Security Breach has officially been out for a year now, and with our newfound power of hindsight, I feel it's finally time for me to talk about it.

AKA: the guy who first pointed out that the official SB Playstation description called fnaf "family friendly horror" finally contributes something
Absoloutly MASSIVE thanks to my editors ThatGingerFlynn, Atsaw, VALOR, Voltan and MisterMatt for making this video possible. 15,000 words and over an hour of video and we got it done in less than a month. Bravo everyone
So for my first major fnaf video since Siege of castle scawthon, I thought a big Security Breach retrospective was in order. I may not have "solved" security breach (and neither did Funaff), but after a full years worth of countless fnaf news updates, three full Game Theory eps, and the birth of a new generation of Fnaftubers, I think it was finally time for me to get my two cents in about fnaf's biggest release to date. I'm no Raycivick or Sagen Hawkes, but I thought I'd at least put my thoughts out for the world to see.
I also probably would've spilt this into a few parts and called it "What Scott Cawthon did to Five Nights at Freddy's" but hey, the amazing The Cursed Judge already used that title

thanks for defending matpat lol im not a fan of all his theories, some of them are really strange, but i'm so tired of people ratting on him when he ends up being right 85% of the time. like he predicted patient 46 being gregory, yet people still act as though his gregbot theory is still way too insane to be true lol if fnaf has proven anything, it's that nothing is that insane to be off limits

[@shycrow1272]

I may not agree with a good amount of Mat's fnaf theories, but unfortunately, we've gotten to the point where Mat could predict the next game level by level and the fnaf community would still refuse to give him credit for that. It's... just an unfortunate effect of toxic fanbases, sadly. I remember back when Smash Ultimate was releasing, there was this one very well known leaker who, I kid you not, managed to get EVERY single one of his predictions RIGHT, even when other reputable leakers disagreed with his info. Unfortunately, the community just HATED him for some reason, including many well known game journalists too, and only hated more and more as he was proven right, and now, it seems the community has done their best to bury his existence, and whatever tiny bits of info they speak about him... is simple name-calling.. Now, I am in no way saying Matpat is a DasVergeben situation (mat is a theorist, NOT a leaker) but it just goes to show just how far these dark communities can go.

What pains me the most is that Security Breach basically nullified amazing ending that story already had in Pizzeria Simulator. Like, "Connection terminated" monologue is genuinely one of the best endings I had seen in a while and it got ruined. Somebody would argue it was going into this direction since Help Wanted, but I would argue that this point could become a great soft reboot for the story, like a new arc with new villain (Vanessa, wannabe Afton) without this whole "I always come back" bullshit. I mean, you can come back only for so long until it will become annoying rather than intriguing. What I wanted to say is - if SB started a new plotline without any Afton shenanigans, it's story wouldn't be half as bad. Freddybear deez nuts

@@killeranimatronic5448 but from the narrative perspective I personally think that it would, again, ruin the ending monologue and make story even more convoluted. The purpose of Pizzeria Simulator was to tie the loose ends and finish the story. Well, at least it looked like it when it came out. It would hurt the integrity of the FNAF if all of them just miraculously survived, in my opinion. While I agree, it would be the most logical way for the events to unravel in real life, don't get me wrong I'm not debating that, yet I would say that it would also unnecessarily prolong already really long story and overall would be much more boring than just the soft reboot

[@Thor-Orion]

I’m really cautiously optimistic about Ruin. I want them to take their time and delay it as long as it takes to redeem Security Breach.

[@boomboom6410]

I think the screwing up of the story was what aggravated me the most about this game! Steel Wool had perfectly set up a sort of soft reboot of the franchise with the introduction of Vanny in Help Wanted and was laying the ground work for a new era of FNAF. Vanny was gonna be the next big villain in the franchise, she seemed like she would've been a really compelling character. I mean the idea of someone who's unwillingly possessed by Afton and forced to carry out a new string of murders just sounds so DOPE! It would've been cool to see her two sides battle each other, with one side trying to kill Gregory and one side trying to save him! All Steel Wool had to do was create a simple story of Vanny trying to kill a group of children trapped in the Pizza Plex and Gregory trying to help those kids. THATS IT! Maybe add a couple small mysteries around the Pizza Plex that could reference past games or set up future games but that was it! However, just like with everything else in this game, Steel Wool went WAAAAAAAYY too over the top and convoluted the literal hell out of the story to the point where you don't even understand what the base motivations are for the characters! It was so simple and they dropped the ball harder than Fredbear chomped on the crying kids frontal lobe. PS: I understand that Scott is responsible for this too but I feel like Steel Wool had to have had input in someway.

[@Hilo-gk3ix]

Seriously! I’m really struggling to take anything as canon in this game because it’s just a mess and feels like it has no connection besides the fact that there is a Freddy animatronic and a Chica animatronic. More just an occasional call back to some of the games themes.

[@nihili4196]

I feel like this all can be blamed on pushing out game too soon, and steelwool being too small of a studio for such project. So what we've got seems like a compromise between what we were supposed to get, and what was possible to do within the capabilities of the dev team. Because well, games have to be released eventually.

[@boomboom6410]

@@nihili4196 Which isn't a good way to develop a game!

[@bufficliff8978]

It's more on Steel Wool than Scott because Steel Wool didn't even finish the story Scott GAVE them. The balloon boy ending went nowhere. There was another classic FNAF storytelling element that went nowhere but I can't remember what. And Scott "publicly left" the project around the time Steel Wool decided to redo everything. They did such a good job on VR (to the point I still think it's possibly the best VR game made despite VR tech having improved the past few years) that Scott and they were overconfident in their ability to do a normal game. There's no end to the commentary because there's no end to the problems but it's just a tragedy

[@boomboom6410]

@L You do realize that Scott was overseeing a good portion of development right? Scott could've told them to stop adding so much stuff to the game but he specifically stated in a post that he let them make the game more and more bloated. There is no way that Scott didn't play even a little of his own product before release so he definitely had a part in it's failure. It's his franchise, he still gets the final say!

I don't think the fan base didn't appreciate the horror. Why make scary versions of something already scary. People made silly interpretations of a scary thing. Now it's flipped because FNAF is silly so the fandom is making the scary. The fan base loves both sides. That was always the charm.

[@leonineKelter]

I think another contributor is the reason it became less scary in the first place. A lot of people earlier in the fandom were kids. Now most of those kids have grown up significantly and have different priorities in the new wave of the fandom. I know I was obsessed with fnaf when I was 9, and was much more interested in drawing the animatronics and giving them personalities than I generally am now, at least specifically pertaining to the fnaf fandom lol

[@packman2321]

This was really cool to watch. Most of prior experience of Security Breach has been speed runners so seeing the game taken apart in terms of the actual stealth mechanics was really interesting. I also thought your argument surrounding the sentience of the animatronics the way the franchise has shifted over time was really well made. I don't really interact with the fandom much so I don't know how popular the opinion was, but I really like the idea of remnant. It's silly, but the world building side of my mind lights up with all the possibilities for computing systems that can gain functionality and personhood over time, and I think it also really nicely integrates elements like ghosts and grief into the world. A lot of stories want to just suture ghosts onto a world that is otherwise unchanged without really considering how the existence of ghosts over time would definitely be noticed and dug into, so seeing a bunch of scientists messing around hooking ghost-science up into their computers is satisfying to me on a level I didn't really expect from FNAF. Moreso than the original lore in fact (I'm going to be honest 'serial killer who targets kids' is a bit generic and didn't really give me any interest in who the purple guy was, without the connection to remnant, I don't actually care about Afton at all. Giving him a more individualised goal makes a lot more of a unique villain). That said, I'm going entirely from second hand accounts. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the books don't intergrate this as well as they could.

He did. There isn’t any proof of him being one though. I think some people just thought that because William targeted children in his murders, that he was a pedo. Though, again, there is no proof of this and it’s a weak claim at best. Personally I prefer Wendigoon’s take on William’s motive, that he didn’t start killing kids until Evan(the crying child, he oldest son)died in the bit of 83. After that he became devastated by the death of his son and tried to find a way to bring him back(hence “I will put you back together”). He figures out about the possession thing, starts experimenting by using animatronics to kill kids and see if they get possessed as well and it works. The reason he targeted kids wasn’t because “he’s a pedo,” it’s because children are the ones who will go to see animatronics, which were what he used to kill people.

Theorycrafting had a HUGE revive though!

[@BigLesbian]

The problem with Ruin is that there isnt a way to make actual puzzles or anything resembling fnaf. The player can just move out the way and it shows when they try to do classic fnaf style in the burntrap ending. I wish the game took you to spots and would either be a locked perspective minigame or the moving around style. Well, either way the game wasn't ever gonna be all that great as it's very clearly had major rewrites in all aspects, makes me wish that we could've seen a fully thought out and realised vision for this game

[@gibbyjibby0]

My biggest issue with SB is the environment and story. The pizzaplex of course looks AMAZING but it’s not what I picture when I think of a scary environment. Or maybe have the pizzaplex how it is at the beginning but once the doors close, the lights automatically go out and it’s mostly dark. Now that would be something. I also don’t care to much for the animatronics having personalities. I don’t think it’s a bad idea, but I think they overdid it here like with the dialogue and everything. They seem, like, too sentient so it eliminates the horror of animatronics that are *just* animatronics, but they “seem alive” cause they’re lookin at me funny. I find it strange that FNAF ended up going the “horror for kids” route. When FNAF 1 came out, and Markiplier made his first video on it not too long after, I had just turned 9 Aug 4th. And I’ve stayed updated with FNAF ever since even though it gave me nightmares. And I know a lot of other people that were about my age at that time too. So I find it sort of ironic. I was willing to give post PS/UCN a chance once I saw the whole Vanny setup, but seeing the direction it’s taking now? Yeah, no. It was fun while it lasted.

[@glockhall59]

Part of the fun with classic fnaf was kind of making up your own personas for the characters in your head I think, and the fandom sharing those interpretations. Giving them straight up personalities not only ruins the horror, but a large part of the charm classic fnaf had I feel.

[@focy1546]

BRO WHAT, NO WAY YOU'RE THIS UNDERRATED....😨

[@generallyunimportant]

the vid's awesome. aside from really apparent audio level inconsistencies which take less time to polish than a videogame as huge as fnaf sb but i'm not going to complain much more. except maybe about how good the story rundown is? i'unno, it's pretty solid last time i checked. anywaes, rip in peperonis peepaw afTONE.

[@shycrow1272]

Thanks! Yeah I pulled a really dumb move with how I handled the audio in this one (this was a crazy fast production) but I'll probably reupload this later on with a few things tweaked as much as I feasibly can.

[@mr.g3145]

this vid does such a good job at reviewing sb, recapping and partially explaining the lore and how it’s gone to crap, and retrospect on fnaf. well 1 hour of my life spent, underrated guy right here

[@ftrwrwbg]

I have no idea where any of all that SB story you recapped was in the game. The game never explained one single thing. You wander around for hours with no story happening at all then out of nowhere you find the blob and Afton and before you can even ask what’s going on here the game is over.

[@lastmellon489]

I agree. The endings are very abrupt with little to no buildup story wise.

[@killgunsolsen0467]

2:55 You got me in the first half not gonna lie

[@KashForte]

Totally agree, with everything you said. I started watching with my teens. It’s was a beautiful disaster but my kids love it.😂😂 Freddy bear

[@shycrow1272]

Oh wow! It's super cool to have one of the older fnaf enjoyers watching this, especially since I made sure to mention that rather-obscure audience in the video! Thanks so much for the comment!

[@ZeroDim]

For me bought the game day 2 and tried playing for about 2 hours my old gaming laptop (i got a new one as of recent) never ran the same like legit it went from being able to run 75 mods on terraria with no lag to barely being able to run any on low settings until TML 4.0 came out which optimized it also fortnite cod and even roblox became hard asf to run even on lowest settings

[@lolggez]

If they really wanted to continue the story they could've made a cult of people that somehow figured out about what afton did and wants to continue his work and that leads to security breach instead of bringing afton back for the 3rd time

[@miraclemassacre]

great video! the only real grudge i have is refering to William Afton as a 'pedophile' at 36:09

[@donnamitsuki281]

Y'know as someone who has been into FNaF since basically the first time Markiplier ever played it... I think you hit the nail in the head when it comes to how unbothered I was by the animatronics being basically people. It's cause I already saw them as people The fandom very much gave them individual personalities and attitudes to the point having animatronics with ACTUAL personalities was completely natural and there was no problem with it. FNaF Security Breach really does has that made by a fandom perspective feel,cause even if it wasn't perfect it exploded and some of us stayed to enjoy the mayhem it was Tho it's also true really nobody takes William Afton seriously anymore,he's no longer the child murderer who caused torment. He's peepaw Afton who refuses to just kick the bucket already and just let Vanny take over the antagonist role. Which is honestly sad ngl

[@mr.g3145]

this man right here needs a oscar, i think every old head fnaf fan would agree, including myself

[@shadowbowser5674]

So I don’t understand, Do you like the animatronics in this game having personalities or no? Sorry I’m very slow

[@jare3959]

Pokemon SV is a really good comparison to Security Breach. Really ambitious and enjoyable games that needed way more polish.

[@leonel392]

I mean, Pokemon is one of the biggest franchises in the world

[@Vingus]

I love SV. Lots of content there. And the ending is stunning.

[@PatrickWarby]

Finally someone who has something good to say about fnaf sb

[@skycreeper0173]

Super awesome video.

[@Adog00]

The dlc got announced a few days ago and I’m so excited!! I really loved this game (minus tech issues)

[@vanillajasper4844]

What I wanna know about security breach is, what was the original story? What was changed? Why did they change it?

[@Owen01]

@@roachybillRobo-pedophile? Since when is Afton a pedophile? Lmao.

[@revelare_xvii6269]

FNAF basically went from horror to sci-fi action horror.

[@kaifisshhh]

William literally went from “broken man and father figure turns into monster” to “haha funny old man rabbit” Freddybear.

[@1Tombb]

Tales from the Pizzaplex answers some of these questions, the glam rocks are confirmed to have personality chips, and Afton has remnant, which is why he's fleshy

[@criticalbot5814]

That number one thing that pieces me off about security breach is that it doesn't have a narrative. It has no story. It's filled with shit lore that's tossed to the side with the main focus being upgrading Freddy. With how the old trailers portrayed vanny and afton, I was hoping that security breach will take a more classical route in story telling but for some reason settled on telling the actual story through bullshit disc's and messages. I believe that it was originally going to be the case as the first trailers depicted that but for some reason it shifted when the second batch of trailers rolled around. Kinda feels like that steel wool ripped that element right out either cause they ran out of time or they just couldn't fit it in so they just came up with the bullshit we have now.

[@yellowbananago]

44:43 I'm confused, what's up with this Sam O'Nella reference?

[@Evan345gdf]

Half way through, love the vid so far

[@Adog00]

Omg one of the things I could not do in this game and that took me hours was mazer size. I glitched through a wall to get in💀💀

[@the_godbodor7026]

The point at the end about samey-gameplay is a pretty good point and has both its pros and cons. Jrs is a great example of how a FNaF game can be similar to the classics while offering a new spin on things to make it different while there are FNaF fangames that try to be similar but end up being completely awful like Dormitabis. On the opposite side of the spectrum you have things like The Joy of Creation that make a change to free roam gameplay feel really good and challenging while being pretty scary (story mode especially) but then there are several that fail to reach that level and end up feeling awful. Security Breach really felt like it was trying to be something amazing, and it probably would’ve been if it wasn’t for scope creep and over ambition. Now with what we’re seeing from Ruin, plus with them hopefully learning their lesson after SB, Steel Wool has me quite interested in this new experience with maybe a more satisfying ending than any of the current SB endings (nothing will ever beat that fantastic Henry speech tho)

[@holysmokesitsdoclegato]

hey man, just found your channel from my reccomended. top notch edit, sound and script (also I really like your voice)! just subbed, thank you for this amazing video to watch while I wait for my bus. greetings from Brazil!

[@nihilsnake4017]

I like how the game feels like a big liminal space, like some Backrooms type shit but only in some areas

[@nathalia120]

Yeah same, I do wish they leaned into it just a little more to add more of that unsettling factor though

[@TheRPGNerd]

am i the only one who didnt experience that many bugs with pokemon? like, i got maybe 2 crashes through the whole game (one was from me jumping on a roof, the other was when trying to do a union circle) and 2 graphical bugs (one also during a union circle). and that was it. i got the game before some of the more major bug fixes, so idk if i just got lucky or if it just isnt an issue when you play in handheld mode (i have a switch lite) or what.

[@DRESDENDOLLZ_]

GREAT shit my guy ^^

[@polxrize7576]

great video!

[@huh........]

Great video freddybear

[@rohithparashivamurthy3268]

I literally loved your analogy of afton to that of Team rocket in pokemon. That is really how Afton is reduced and viewed in the game😂

[@tabi4454]

I dont want to comment often but I want you to know: Your voice is very soothing and nice, and so i put the volume up to hear you and began to snooze. Then the star wars theme happened. I'm fully awake and concentrating now, I promise!

[@nileshollowthorn]

It took me and my friend 4 hours to beat the Mazercize puzzle with no guide and it was probably our favorite part of the game because of how good it felt to beat!

[@1Tombb]

Mazercize sucks so bad

[@Falkriim]

Love your content

[@MjayMilk]

Great retrospective on security breach :) also freddybear

[@Jesuslovesandsaves30]

37:55 this needs to be in theathers

[@diurtydantv8061]

I really don't like how the animatronics are sentient. I can't quite put my finger on why but it just feels wrong

[@r3mm13arts]

Awesome video^^ Freddybear!

[@M.M_222_]

16:29 Sister Location should've gotten that award I adore Sister Location so much

[@obambagaming1467]

If this continues, William will come back more often than Ganondorf

[@alex_ignis]

The thing that o love about FNAF, this kind of long essay videos, i could wacth them forever) Freddybear💜

[@y1751]

Wholeheartedly agree with you man. I've learned to accept the absurdity and sorta view anything post-3 as an expanded universe. I want to let go but can't, I simply need to see this through no matter how hard it may be. Also, I wouldn't really blame SB for bringing William back, more HW but I personally find it fucking hysterical that William Afton very likely escaped hell by leaving bits and pieces of his soul on a few old hard drives.

[@noahlittles2907]

Lol fucking loved this video a nice way to jump back into the series after not knowing wtf is going on since fnaf 4

[@cor289]

Afton should not have survived FNAF 6 for the sole reason that NOBODY should survive a one-liner as killer as “But for one of you, the darkest pit of hell has opened to swallow you whole, so don’t keep the devil waiting, old friend”

[@EggsBenedict-te4nj]

He didn't survive. He died but his mind was copied onto the parts used to create the vr game. It's so dumb how the devs just can't let him go.

[@mecolayposting9315]

Am I tripping and its late at night or do you actually sound like Sam O'Nella Academy, I started hearing that when you showed his thingy on the screen, anyways, great video!

[@G.reviewz]

I love the look, deel and aesthetics of security breach the glamrock animatronics look amazing and really eye catching and all the neon and arcade carpets around the whole place is amazing. That said i am sad that this game was pretty buggy.

[@gibbyjibby0]

0:28 I love how the picture used for the article is the close up of Freddy’s blank stare. That’s hilarious to me
