about college games and completely abandoned it. This teaser from December 2014 opens up so many rumors and speculation it was ridiculous, but even before the game was officially announced, people were joking, so I'll split the segment. in two parts try enough three and after four nap three hold on to your possibly shitty gameplay because this one is really cool so before three we have a bunch of nasty shenanigans again, that being said they were all done in context of a possible sequel with this fake Freddy Lands leak as a solid and pretty terrible example.

Here we have two of the most well-known fakes and as far as I'm concerned, the creator of The Tycoon, this guy made a lot of the most iconic phenophases, actually of course the most notable is Withered Phoebe and the Withered Puppet , but most, if not all, still seem to pop up from time to time and in one specific case even for The Point to Inspire Official Fusion, there was still some image editing this time around, aside from the paws voice work, including this strangely convincing Bonnie, of course, we now know her as an edited withered Bonnie, but at the time the poor quality of the image naturally led me to move on. a bit, I guess I never imagined it was an actual free leak, but it was enough to make me think we got this image too, yeah, no, the infamous image edit was definitely this, although it was never passed off as an individual hoax.

I believed that this mysterious figure at the time was actually Fredbear, if you joined the image, of course, in a situation similar to the purple guy's animatronic hoax, this also became extremely popular, even more so, generating a lot of fan art and interpretations, one guy even went that far. To make a fan realize, some people even claim that the animatronic had sharp red teeth and some people blame it on it not even being the original model we ended up with in the Atul game and I can see both points but it's not So. It seems like the original spring snare model never changed beyond that first teaser image.

Oh, and how could I forget this? Oh yeah, when the theory that Fern would later be a free-roaming game was always popular. Oh wow, what times, well it looks like I finally have an original 3D model that someone tried to pass off as legitimate. I take my hat off to you, but we can't talk about 3D hoaxes again without the Holy Trinity. None of these images were made with the intention of deceiving anyone except Holy Hell. They also had the first version of Candy the Cat by Emile Marcos and the animatronic markiplier of him, but the four-horned ice cream man was definitely thrown in a bit?

Finally, one thing I don't think I can forget was when someone used it for the first time, yeah. the infamous email leak details, but a special trailer for the third game that launched on Christmas Day, well, we've had five of them since then. I don't keep my hopes up. I think there was also a rumor of a Santa Claus animatronic around this. time - yes, it was silly and I'm glad we're over that and yes, I like E who is quite modern for pain and has three deceptions, okay as far as the pose of our three deceptions, we have fans, abani, great, yeah, that's it.

I've admitted that there really wasn't a ton of fabrication in the works on the game. I mean, the circumstances weren't that different from the first two, so what the hell happened anyway? I definitely think this game had the most Shenanigans done to date ranging from stupid to slightly plausible, but at least some of them tried. The key word here is when the frequency and fake images and videos went down, suddenly some still existed but as more people became aware of it. that it's a little difficult to know how to leak game information when the game information is locked on a masked computer, harder it was to fool anyone we had enough to post oh I really don't remember a lot of hoaxes being spread now The rumors are a different story, people had some crazy ideas about what the gameplay would entail in this entry, but I mean, the teases of the game itself were enough to calm people down, it seems like it's definitely the kind of thing that fans they would have aspired to have.

They scammed us anyway and warned us about our scams, tons of people, including myself, made nightmarish variations of various Five Nights characters, generating countless fake trailers, someThey were pretty well done, others weren't, so in terms of actual hoaxes there seems to be only one that stands out as the most prevalent and I met JJ with the initial post made just a couple hours into the Halloween DLC work, yeah I'm not going to beat around the bush here, I did Nightmare JJ, I did the hoax, yeah I got moving and I think it's safe to say he's potentially the best known by now for his hoaxes, of course that's not saying much , there were hardly any hooks to compete with, but that said, it seemed to fool a couple of people at the time, so to be fair, I went for it. drop that image or just before the game files have been seen and I think if someone is quick enough they could still make a leak that way these days, but it's a lot more of a challenge than during the finale; unfortunately, three eras. the actual image file no longer exists on my computer, but hey, Raz Bounce Ki made a video covering it and mentions me, so you know, that's proof enough, but there's really not much more to say about this entry .

I did the only deception and I believe. a couple people might have done a halloween DLC dupe or two maybe, but nothing like a splash of water from the top of my head, yeah, I feel like I have to lump all of these games into their own section, not really There were a lot of things happening. the fake

leaks

department here as unit sister location, people thought it was Spring Bunny's reflection, yeah I loved them but wait, technically there was quite a layer of hoax to this Funko game of all people, yeah, Funko for those who don't know, these guys are responsible for most of the flop, you'll see Funko pops action figures that are surprisingly decent shitty plush toys, the whole gang is here but for some strange reason they decided to release their own OC, a Funko pop called Dark Spring-Trap, the official description says and I quote that this pop features Dark Spring-Trap, a form of rope trap that only transforms when extremely angry.

Now here's what Dark Spring-Trap apparently is. canon in some ways, well I can possibly think of Springtrap appearing in the custom night scene of Sister's final location, but it's never been confirmed where he exists. Okay, the pizzeria simulator had two, an old school preview. I remember clearly, although it was RAM Moulton Freddy's scream with a string of numbers played, did the code do anything? No, but it seems important and that's the key element here, I guess, and yeah, that's pretty much it for sex. Now, the end client surprisingly had a couple of scams that it seems of all people, I think this was it. because as a total combination of everything from an attack it was more susceptible to people just assuming it might have gotten a little weird at times oh hey you wouldn't be wrong a youtuber by the name of release mning directly just posted a 12 minute hug video of a supposed x'demon Freddy and this could be certified, yes I didn't know anything about this video before the investigation and I'm sure I don't want to see more of this, fortunately the other ucn fake here is just a classic fake image of what appears to be a fret bear slumped against the wall in a dark room.

I mean, you can't go wrong with that and that covers all the major hoaxes and fake leaks I could get my hands on. There were a couple I missed but if they were that popular I wouldn't have forgotten them and I know I actually missed a lot of obscure stuff that really deserves a video if I ever wanted to discuss that, you know the rumors and theories. That kind of thing became strangely popular, but I wanted to end this video by talking about why hoaxes disappeared because there might be a solid reason for it. I've already discussed a couple of reasons, but this sums it up pretty well.

Hoaxes became much more difficult to manufacture as time went on because the community became much more skeptical after so many previous hoaxes and was able to confirm to Deacon how quickly new games were decompiled compared to old games. The community also had a better understanding of both Scott's style and his development process, so it was easier to distinguish between official images and hoaxes, with a few exceptions - once, a JJ hoax is like a puppet ghost bunny and Freddy's lands will be completely discarded nowadays, for example, and you know what I totally agree with. I don't think we'll ever go back to that uncertainty-wins-stinks bug.

You know it was part of the charm of those early games, but hey, you won't have to deal with this crap anymore. that's a damn advantage
