Hello neighbor 2 currently doesnt really tie in well with any other hello neighbor game especially the most recent one (Search and Rescue). While Aarons fate in Search and Rescue is left unknown its clear he cant be with his dad anymore. I feel like it is absolutely important have the games to tie into eachother so I decided to make this suggestion to make Hello Neighbor 2 make sense (Yes I am aware this isnt the first post about this issue but the other ones didnt go into full detail on what needs be changed)
1. The intro
Because of the events in SAR Aaron cant be in hn2. It would make more sense to have Nicky escape instead (and have him succeed). After Quentin sees this happen the rest of the intro can play out the same. This would also have the benefit of explaining why the cops are at the neighbors house the very next day.
This part was inspired by this suggestion: #1109757729578430504 message
The alternative could be bringing back a modified beta intro where Mr Peterson is already on the run and the cops are already at his house.
2. Nightmare 2
Nightmare 2 as it is currently ingame is fine and it would actually make it more impactful since it would be the player`s first time seeing Aaron in the game.
**3. The ending **
In the beta Aaron wasnt actually in the attic it was a trap. In the full game there are still remnants of this with the Aaron cutout still being there for some reason. I think you should bring the attic being a trap back and have Aaron not be there. And I imagine a modified ending without Aaron would go like this:
Quentin gets to the attic and enters the cage then realises Aaron isnt there and it was a trap. Then Mr peterson sneaks up on him and locks him in the cage. The rest of the boss fight plays out the same until the last cutscene. While Quentin is escaping he is caught off guard when the bird statue drops on Mr Peterson. Then Quentin gets knocked out.

4. Aaron
Aaron could maybe still be in the game because Search and Rescue leaves his fate unknown but one thing is clear he cannot be with his father at all. I cant go much further on explaining why because then I would be going into spoiler territory.
**5. Nickys house** Currently Hn2 uses a generic model for Nickys house. I feel like it would be a good idea to use the SAR model of his house though the hole in the roof should be removed so Quentin cant enter Nickys room but other than it shouldnt take too much effort to add since it perfectly fits in with the hn2 style and wouldnt take too much effort to add.
6. Basement
In all of the other depictions of the basement its huge but in hn2 its an average boring basement which is dissapointing. Im not saying you should have the full basement be explorable in hn2 just make it so that theres clearly a hidden entrance to the rest of basement that Quentin doesnt notice. Hn1 had the washing machine while hnvr has a fake brick wall that opens. You can add either one of those to keep the basement consistent
I had to split the suggestion into 2 messeges
I really want hn2 to tie with the other games currently it doesnt fit it in with the others all that well
Agreed
oh someone suggested to do the barn intro from the beta but with mj
that sounds really cool
I just realised I forgot a sentance in this post
I just edited it back in 👍
👍
I find it a bit funny how many suggestions there are about this issue (tho to be fair hn2 cant be canon to the rest of the games if this issue with the story is not fixed)
also the intro in the full game doesnt make much sense either
the cops just randomly appear and ted is on the run right after Quentin gets knocked out
👍🏻
Nicky escaping to his house would explain why the cops arrive
his parents called the cops
and Nicky and the rescue squad would be witnesses
in current hn2 there is no indication of nicky being there
same with the rescue squad
hn2 doesnt even fit in with the AS lol
the animated series has smartphones
while hn2 states multiple times thats it in 1996
the "new" timeline frankly just doesnt make sense
and makes so many questionable and bad changes
90% of the community just chooses to ignore it and act like doesnt exist
this is why some people (including me) call hn2 non canon
thats what the AS is
a reboot and a bad one
it was all simple until the CEO decided to bassically reboot everything and make it worse
only a few people I know on this server like the AS
and its clear most of the community hates it and just wants the books to be back
I really dont get why they went out of their way to scrap already established lore
hnvr started development before the dumb AS
so did hello engineer (theres a lot of evidence of it still following the original lore)
also the CEO lies like a lot
he cant even keep his own lore consistent
my advice is just to ignore the animated series almost nobody cares about it
dont its a downgrade
its full of character assasination and its just badly written
what?
they dont care
about the lore
like the AS is such a mess
act 3 was supposed to the manifestation of nicky`s trauma
now its real
which ruins the entire point
the current lore needs to be ditched
the AS goes against everything the original lore established
and was made against the original creators wishes
they should return to what they had before
continueing with the Animated series would just make the fans angrier
yes
from the little things Ive seen the books are far superior
the AS is just a cashgrab that has a story written for 5 year olds
it makes no sense
anyway this is becoming unrelated to my suggestion can we please move this to #hello-neighbor
I want discussions in this post to be related to the suggestion
not to be an arguement about the animated series
(ignore the discussion above) is there anything I should add to this?
Hm
Idk
Guest maybe
guest will be added in later updates
this suggestion is how to tie in hn2 with hnvr specifically
Add more book secrets
too much
Yea
I added it to the suggestion
Thanks

Wait so about the cult
Its unlikely its going to be removed but like why is it back?
Wdym
The cult was already gone by the time hnhs takes place
At least in the books
Yea couse its not supposed to be active
The games never had the cult
If we are making hn2 canon how would we justify the cult being back?
So just say they should remove any cult refferences
In mayors house
And gerda's
I changed (optional) to (unlikely)
I mean they maybe could but it might not work but so work out so well
Imma be honest hn2 at best would be mixed lore
Well they cant
Then
The game will not be canon
Wdym?
To either timelines
The games dont mention the cult
True
Except hn2
I agree but its unlikely
I just want the games to just connect into eachother at this point
In beta which is very likely old lore even though its spoiler free
There is no mention of the cult being active
Could
Just be for spoiler reason
But still
The thing is fg plot heavily relies on the cult
They would need to do massive changes with the content expansion too
#Imbirneedsahome
No😈

Lmao
just swapped 6 and 5
felt it made more sense for it to be in that order
Good

I wonder if there is anything else I could add to the list
Hm
Im thinking
👍
Leaving a messege here so the thread doesnt die
Great lol
30
lets gooo
Oh thats good
ye it is
cult is supposed to be long gone before the events of HN1
bro forgot that the cult existed in reset day
bro why is everyone saying it cant be in hn2
I dont know
ask whoever is saying the cult sohuld not be in HN2
Im not the one who said cult should not be in HN2
but many ppl tend to forget that the cult existed in reset day
meaning that the cult was not completely wiped out
Im confused about the cult as well
Im not confused at all
If they still exist or not in old lore
cuz I read all the damn books
they still do
they are present in book 7
Ill remove them from the post
I listend all nicky books and reset day
i feel
Aslep on reset day not becouse it was bad i was just tired lol
So i might have missed something regarding the cult
I only listend to one aaron book
Though
just edited 2. and 5.
Gonna see what you changed
A thumbs up
oh ok
👍
Wait I just realised
The basement
In hn2 its just a regular basement
While in all other depictions it has a hidden part of it
Ill add the basement to the post once im back home
Im leaving this reply so I dont have to scroll to the top every time I want to edit
I added the basement now
I will fix any grammar mistakes once im home
👍
leaving a comment here so the thread doesnt die
I really want the games to connect to eachother
Wdym?
The games can totally connect with eachother
The main reason hn2 doesnt is because of Aaron
do you want them to connect in lore?
I wanted the games to connect to eachother
So that way there is a consistent story between them
I think removing Aaron could be enough?
It would still be messy but like it could still connect
Im leaving a messege here because I desprately want more people to see this
Hnvr is a great hn game with a great story
its a shame hn2 just ignores it
I really want them to make the 2 games tie in with eachother
Same
What is the suggestions
Oh ok
damn its back to 4
😢
YESSS!!
37 again thats nice
We are really close just need 3 more people
I made a reaction
unlucky
I didnt even know that this was an emoji huh

I made another reaction
same to you
trolled
(remind me to unblock you later if I forget)
why
Yippee
I wonder if we could get to 50?
Maybe hm
hate to break it to you
but
even if this goes to 100, they arent gonna change the story
the current story doesnt make sense
for a "lore master" you weirdly dont care about the lore connecting
I can see why
dude lets try have some faith in EGS
I hope it happens
one of my main issues with hn2 is the lore
it doesnt make much sense
Again It might
there is no chance
There is
no
trust me man
they wont
man of action is the writer for HN2
he'll def want that game to stay connected to his cartoon
unless hes supporting the writers strike
but even if he is, Mr. AlexCEO will always want HN2 to be connected to the cartoon
Okay
devlog
In what way are they working on it
you telling me they havent even started to work on adding new characters and locations?
Planning ?
the story updates to HN2 are already planned are fully in development
they working super hard on adding the guest especially
How do we know
Like just that
you telling them to scrap all that and remake the game from scratch?
what story updates
guest has been the most requested thing since December, and you telling me they havent even started working on him?
Well I hope they have lol
then you're just telling them to scrap all that and remake the game
you think there gonna work on the guest just because people requested it?
which would just delay the game again by more than a year
yes
its literally on the top of their list
really?
where are the devlogs anyways
they show you a list
💀
But hn 2 still can’t fit AS
youtube...
oh..
they'll make it fit the AS
have you guys seen my feedback?
Welcome back to our Hello Neighbor 2 DevLogs. In today's episode, we'll be recapping all of the patches that have come to Hello Neighbor 2 so far and what the future holds for the game.
Be sure to check out Steam for Patch 5, which is releasing tomorrow! See you in the neighborhood.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1321680/Hello_Neighbor_2/
this was the last devlog
Nah I don’t think so that would take more effort then bringing old story back
Since act 3 house and more
its easy
just add the act 3 house and make the rest of the house inaccessible except the first 2 floors
But many people don’t really want that
look
HN2 will stay as it is
ofc they will expand on the story and continue the ending
Yea but I don’t think they will add act 3 house
Not that list
its on the devlog
here
im not even asking for the game disconnected from the AS im just asking it to be connected to the other games
its like you didnt even the read the suggestion
im trying to make it so they have to change as less as possible
HN2 is already connected to most of the games
the only game which its not connected to is HNVR
the basement being a normal one kind screws that up
im asking for a consistent timeline
the maze is walled off
theres no indication of that tho
what do you expect
the guy can turn a cheese grater into a telescope
can he not wall of a hole properly without any clues
that feels more like a headcanon you made rather than something that actually happend
thats prob what actually happened
cuz the basement maze from HN1 was walled off in HNVR
behind the washing machine
ok so, what do you expect them to add?
there evidence Aaron lived here
ok
read the suggestion 💀
Yea it’s likely just a normal basement in hn 2
also the washinng machine is missing
so, if they readd a stupid washing machine, HN2 magically connects to HN1?
Yea it does kinda
Since it implies
The basement is bigger
well then, suggest it dingus
its more consistent
its
in the suggestion...
washing machine is not in the suggestion
I just read it
the suggestion is split into 2 messeges..
Also they should add myas grave
the least they could do is add a bunch of flowers where her grave is
just like hnvr
There’s no proof really
In full game
It could just be it’s a normal basement
Idk why yall assume that its just a normal basement
why cant the maze just be walled off?
like...why?
Because that is the most likely scenario in hn 2
its not
so what?
It’s clearly there Aaron was held
Aaron goes wherever he wants in the basement
you are making up headcanon because they didnt bother to be consistent with the story...
whats so wrong about that?
its just the most likely scenario
since the basement is a secret maze in literally every single time it appears
even in the AS
so, it just makes sense to me that he walled off the basement so the cops wouldnt find it
the main point about hn was the basement
having it be a regular basement just makes the main thing about the franchise lame
so, readding a washing machine would turn the ordinary basement into an extraordinary basement?
Yes
Since it would connect
it would keep the basement consistent
man, the washing machine should've been very special
I’m just being realistic
It would connect more
If the washing machine was in the basement
it was in the beta
Ikr
they for some weird reason went out of their way to remove it
idk
We are keeping this thread alive
tbh im glad we got this much support
I wonder if reaching 50 is possible? I doubt it
you failed
No
ok
Rip thread
Not rip thread
I just want them to bring back the story they were cooking during the beta times
sure is
I got ghostpinged

hi
Hello
So this thread has been dead for a while
But its important imo
Like hn 2 cant continue
we're making the biggest thread in the world we're making the biggest thread in the world cause it's what you want it's what you need
With new lore
it is only problam hnvr follows book lore to a t the new game is trying to follow new lore
we figured out the recipe
I have one with 3000 messages not to be rude but you could be sued thread
They didnt need to change an already perfect story imo
they really didn't
I dont agree that old guest lore made zero sense
It did for me
here is the top
so you dont have to scroll
