I'm just going to copy and paste my post from the previous page just so more people can see it. It's an interesting bit of info about the game:
Looks like some people have found the numbers 8 and 3 in the source code of the teaser image on Scott's website. Apparently, he just added it in.
There's a theory going around that this could mean the game will take place in 1983.
Looks like we'll be finding out what happened in the beginning. Can't wait for this game!

This means that it will take place before FNAF 2.

Apparently Scott has already given some Youtubers the Early Access demo of FNAF 4. They're not allowed to show gameplay footage yet, but here's a video of Youtuber Razzbowski talking about his experience with the first three nights of the game:

Sounds to be the best FNAF yet!

Yeah, it's pretty obvious that it'll be released even earlier than the 8th now. For one thing, I don't think Steam does Saturday releases, do they? The 8th is a Saturday.

Bah, Scott has thrown it on a audio mechanic? I might chicken out of playing if that's the case, horror games with good audio are the worst for my blood pressure.
Are you positive? That'd be great if it came out even earlier!
I'm 98% positive. Looking at FNAF3's release, the youtubers got the demo a few days before release, and going by Scott's usual MO of finishing games with an insane level of speed, even though the Steam page says August, I'm thinking we'll get it right at the very beginning of August, or the page will change soon.
Also, when the Scottgames page source code changed, people assumed it was a reference to a date in the game. But, if Steam won't release games at the weekend, the the 8 and 7 could have just been a reference to the actual release date, a Friday. Now that it's changed to 8 and 3, it might mean we'll be getting the game on the 3rd of August.

I think youtubers actually got the demo for FNAF 3 the same day it came out, I believe. The game was supposed to release on March 3rd, but Scott pretty much said, "Screw it. I'll just release it today", and released it a day early.
This did backfire though with 2 as that game could have had some graphical improvements if he didn't rush it out so quickly (like not having certain animoatronics seem to come out of the walls instead of the big door in front of you).

How much do the games usually cost? 15-ish? Gotta get myself prepared to have nightmares......sound mechanic gonna drive me insane.
That's an even better sign for us then. After all, it's only Wednesday, still two more days left of this week! It could be dropped on us at anytime.
Took a look at that impressions video. The Audio reliance sounds insane and spooky as hell! I've still gotta stream this when it releases, that's going to be nerve racking.

Dude, not cool!
You said no footage, and the Video starts immediately with a Jumpscare. My Heart hurts now :/
Every game has relied on it more and more, but it looks like sound is going to be king in this game. All my nope.
Just sounds like he's found a way to make the game even more stressful. I guess the idea being the less reliant you are on resources, he has to find other ways of terrifying you.

Here's another impressions video from another youtuber named Dawko. I think he explained his experience with the game a bit better than Razzbowski did:

There's a jumpscare at the beginning of the video. Just a heads up.

Neat. I guess he's not giving demos out to the usual big youtubers this time. Probably just wants people to wait for the game itself, then release a demo on release day.

I was thinking I should go into FNAF 4 totally blind this time. I actually tried doing that with FNAF 3, but I didn't have a Steam account when it came out, and I couldn't really get the game on release day. I had a Desura account when it came out (and I still do), but for some reason, FNAF 3 is still not out on Desura yet! It's been months since the game came out! :/
I just created a Steam account yesterday, and finally got FNAF 3 as well. It's SO much better than the mobile version, seriously. And now that I have a Steam account, I can get FNAF 4 right on release this time!

Yeah, the PC versions are so much better. Scott cut a lot of corners to get them running okayish on the mobiles, but it's better than nothing if you don't have a PC. I've had a Steam account for over 9 years! IIRC, I registered it even before I had a PC.

9 years?! Geez. I didn't realize Steam existed that long. :/
And yeah, you did have a good point about the 8 and 3 thing. It's possible it's the setting of the game (1983), but it could still mean August 3rd, which would be great if true.

I don't hate anything for being popular. I hate stuff for being bad. As for FNAF, I just don't get it.

Razz has an interesting accent that I can't place.
Is it like a Scottish radio DJ voice?

Are you serious?! Holy crap that's awesome! xD
If it's not up by the time I'm awake then I'll be disappointed.
I guess it'll either be up tomorrow or Friday then.

Are you guys talking about the full game or the demo?
SteamDB's release date flag doesn't actually offer any insight into games that don't have a specific release date listed on the store page, plus Valve still has to change release states itself and doesn't unlock games over the weekend. Case in point: Averan, which hasn't been released yet but SteamDB thinks was done so three weeks ago. Ordering Steam's own list of upcoming games by release date is the better resource and you'll see FNAF4 is listed between Ravenmark (6th of August) and Demon Hearts (7th), so it's one of those two at this stage.
Yeah, I was on mobile so I couldn't really type much. I think it'll definitely be somewhere around the 6th, considering Scott likes to release things early to surprise people. Still, it's interesting to see how many updates Scott made to the steam page.
daTRUballin

So it's not releasing on the 1st? That was a false alarm then? :/
No, I think it's a placeholder date. As JaseC said, FNAF4 is currently between two games due to release on the 6th and 7th, so it''s probably due to release on one of those days.
Unless Scott gets trigger happy and releases it suddenly again.
If there's one thing we can count on it's Scott getting trigger happy.
Razzbowski has released actual gameplay footage!

It's glorious..

how fucking annoying is this guy? Christ.
Very annoying. He's trying to be Pewdiepie or Markiplier with the constant talking to the game characters shtick, but it just comes off as obnoxious.
I can't even watch cuz of that dude.
Had to stop prematurely because of the overwhelming obnoxiousness, but from the tidbits of the game I've seen just now Scott really made a hell of a lot of changes from the traditional 5N@F gameplay we're used to. Also that title screen is amazing.
Does it make me hypocritical if I enjoy Markiplier, but can't seem to stand other LPers of a Pewdiepie nature?

Nah, it takes talent to really make that work, which Mark has. And his voice is pure sex.

He has that golden voice. That's why I like to watch him.
Dawko released some videos too. Lots of cool stuff, and I feel like Scott is ready to pull the trigger.
He's been messing with the steam page, according to SteamDB. Last change was today, 4:40 UTC. It might be happening.

I can't believe this is happening. I haven't watched the gameplay footage yet, but I don't know whether I should spoil it for myself or not. :/
And come on, why all the hate towards Razzbowski? He's awesome

Scott put some fucking love into this one. The atmosphere and auditory gameplay is on point.
SPOILERS and whatnot, but I'm loving some of these jumps:
And...uh...holy shit...

Even if you spoil it, it wont be the same as when you see it for yourself. Especially when you catch the moment you need a change of underwear.
That's how I treat spoilers in general.
I'd probably pick Razzbowski over Dawko, but nothin' beats Mark.

Yeah, I'm tempted to watch the footage now. I'm probably going to watch Night 1 at least or something. :/
It's funny because I feel the exact same way about the youtubers
...uh...holy shit...
Uhhhhh... that is making me question a lot of things after hearing all the theories.
