It's from a Japanese Mega Drive game called "Zero Wing". When it was translated to English for the European market, they didn't do a very good job with the intro, creating the basis for the "All your base are belong to us" meme[s].

To be honest, I'm doubtful there's many people at all that have played it, so you shouldn't feel too bad about missing out on it.

Duck costume pieces confirmed with the release of the Staff power set.

Hell, I'm half tempted to dive into the AE and throw together a few AV-alikes to put into such a mission.

They should really invest in a priority-based filing system for their reports. Something like:

I have it on good authority that Stuff™ should be expected to be released Soon™ most weeks. Unfortunately, there may sometimes be Technical Difficulties™ that prevent Stuff™ coming out on time, delaying the release until Later™.

After a quick check on the Wikipedia page you hinted at (I'd never heard of it before, not really a fan of G.I. Joe), the only thing common between my concept and Cobra-La is the basic idea of a society of humanoid reptiles (although Cobra-la seem more snake-like than lizard).
Slenszic's people are a much simpler community who do not have advanced machines or technology, making do with only basic tools. The idea of them is meant to be reminiscent of Amazonian or pre-colonization Polynesian tribes in terms of development.

Anyway, appreciate the reference, I now know something more.
And knowing is etc. etc.

Not all of them do. It's either facebook, twitter or the forums, chosen at random.

I assume he means any FX relating directly to the player model. So that would cover auras, power effects and the new glow effect, which simply ignores lighting cast on the player.
What does need Ultra mode are the new reflective surfaces, as they have to map the surrounding environment to work.

On a related note, am I the only one who expected some kind of animation when glowing textures were mentioned? Rather than just a static luminosity, I imagined something that faded in and out, even just a subtle amount. Maybe that's a future feature (*crossed fingers*).

I think the argument is not that mutants == anthropomorphic animals, but that bestial appearances are asubset of the mutant stereotype. It's an effective way of promoting the idea of DNA alteration via chimaerism. As others have pointed out, there are many comicbook examples of mutants with animalistic features; I daresay more than there are with organic growths or bioluminescent pockets of skin. Even CoV's token Mutant is a shark-man.

I realise Paragon's art department may purposely be trying to broaden the idea of a mutant appearance, but I don't think they should ignore the more well-defined area of the origin.

There is no option with-skins option in there (which seems kinda silly). I think what bAss did was simply match up a red skin colour with a shade in the costume colour choices.

My own opinion on the pack so far (still test, remember) kinda mirrors the sentiment of several other posters; the costume pieces, although very well done, feel very specific and restrictive in use. I can't really see myself using many of the options isolated from the others.
The CC emotes are awesome, and the new power seems like a nice extra boost, but considering the premise of the pack, the costumes could have had a lot more potential. Stuff like new bestial parts (in huge demand), a few new chest/belt/shoulder items, some face details and maybe a new aura (dripping pleeeeease?) would help pad this booster out and make a good ending for the origin series.
