If we ignore the fact it was John Epler who tweeted that -- maybe he was just spectating -- and we think it's too late for MEA, maybe this is mocap for Secret IP? That seems more likely than DA4.
Yeah, too early for DA4. Secret IP - possibly? But since they're cowering behind cover I figured it was probably ME...
And even if it's too late for the core game (which I'm not so sure), it might be for DLC.
Will they be able to use the mocap they've done for me4 in other games? Like, a mocap database, I guess? Or library?

For some animations (where appropriate), sure. We've seen common animations for ME/DA already, and since mocap is expensive, I'm sure they'll try to get as much mileage out of them as they can.

As Hrungr said, yeah. I know some people think you can't use animations between games (especially if the mystical change of game engines takes place) buuut it's not true. When they make any asset it's not really in a format the game can directly use anyway and generally you don't want to delete all that original work that you exported for any given games use. There are animations from Mass Effect in DAI for instance.
Sooo yup, any work they do in MEA can be used (when it makes sense) in any game there doing really. And considering they've been doing that in general since the first Mass Effect (saving animations for re-use in other games) I'd imagine the whole refresh of MEA will also show up in later games. Heh, a whole list of more animations for us to go 'Oh, they've used that before'.

OOooooooo! DLC! That's a winner right there.
Inquisitor: Is that innuendo? Sera: No, it's at the front!

Fabrice Condominas @faburisu That was hell of a week in Andromeda! And when you think it's over...
... you're dancing with tears in your eyes.
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by...

Fabrice Condominas@faburisu Off to Europe. I'll be preaching the goodness of Andromeda in 6 cities over 4 different countries in a week. Excited to show our work
They're gonna be talking about it next week, so... EA must've let them loose. Exciting times.
i really like pathfinder's setting but i REALLY don't like how focused on min/maxing the rules are. it's designed from the ground up by and for min/maxer's and autists. the rest of us normies have to play on crayon eater difficulty just to hit a target. j00t Fires Of Heaven www.firesofheaven.org/

Where did they mention that? The tweet said they'll show the work in different cities in Europe next week, probably to some gaming sites or magazines. That doesn't mean articles will come out immediately. It's basically what happens this week in American cities. I do recall others times where previews or hands on mentioned there was an embargo of some weeks before they can publish the articles. It'd be weird if they waited for N7D for a full reveal and we'll have articles about MEA before.
*shrug* Who cares? This close to N7 Day and I'm happy. We've got, what? 23 days left?
