A while ago over on Film Theory, I tried to figure out if we theory channels and fans RUINED Star Wars. Did our analysis make the creators feel like they had to do crazy things to surprise us and not play into our predictions? Well, it looks like we need to have that conversation AGAIN - this time about the video game industry. Listen, Game Devs need to let me be RIGHT!

My favorite case of a creator trying to throw fans off of the truth has to be when Alex Hirsch (the creator of gravity falls) saw that fans started guessing that Stan had a brother who wrote the journals, and he created a fake leak framing McGucket as the author of the journals. It was brilliant and did exactly what he wanted it to do, without sacrificing the story.

I think its a great point that developers should let the fans have their win. The fans will get excited cus they picked up on the correct clues, and the developers laid out the clues in such a way, that there was indeed something to track, somthing to theorise about.

I know, the best is that you get more interested in the story, since you guessed it once, the author who made the plot thinks like you do, or follow your logic, so of course you'll read more to see if you can get more things right. Like the opposite is also true, if you believe something gonna happen and it's completely the wrong conclusion you can even get annoyed with the story and plot because there was foreshadowing for one to be the villain, but it was someone else who already was proven to be wrong and it was bs all along... The fans who were reading or following the story won't read because the logic don't make sense to them and it may even make them ignore the story.

thinking about your conclusion, game devs should do something like Alex Hirsch, creator of Gravity Falls. When fans found his big secret, he did not change his conclusion, he gave something which did not affect the story at all, but gave fans enough doubt about their conclusion that they still felt the effect of a shocking reveal.

It's not everyday that you explain the search trends of Among Us in APA format after discussing JJ Abrams' controversial Mystery Box 😆 Thank you MatPat and the theorist gang for making these awesome videos, paving the way for many others to be creative and theorize themselves.

The funniest damage control ive seen a creator did when their fans' theories predicted the story was with Alex Hirsch with the author reveal. Some fans figured out that (spoilers) the author was Stan's twin brother and to salvage the climax Alex faked a photo "leak" with a single frame of McGucket writing the journal behind him and posted it to reddit- Like mans willing to troll his entire fanbase just for the reveal 😭 but at least he didnt double down and do a last minute change. The author was still Ford and i appreciate that

As a writer, seeing people's reactions to a twist is always satisfying. As a consumer, guessing a twist before it happens is always satisfying. Please, writers, realise that you're making something with the primary intent of being enjoyable to an audience. If you get angry and change things when they do something that will make them happy, you're doing a bad job.

It's my theory that BOTW2 was delayed because of what the devs saw from FromSoftware. They wanted to add Elden Ring gameplay aspects to BOTW. Wouldn't be surprised if we get a whole underground region. And if I am right, they probably were originally only intending a "sky region" addition.

That's because- every theorist leaves less and less possibilities for big surprises. Just imagine if Bioshock Fans early on said that Atlas would betray you and be Fontain. Then there wouldn't be that great twist, but just a shell that needs something new and better. Problem is: If the Game has allready build upon that early idea, then- you practically have to to it all over.

I'm an author. In one of my creative writing courses in college, my professor basically drilled home the idea that was highlighted by George R.R. Martin in this video clip: When the twist happens in your story, don't make it an unexpected twist. When the reader reads the twist, they should say to themselves "I should have seen that coming" because you (the author) laid out the clues before. Crazy storyline twists without clues don't trigger the reader's dopamine response and make the story fall flat. Apparently that's the same thing with video games.

But if someone, before you even released the Book says "this and that will be the big twist" then- Well, you gotta think of something better, because you don't want to have that big reaction/suprise. And that is the Problem. If you corner a Dev/Writer of the Possibilites of a Twist, then yeah- it'll be bad.

Is it just me, or is the new Game Theory host undergoing the exact opposite problem MatPat is here? FNAF:SB kept changing against MatPat's theories so that he could never get it right, but I feel like Poppy Playtime is trying to make the theories correct. Like, I swear, the plot-twist at the end of chapter 2 was so incredibly uncalled for, and the only explanation as to why it happened in the first place was Mob feeling the need to make Game Theory right. Let them be right and wrong, idiots!

@samefornever5637 2 года назад
@@westtexas_4491 You also have to remember that the fans hated the original direction the lore was headed (it was all a dream), so Scott wanted to change the lore to make the fanbase happy. That is where you get the majority of your contradicting lore points. The story itself isn’t actually that bad, it just gets so confusing at points that you lose sight of the pieces you’ve already collected and placed together. This best way I can explain the lore: It’s like a tangled clump of yarn, you can see one end that’s connected to the nicely packaged yarn and the other is lost in the clump. You can’t untangle it from one end so you try to find the other end of the yarn. FNaF is a lot like that. The original, neatly packaged story wasn’t well liked so Scott changed it, creating this clump of yarn, but it’ll be all the more satisfying when we finally find that other end, that missing piece and are able to unravel the story.

I am gonna say that if game developers ARE changing their lore last minute around what you're doing, that's just poor decision making on their part. Rushed last minute changes are always gonna be worse than the actual story you were going to go with, fulfilling audience expectations isn't a bad thing, and fact is, if someone watched a theory video and spoiled the game for themselves, that's on them. Like listening to fan feed back is one thing, but changing everything around so it's a surprise, is just a bad idea.

To all the game developers out there, Matpat is right. Don’t worry about us finding out the lore of your games before you’re ready to release it all; it’s what makes the game fun. Finding out we were right about FNAF (in some cases) made it all the more exciting. It gives us something to talk about and reminisce over, it builds communities and friendships (from what I’ve seen, FNAF kids always migrate together). And at the end of the day, it’s nice find yourself correct about something.

What also could be happening is the author worrying that the fanbase would be dissapointed, and surely some of them would be, having expected a twist and then feeling robbed of that feeling of piecing the twist together in their head, just because they watched a youtube video and because they worry about those fans' dissapointment, it leads to them changing the twist or mystery last second to avoid that problem, ultimately leading to a rushed story

There's a fine line to balance, if a movie plot is so freaking obvious that the majority guess the plot twist, they won't be happy that it turned out to be such an obvious plot twist, they will think it was boring, but if the movie was pretty deep and complicating so that it took a lot of digging and thinking to figure out the plot twist, then fans would be very happy and satisfied that they figured it out. On the opposite end, if your story is far too complicated and doesn't have coherent hints and foreshadowing, then fans won't like it because it's pointless and impossible to try to figure it out, there's no satisfaction with the conclusion because there was no way to figure it out in the first place.

We especially know this happened, because the game has almost no Lore, what little story there is, is messy, doesn't make sense, and the gameplay doesn't fit.

The developers should never change the game's story just because of fan theories, be they right or wrong. They should only make changes they belive are better than what they already have.

As a fanfic writer, I'm usually ecstatic when someone figures out the next plotpoint I'm introducing. It makes me happy knowing that it makes sense, and it makes them happy knowing they got it right. Companies shouldn't be changing the plots of their stories and games just because someone predicted them, and it always sucks when the Internet goes "oh! we figured this out!" so the story gets thrown into the trash.

More than that, these companies don't take into account that their plot is going to become known anyway and it will have to defend itself from scrutiny for years to come.

Same, I do write original work and if I have a plot twist, I want to achieve an "Omg that makes so much sense" moment, but a "I knew it!" is just as great. The worst is if it doesn't make sense from a reader's perspective or if the clues haven't been laid out properly

"Yes, and" from Improv comedy might be a useful trick. Whenever in DnD, as a DM, find that my players are able to predict where the storyline is going (Or get over excited about a storyline I didn't really think about) I tend to set what they predict in stone, BUT add more to it, so they feel satisfied in their ability to theorize about my DnD game, but are also surprised by unexpected turns and events.

See, what developers and writers seem to forget, is that if fans are theorizing about your story... it means the fans are *interested.* It means we're paying attention. Don't punish fans for enjoying and being engaged in your story by sabotaging your story just to try and surprise us.

The better thing to ask is: why did you leave so many clues? Because often enough, if it takes 1 game for the player base to deduce the plottwist as one of the biggest things to happen in the next game, even if it is a plottwist you preferred was kept secret but discoverable on second playthrough, then you simply left too many clues. The key rule to plottwists is to leave out enough evidence to hint at a potential plottwist, but that there is more evidence on the contrary. Again, not too much to a point where it feels like the potential plottwist is being covered up making it more obvious. But just enough red herrings to show there is something is not right, but with enough normality for players to not dig too deep. Let alone that the biggest killer of plottwists is devs adding certain files that can be detected by the second game that have super obvious names. And if someone manages to guess it correctly even against your best efforts to avoid it being revealed, just admit defeat and toss them a bone or easter egg in the update.
