For those of you who are new to this channel, a reminder that I've been covering the lore of THE FINALS since the Alpha. Below is the playlist link, thanks for watching! ruclips.net/p/PLSY_LZc1Fkyv3SLMCnAItsFmgGTFgB9rz&si=2sYR9yAUBkAuHMJb
the lore in this game is even better than most fps games because they connect playing the game to also playing the game in a virtual world, whereas a game like valorant has lore, but then there is no reasoning behind the matches. here we see a reason- it's a gameshow. really smart decision by embark
csgo definitely does NOT have the similar lore to valorant lmao, csgo has more realism to it reflecting on real world events, take the operations for example, they used to have a campaign in every operation which kinda gives you an insight to their lore
I do strongly believe that Scotty and June being AI voices might actually be an intentional design choice. Not just a cheap solution to eliminating voice actors (background announcers behind S&J are real voices, and I believe contestants are too). I think they're sort of "in on it", and they're programs. I've heard a theory that says The Finals could be a simulation within a simulation, so, maybe.
I'm hype by the lore, the fact that they are AI voices in the game, but I still believe that Real Voice Actor would be even better. I understand that AI is cheaper, and easier if you want to implent voice line on the fly.
Maybe. That would mean that AI either need or want to eat & drink though which would be kinda weird. Scott mentions liking that OSPUZE drink in the new lore vignette, and June has a line when overtime happens about wanting to go get a snack.
Ngl I think Scotty is trying to do something behind the scenes as he’s saying “oh they’re not hacks, they’re glitches” maybe so June doesn’t suspect that he’s doing something
I FIGURED SCOTTY OUT!!! basically there is a cut-seen where the finals is trying to get hacked but Odalia says "If they wanna get famous they'll have to compete in The Finals! Just like you Scotty." and there's a hidden achievement for winning a game without dying called "just like scotty" I believe that Scotty was a contestant that was so good that multico hired him, but in-turn he's stuck in the game. He was the best to ever play when he was around but, when his "fame" that they advertise every time you complete a round was finally fulfilled he got sucked into the companies. Although I don't know abt Odalia but, because of a bunch of other stuff I'm guessing that in order to keep the companies afloat they are using The Finals to get more people that are great at VR to make The Finals gameshow to; in-turn get more people to play, which gets more people found. Creating a true monopoly of human lives. I think scotty was one of the First people to be sucked into it, but i dont know if its all that time that made him "sketchy" or if they had to replace him cuz he tried something. idfk But that's just a theory, A GAME THEORY. ok but srsly the research for this stuff took several hours. :I
I'm surprised you didn't mention Arc Raiders anywhere, as I believe The Finals is set within the Arc Raiders universe. I'm not sure how much we actually know about Arc Raiders lore but if there's stuff out there it is likely relevant.
It’s a popular theory that I too thought about initially, but I wanted to make sure that my theories had more concrete lore behind them. That’s why I focused on THE FINALS first. There’s tons of references of ARC Raiders in the game, but that’s all they are so far. Let’s see where it goes! EDIT: I also want THE FINALS and ARC Raiders to be in the same universe, just like Titanfall and Apex Legends.
I remember how great were the Easter eggs in bf games and since a lot of embark are ex dice developers i hope we will see same level of complex and misterious Easter eggs in the finals too. Love this game
We've already gotten word that there's an EE bigger than the Megadolon! You can check out RockhoundBlack's video on the entire EE hunt for more details.
I find it interestling that in both of the S1 lore snippets we got, Volpe was featured (on this new one, it was just the logo displayed, which on the surface it means to me that the video is someone logging off the virtual space and that’s just the logo of the VR set, but I think there’s more to it) I think CNS may be warning us from whatever Volpe’s new product will be
Such a good video bro!!! I see all the time and effort that went into time and research and i hope this video pops off and gets a lot more views because you deserve it. Keep up the good work!!!!!

There is nothing better than a good video about The Finals and a cafecito
Apologies for that! I went back to full-time job and I simply haven’t had the time I did to make videos. I’m hoping I can make one covering S2 and the start of S3. Thanks for the support ♥️
Man, when i saw that "offline" video i was super upset. I finally got an hour free to play some and thought that was just a fun way to tell people the servers were down
Good analysis. FYI, 6:52 is a direct representation of the Commodore Amiga OS, not C64, indicating some of the founding members' previous affiliation with DICE and their roots in the Amiga demoscene in the early 1990s and beyond. And related to your CNS theory, in Cyberpunk (the old role-playing game from 1988), so-called "Netrunners" are physically plugged into the net and risk being hacked and "fried" by intruders or defending (firewall-like) apps.
i really hope later in the game we get an event where scotty gives it "one last try" in the arena where there he enters the game as a mech or just a normal default looking contestant not like our normal default looking ones but as an adaptation to what the contestants used to look like with no clothes just a basic vr avatar that glitches around the map causing hectic not just another low gravity event or a meteor shower giving us a little more clues on this lore...
If the devs really want to do something never heard of, the VR world being the final (haha) place not completely under the control of some centralized authority, the place where people can still express some individuality, creativity, where their desires matter more than the designs of some centralized authjority for them, something that upset said central authority to the point that they're trying to control or destroy it by any means necessary might actually be a novel plot twist. After all, any time a new communication technology is introduced, there's a "wild west period" where those who control the previous communication techs try their hardest to sabotage and/or control it, and any and every underground subculture will flock to it as it's the one place that allows them some degree of permission to express themselves without heavy-handed repression...
One of the other messages was "One night three dawns", right? I think the 3 dawns could be in relation to like the dawn of someone's career in the finals. Like the bird lady (I forgor her name). The 3 dawns could he her and her team.
I think you should add a little music on the background when you talking or atleast sound effect because we can't focus on your word only (i do music theory if you add music you will be more pleasant to hear)
Brain stimulating stuff as usual spear, tbh i've had a few thoughts as to why we don't know much about "legendary" contestants like Odelia and Scotty, tbh i feel like if u become as successful of a contestant as they did u become incredibly marketable where sponsors have a scary hold on you to the point of being able to sell ur physical likeness, maybe Scotty is cold towards us budding contestants because he knows what awaits those who make it big but can't say anything because of NDA's or legal consequences, or maybe he's in on it, all a plan to mass market contestants like Odelia and himself and CNS sees through him? Idk i'm spitballing but it does make a bit of sense right?
I concur with the marketable side of things and definitely think Scotty is involved in it like you pointed out! It's very early to tell but it doesn't seem like CNS is going after him, but rather, calling him out so Contestants and the audience (we are both btw), question what's going on and try to dig deeper. We'll have to see!
The Embark Devs should add all of this Lore into the actual game so that everyone knows because I guarantee that there's only about 5% of the player base that knows the Story behind The Finals and what's going-on in the background !! If everyone knew, I think it would get a lot more players invested in the game or at least make them stick around longer than they would've normally. I think it's a cool story and I've only recently learnt just how deep they've made it.....Basically, I feel every player should know the story behind all games, why wouldn't you want to add it to your game, why would you only run it outside the game where limited people will see it, leaving most of the actual player base in the dark !?!?
I agree. I've been vocal about this since the Alpha, but Embark has stated that they will keep developing the lore - they just want to make sure the game is running properly beforehand. I'm sure we will get more, just a bit more patience. 😅
@@SPEARHEADPR Ok cool, sounds good, let's hope they do add the full story to the actual game for everyone to enjoy. I think it would be pretty cool if they could do some sort-of Single Player Story Mode / Campaign for us to play through that would help tell the story.....Fingers Crossed !! Thanks for putting the Lore out there for everyone to see in your info vids. !! Keep Up the Great Work !!
If you look closely, the Holtow logo is different ingame and on that weird hack cinematic Normally, the Holtow logo consists : one circle inside two pac-mans around it *but* On the new hack cinematic it has an additional pac-man on the bottom right . *Why is that ?*
It sais insert coin at the beginning of trailers and that could mean quite a few things I also think that Scotty could be the leader of CNS because he it trying to get June to believe that it's a glitch not a hack so the plans don't fail and get exposed (I might be wrong)
Isnt the sound that plays when the "offline" shows up in the lore trailer the same as plays when something doesnt work like a failed revive or other times the game buggs?
Could the ARC be the ones trapping humans in VR to harvest them ? And the “raiders” outside the finals are CNS trying to wake contestants? Can Scotty be some sort of Advance ARC AI
I personally do not subscribe to ARC Raiders theories, and so far all we've had are subtle references/nods to that game. But it's fun to theorize about it, so by all means!
@@SPEARHEADPR yeah this is my first video I watched from you, went to check other videos and thats just what I assumed since most if not all have music too.
Listening to ur thoughts, I think I finally come to some sort of a theory: Since The Finals are set in the future, where capitalism rules and technologies are very advanced, what if June and Scotty are AI's or scans of their personalities (constructs)? But they don't realize it OR they do, but they don't care (I don't think that an AI would like to drink anything, but here we have Scotty drinking OSPUZE juice). Just think about it: it's more profitable for the Company to make an AI construct of people they need (Scotty as legendary contestant turned commentary and June as the one who controls arenas and events) then hiring actual people. About the Trickster (Odilia): I think wasn't popular like Scotty, but popular enough to sell her face and style (like come on, it's very fitting for some big company in order to maximize profits, even if the contestant is gone, to literally sell her.)
Personally, I don’t subscribe to this theory even with the small nods/references we’ve had, and I would like these to be separate IPs. But it’s always fun to theorize! Thanks for watching.
Hey Spear, the Finals is a really fun game but I can't help but notice the queue times are getting longer and longer. Do you think the game is dying? Why or why not?
The story basically didn't progress to be honest, you can watch my latest video about CNS which covers tons of details from S1 to the end of S3. Sadly, S4 just gave us a bit more insight on certain sponsors but maybe there'll be more to look at in the last lore vignettes ramping up to S5. Thanks for watching!
I do not have one planned at the moment. But if I make one, I would probably focus on Petronelle Plaza (glass building with the elevator in the middle).
i really like how the game isn't subtle about its anti-capitalist stance. like honestly it's just as critical of it as cruelty squad without all the slopcoin
Well you have seen people historically having a kinds dark coloured background to that matches their sinister motives or potential etc etc whuch jut cream "We're evil!". The colour themes present in the even those movie clips that you used in this video has em. But then again the colour them of Red, White and Blue have always been the banners of "knights in shining armor" whereas in actuality their false bravado hides a much greater evil in forming to beat the lesser and more transparent evil, that is when you compare appearances and ideologies. Now I'm not saying these are evil and good but for some context lemme give you some examples, Matrix, Player Number One, The Pixels that was colorful but it showed us the destructive potential of our once prized stuff is not always prized and moving on is essential else they'll consume us, The Hobbit, TLOR. Now to a more historical context simply put The Crusades as noble as they were claimed to be, the Crusades turned out to be really a blemish on European Christian history, fast forward we have The Nazis, we all know how stylish and transparent they were, they even had skulls on their caps with a weird symbolism that's a dark but stylish background with its evil roots hidden while it lasted, when Allies liberated Europe they found those camps and all of that, then we have the Cold War, Soviet Union and the West there you have another artistic interpretation if you ignore the historical coincidences to your interpretations. So yeah like those few, The Finals could be possobly using the colour and bright themes to hide something far more sinister, I mean when was the last time you saw the colour yellow being not dark with the story based background.

I wanted to mention that tier 32 of the new battle pass might hint to some new sponsors and their logos.
KEEP UP THE AMAZING CONTENT 🎉🎉🎉

The lore behind the valorant matches is that the Omega and Alpha universes are fighting for control of the radianite
@@Actoos So they play matches of CS:GO for control of an element?
@@coffeenair yes that's the exact same thing as the lore of csgo but the lore is actually good
csgo definitely does NOT have the similar lore to valorant lmao, csgo has more realism to it reflecting on real world events, take the operations for example, they used to have a campaign in every operation which kinda gives you an insight to their lore
“S Lies”

They are A.I voices?
@@cuddlecakes7153 Scott & June are yeah, it becomes extremely obvious when they say things like "woah", "wow", "yowzah" and so on
trueeee

The Finals is still called discovery.exe in task manager
😮
Wake up, SPEAR just uploaded!
Yessir!
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Ngl I think Scotty is trying to do something behind the scenes as he’s saying “oh they’re not hacks, they’re glitches” maybe so June doesn’t suspect that he’s doing something
never forget to grab your cafecito
Lock and loaded. ☕️
Easily the best lore content for THE FINALS out there ❤
I honestly think Spear is outperforming himself on each presentation. This analysis is a 100.
thank you! i have almost no time to play, so having someone like you to understand the lore is amazing
I’m glad my videos can help you enjoy the game even more! Thanks for watching. ♥️
My dream is for The Final to become a very famous game, with real companies like Razer, Logitech, Asus ROG, etc as sponsors
Love the video SPEAR! I've really not been keeping up with the lore of this game, so this community helps a tonne with breaking things down
Spear is drinking that OSPUZE Pro Juice with this one
I hope this game blows up so amazing creators like you can get the recognition you deserve.
I FIGURED SCOTTY OUT!!! basically there is a cut-seen where the finals is trying to get hacked but Odalia says "If they wanna get famous they'll have to compete in The Finals!

But that's just a theory, A GAME THEORY.
ok but srsly the research for this stuff took several hours. :I
I didn't know I needed a Finals lore guy until now. Great stuff.
Subbed...keep it coming

I didn’t expect this video to go deep into the lore of the finals. great video
Love your content man, this game is quite a refreshing take in the FPS multiplayer sphere plus the aesthetic is nutworthy. +1 subscriber
Great analysis spear. I really like how you break it down for the viewers.
Damn I love this game and I wish it can hold on and get a nice base players and a big nice community of hammering houses heavies while cashing in
Amazing.! I think you really nailed it on these theories! Can't wait for MORE
I 100 percent agree with this. The finals has to take place in some sort of dystopian future America. It just seems so eerie sometimes times.
I find it interestling that in both of the S1 lore snippets we got, Volpe was featured (on this new one, it was just the logo displayed, which on the surface it means to me that the video is someone logging off the virtual space and that’s just the logo of the VR set, but I think there’s more to it)

There is nothing better than a good video about The Finals and a cafecito
you are too cool for school!!!!!
I wasn’t invested in the lore of The Finals whatsoever UNTIL NOW. Great video!
No, YOU are too cool for school! ❤️
Last time I checked you were at 3.6k subs… Congrats on 4k!
Great Video How always!! Keep up making this Kind of Videos!
"Grab your cafecito" just as I'm about to take my fist sip... Love it lol
Awesome Video looking forward to more on this as it unfolds
This is brilliant! Keep it up :D
All the conspiracy cosmetics make so much more sense now
I still enjoy my cafecito watching your videos, keep it up!
Theory: The devs just put stuff in and choose their favorite fan-interpretation to use as lore xd
loved the vid dude, keep it up!
So CNS might be telling us to go touch grass?
all jokes aside, great video, I enjoyed it a lot!
Season 3 is upon us and we haven't got any new lore vids man wya your the only person doing thorough breakdowns
Apologies for that! I went back to full-time job and I simply haven’t had the time I did to make videos. I’m hoping I can make one covering S2 and the start of S3. Thanks for the support ♥️

SPEAR I LOVE UR VIDS
Great video keep it up!
amazing as always
To me, players are prisoners who are forced to fight in the virtual arena to gain freedom and loot. the sponsors may be penitentiaries.
I really like the storytelling, it reminds of the soulsborne games and their way of handling the story.
Yes, definitely watched it all and I can confirm it is a spear classic 👍
Love this! U r a great storyteller
Good analysis. FYI, 6:52 is a direct representation of the Commodore Amiga OS, not C64, indicating some of the founding members' previous affiliation with DICE and their roots in the Amiga demoscene in the early 1990s and beyond. And related to your CNS theory, in Cyberpunk (the old role-playing game from 1988), so-called "Netrunners" are physically plugged into the net and risk being hacked and "fried" by intruders or defending (firewall-like) apps.
Yes, I spotted the Amiga 500 boot workbench after making the video. 😅
Love this game and this coming lore. Can't wait for new season and new updates from u❤
i really hope later in the game we get an event where scotty gives it "one last try" in the arena where there he enters the game as a mech or just a normal default looking contestant not like our normal default looking ones but as an adaptation to what the contestants used to look like with no clothes just a basic vr avatar that glitches around the map causing hectic not just another low gravity event or a meteor shower giving us a little more clues on this lore...
imagine embark making a VR version of the game
love the video btw
Best cyberpunk multiplayer game
Scifi ≠ cyberpunk
I wanna see how deep this lore is gonna get!
Banger of a Video
I just found you and now i follow you

Wow...you work hard for this
One of the other messages was "One night three dawns", right? I think the 3 dawns could be in relation to like the dawn of someone's career in the finals. Like the bird lady (I forgor her name). The 3 dawns could he her and her team.
Wake up boys. The Finals lore video just dropped
That's my secret, always have my cafecito with me
I think you should add a little music on the background when you talking or atleast sound effect because we can't focus on your word only (i do music theory if you add music you will be more pleasant to hear)
That’s a good tip.
The 80s connection was a good catch, since the new season looks like it is inspired by old 80s retro tech and art, i wonder how that theme is related
Odelia is like Frankenstein from Death Race series where you see the person change but not the identity
There is something strange going on in the world of the Finals. A mystery, things are there for a good reason and there are clues everywhere.
Hello Spear
I always thought the story was, “what if we took the Hunger Games and made them less demented and more fun?”
Brain stimulating stuff as usual spear, tbh i've had a few thoughts as to why we don't know much about "legendary" contestants like Odelia and Scotty, tbh i feel like if u become as successful of a contestant as they did u become incredibly marketable where sponsors have a scary hold on you to the point of being able to sell ur physical likeness, maybe Scotty is cold towards us budding contestants because he knows what awaits those who make it big but can't say anything because of NDA's or legal consequences, or maybe he's in on it, all a plan to mass market contestants like Odelia and himself and CNS sees through him?

Thanks for putting the Lore out there for everyone to see in your info vids.
!! Keep Up the Great Work !!
When we getting more vids bro.
Hopefully soon! Sorry, IRL and work have been a priority lately ♥️
If you look closely, the Holtow logo is different ingame and on that weird hack cinematic
Normally, the Holtow logo consists :
one circle inside
two pac-mans around it
*but*
On the new hack cinematic it has an additional pac-man on the bottom right .
*Why is that ?*
I believe it’s just a stylistic choice. The official Holtow logo is the “complete” one as it appears on official images.
It sais insert coin at the beginning of trailers and that could mean quite a few things
I also think that Scotty could be the leader of CNS because he it trying to get June to believe that it's a glitch not a hack so the plans don't fail and get exposed (I might be wrong)
Comprehensive Season 1 lore video when?
Isnt the sound that plays when the "offline" shows up in the lore trailer the same as plays when something doesnt work like a failed revive or other times the game buggs?
Yes, it’s a sound in-game for when you connect to Voice Chat. It’s also the sound for when you press the letter “K” while in the Credits section.
Thx I just started playing and I was like, looooooooooore
Have you seen the hacking lore video that played before you launched the game this last update?
Im excited from the devs who made the megalodon easter egg
One of those companies is not who they say they are.
Ye new episode!
Could the ARC be the ones trapping humans in VR to harvest them ? And the “raiders” outside the finals are CNS trying to wake contestants? Can Scotty be some sort of Advance ARC AI
I personally do not subscribe to ARC Raiders theories, and so far all we've had are subtle references/nods to that game. But it's fun to theorize about it, so by all means!
why didn't you add background music to this video makes it feel more like a presentation than all your other videos.
Tbh this was just a hiccup, but I’ll make sure future ones do. Thanks for watching.
@@SPEARHEADPR yeah this is my first video I watched from you, went to check other videos and thats just what I assumed since most if not all have music too.
GOOD VIDEOOO
Let’s go business!
The Finals takes places in a Black Mirror episode. I have no proof but I have no doubt.
Oh yeah! Black Mirror is also a classic example of this type of narrative.
Listening to ur thoughts, I think I finally come to some sort of a theory:
Since The Finals are set in the future, where capitalism rules and technologies are very advanced, what if June and Scotty are AI's or scans of their personalities (constructs)? But they don't realize it OR they do, but they don't care (I don't think that an AI would like to drink anything, but here we have Scotty drinking OSPUZE juice).
Just think about it: it's more profitable for the Company to make an AI construct of people they need (Scotty as legendary contestant turned commentary and June as the one who controls arenas and events) then hiring actual people.
About the Trickster (Odilia): I think wasn't popular like Scotty, but popular enough to sell her face and style (like come on, it's very fitting for some big company in order to maximize profits, even if the contestant is gone, to literally sell her.)
do you think there could be a connection between The finals storyline and the future ARC Raiders game? maybe there is a connection?
Personally, I don’t subscribe to this theory even with the small nods/references we’ve had, and I would like these to be separate IPs. But it’s always fun to theorize! Thanks for watching.
The finals is a lure to arc raiders
Hey Spear, the Finals is a really fun game but I can't help but notice the queue times are getting longer and longer. Do you think the game is dying? Why or why not?
Maybe we are the experiment, this game is addictive. This game could be a metaphor.
We need new lore update now that season 5 is getting closer and closer
The story basically didn't progress to be honest, you can watch my latest video about CNS which covers tons of details from S1 to the end of S3. Sadly, S4 just gave us a bit more insight on certain sponsors but maybe there'll be more to look at in the last lore vignettes ramping up to S5. Thanks for watching!
Where are you from brother? I loved your "cafecito" accent
I’m from Puerto Rico. ♥️
@@SPEARHEADPRamazing! Support from Paraguay, love your content!
i just got a new cutscene today
Maybe the hacks are going to be like Bots will join the game randomly and fight players
Is the Seoul map also based on real life or is it just skyscrapers?
Per my investigation it is, around the Bank of Korea Money Museum site.
@@SPEARHEADPRah nice to know. Will you make a video about the Seoul map or isn’t it planned?
I do not have one planned at the moment. But if I make one, I would probably focus on Petronelle Plaza (glass building with the elevator in the middle).
where do you get the music do you record it in game or is it on any music app
I record it in-game. You can also search for it on YT, they’ve been posted by others!
What is that mask in Tyne thumbnail😅
It's one of the cosmetics from the Closed Betas.
i really like how the game isn't subtle about its anti-capitalist stance. like honestly it's just as critical of it as cruelty squad without all the slopcoin
How do i see those Easter Eggs?
I recommend watching RockhoundBlack’s videos on YT. He goes in-depth about the EE hunt!
Well you have seen people historically having a kinds dark coloured background to that matches their sinister motives or potential etc etc whuch jut cream "We're evil!". The colour themes present in the even those movie clips that you used in this video has em. But then again the colour them of Red, White and Blue have always been the banners of "knights in shining armor" whereas in actuality their false bravado hides a much greater evil in forming to beat the lesser and more transparent evil, that is when you compare appearances and ideologies. Now I'm not saying these are evil and good but for some context lemme give you some examples, Matrix, Player Number One, The Pixels that was colorful but it showed us the destructive potential of our once prized stuff is not always prized and moving on is essential else they'll consume us, The Hobbit, TLOR. Now to a more historical context simply put The Crusades as noble as they were claimed to be, the Crusades turned out to be really a blemish on European Christian history, fast forward we have The Nazis, we all know how stylish and transparent they were, they even had skulls on their caps with a weird symbolism that's a dark but stylish background with its evil roots hidden while it lasted, when Allies liberated Europe they found those camps and all of that, then we have the Cold War, Soviet Union and the West there you have another artistic interpretation if you ignore the historical coincidences to your interpretations. So yeah like those few, The Finals could be possobly using the colour and bright themes to hide something far more sinister, I mean when was the last time you saw the colour yellow being not dark with the story based background.
