shinobi602 "It's ironic that many are mocking the animations in the game when it's all entirely from the ground up. All new animations. They're using a brand new locomotion system in the game similar to the things Ubisoft is trying to push with For Honor. It's the body locomotion with locked feet and natural gesturing system.
You can see it in the way Ryder walks and transitions into different speeds and turns. Animations look much better than any previous BioWare game."

"Mocapped."
Even aarynflynn shared some tidbits on what to expect them to share about the game in the next months:
Can't wait to see the combat, galaxy map navigation and a better look at our ship. That plus some of our first squadmates of course(like the Asari I guess). I assume this will be revealed in 2 months?
Aaryn Not all of that will be revealed in two months (what would we share in December, January...), but I hope you like what we do share, and even more so, I hope you feel confident that we'll keep showing and talking.
shinobi on animation again:
"After some digging, you can see some of what I meant. Bioware has brought on some great talent from respected studios like Naughty Dog in the animation department:
-Ricardo Flores (5 years at ND as character animator):
-Chris Ilvento (8 years at ND, now Senior Cinematic Animator at BW):
-Tal Peleg (5 years at ND as Senior cinematic animator, doing the same at BW):
These guys worked on Uncharted and TLOU. And they're only some of the talent brought on board."
on expected races:

It's more just the woeful marketing leading up to the reveal that I think has scattered reception. When all is said and done an November 7th blowout may make the leadup cynicism redundant. But nevertheless the efforts gone towards keeping Andromeda a secret while in the same breath still drip feeding details has not worked to their favour.
As it stands the game is in such an unusual place. Officially we've have so little confirmed, information mostly comprised of art assets, early tech demos, and lukewarm teasers, coupled with off-hand announcements in interviews (like learning about the Ryder family). For the person, regardless of fan mania, who just want's to know more about Mass Effect: Andromeda, the specifics have been usually inconsistent and muddied in delivery. It's really hard to pinpoint exactly what the project is, and about if you're not following leaks and other details (and who says the leaked content, like the survey, are even relevant any more?) the marketing arm for Andromeda is a mess.
If the objective was to build a Fallout 4 style hype machine and marketing lead-up, BioWare and EA have failed. They were probably off on the wrong foot right at the start when they first announced the game existing at all, given Bethesda cleverly stayed mum on the project (despite its obvious existence) right up until the reveal. At least in Bethesda's case they could leverage the "we're not talking about the future of Fallout", but EA/BioWare couldn't with Andromeda. In their case they had already announced the game, and so fans kept asking to see more of something they new existed. And those somethings so far have been bunk.
They just need to get it done and dusted, basically. Give people/fans something tangible to talk about. And if there are concerns and worries about certain gameplay elements and content, they can be properly addressed and discussed instead the vague nothingness we have at the moment.
Reply by Aaryn:
You make some really good points.
I can't undo decisions that were made years ago about revealing the existence of the game in development, so we all have to live with that (nobody more so than the MEA team). And we all know why there's an assumption of negativity - good people like Casey leave BioWare, we don't reveal everything about development, etc.
But I think we're through almost all of that now, which means what we show and talk about, starting with the tech demo at the Sony event a few days ago, should be factual, concrete, and meaningful to fans. That does NOT mean we reveal EVERYTHING, but I think we'll be both better armed and in more familiar territory between now and release.
Anyway, hope that helps.

In that respect I can't blame people for their apprehension and scepticism as to the state of the project, which I'm sure is frustrating to read to those on the inside.
Nevertheless, clarity come N7 should hopefully clear a lot up for those following, and give a more focused, forward moving momentum to the marketing and media.

This is a very computer-nerdy joke. A common type of error in multiprocessing programs is a "race condition", where two parts of the program are racing against each other to change the same data at the same time, when they are supposed to be waiting and taking turns. A common symptom of a race condition is a sequence of data items, like characters in some text, getting jumbled up, out of order.

Jen'o'Lantern @jenofvengerberg I got to interview @macwalterslives of @masseffect fame. So I'd say my weekend at #NYCC was pretty darn awesome.
Mac Walters @macwalterslives The feeling is mutual. It was great to chat. And for the DAI fans out there... Yes, I meant the first "Mass Effect" game on Frostbite.
Tim Smith @torlack When you look at code you wrote a month ago and wonder where did you put those really good drugs you were using when you wrote it.
Jeff Theriault fieldflux when you find them, can you share?
P0 @sjosz Somehow, getting trolled by biomasika today has made today pretty okay. (and he showed me cool shit he's working on), and we talked #space
Graham Scott biomasika Hey bro. I heard you like #space, so I put some #space in your #space.
Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon .@thejustinperez just spent most of his day ensuring that Ryder is naked at the right times. ...and not the wrong times. #GameDevelopment
Justin Perez @thejustinperez Wasn't even for Mass Effect. Just because.
Justin Perez @thejustinperez I've got a college degree, and they pay me for this and everything. Dream big, everyone.
Barrett Rodych ForgedPixels Naked all of the times is the right times.
Jason Hill @lazertuna oh I remember that on dragon age. And all the followers. #resumepoint
Becca W. @wickedcactus Are you saying I can't have Ryder running about in her undies when exploring?!
Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon When exploring strange alien ruins, freedom of movement is KEY.
Michael Gamble @gamblemike Had a chance to show the game off to some really cool people this week! Hoping they loved what they saw
Not really a tweet, but I don't want to create another thread just for this. ME:A Funko pops coming early 2017. IMO that means our squadmates are going to be revealed during N7 DAY
Barrett Rodych ForgedPixels This morning, my build is broken because an animation error says, "bad magic number" #QACurse
P0 @sjosz @ccampbellart is at it again trying to come up with phrases. First it was "out like a trout", today it's "moot like a Groot". Makes sense.
Colin Campbell @ccampbellart "On it like a bonnet" is probably the best one for actually making any sense. Or worst one?
Colin Campbell @ccampbellart I love these moments of "Holy crap, this is coming together." There are so many of them now. #Space
Jeff Theriault fieldflux Now my feature leaks 100% less memory!
Fabrice Condominas @faburisu That was hell of a week in Andromeda! And when you think it's over...
Michael Gamble @gamblemike ...And I ask myself, why the hell do I live somewhere that skips Summer an most of Fall? And snows in October? Oh, yeah. @bioware
