In reading about it some more--
I feel that makes the most sense.

Yeah, I can't tell whether or not I wasted 8 dollars because this shit is nerve wracking enough to potentially prevent me from playing extensively. It forces your concentration because the camera feeds are replaced with audio. EVERYTHING is sound based, so you have to concentrate to levels that are easy to break with a jump scare. Also, all of the key sounds are excessively quiet, except the little Fredlings. It's impossible to play in a room with normal ambiance. Completely quiet rooms or headphones are a must.

I don't see any fundamental difference from Scott releasing a demo to Youtubbers and companies- video game or otherwise- releasing their own sneak peeks to private journalism outlets or conventions, and I've never heard the argument the the public is entitled to the same kind of access to unreleased content that these private entities are. Scott knows that a great deal of his success and advertising is the result of LPers showcasing the game for him, particularly since he's fighting both the backlash of his success and the franchise's creep factor in terms of maximizing sales, so it makes sense to strike a deal wherein their access equals more PR for him.
FNAF 4 is both based on sound game design and finished. Sonic 06 wasn't.

Once WB sends out real announcement articles and details, I'll reopen this thread. Until then, don't run away with rumors, especially those originating on Twitter.

I'm definitely going to watch Markiplier slave away through it, but I'm also wondering whether or not I want to go in blind first and play it myself to keep things as a surprise.

Hearing Adam Sandler was in this cinched the fact that it was going to be terrible and that I would never willingly spend a dime on it. Hell, even people in Sony's workspace think he has nothing to offer the company anymore.

I also love how Razz just straight up told us some of the baseline mechanics. While we guessed accurately that there was simulated movement wherein clicking on other places changed the perspective, I also like the revelation that the audio is done in such a way that you can appropriately hear the animatronics coming this time (variable volume I suppose.) I also like the balancing act aspect to it, in that if an animatronic is at your door, you can hear it breathing and must shut the door long enough for it to leave, although this could lead you open to attack from the other side. I like that; reminds me of the shenanigans in 2 which I still find the most fun to play.
Also, anyone betting on something being under the bed? Because I bet a Freddy is under the bed (given my lucid dreaming hallucinations last night which are never wrong.)

I guess we now know why the game's size ballooned so much. Animatronics now have multiple jump scares! Neato. Also, it's more audio cue driven, which is an element I really liked about the first in hindsight. Curious as to what the "gimmick" is, if we haven't already deduced it from discussion. I'm also happy and dreadful to hear that it's more difficult. I like a good challenge, but I can't beat 3. xDD
Edit: Just now realizing Bonnie can seemingly come from multiple sides. While the trailer suggests he can only come from the right, Razz opens the left door and is greeted by an angry-ass rabbit. These things are probably gonna be like Springtrap on overdrive. D8

Yeah, I'm pretty sure everything in the trailer is computer generated. We've long since been able to achieve decent photorealism in CGI.
As for the song, it's called Crystals by Monsters and Men. I had to look it up too. xD

We've got a full trailer for The Good Dinosaur now. Feels like How to Train Your Dragon mixed with Where the Wild Things Are.

Nepenthe added a post in a topic Police Brutality Thread: Sandy Bland, Black Lives Matter activist, mysteriously dies in jail cell two days after arrest
Body cams are not an end-all be-all solution because they don't address the lack of oversight police have which allows them to hide or fail to record footage nor biased indictment juries who don't give a fuck even when the crime is right on camera. Police are surrounded by cameras 24/7 and that hasn't made a notable difference in actually jailing these bastards.

The FazbearVerse has a nice ring to it. Granted, I wonder how far he can stretch a supposed universe. How many times and places can be affected by the Purple Guy/Springtrap's shenanigans before it just gets too coincidental, even for this series?

"Last chapter in the original story." Sounds like Scott is still leaving room open for continuations in the overall universe, or that's just my inner FNAF fan girl talking.
Also, the actual description itself is pretty straightforward and gameplay-oriented without any real mention as to the location or what's really been happening since 3. It's an interesting change of pace, if only because it highlights the child's identity as being important that much more.
And Jesus Christ that Steam image. Freddy is a creepy fuck.
