What a silly question, the entire game is about the "AVATAR" project, the box is a sectoid face made out of human skulls, the ending from X-Com 1 implied a lot of things...
Isn't it obvious? They're either kind of splicing aliens with humans, or trying to, or doing something else weird and genetic. There might even be the old "we have a common ancestor" twist from Star Trek TNG. Though I don't really mind. Anyway, it's certainly not an accident and very deliberate.
That and I know for a fact 50% of /tg/ posters have a naga fetish.

For the sexy of course.
Weird, I've been looking at recent videos and the snakes still have boobs? They toned them down I guess but I thought that was going to be removed because so stupid. That will be the first mod I download right there.

Don't understand. What if there's an excellent in-game reason for it? Maybe snakemen are bred by crossing human DNA with something else? This isn't like the boobs on Argonians in Oblivion; not until we know a bit more.

Apparently some people get super triggered when they see breasts. The world is full of mysteries. Prudish mysteries.

So you are saying you want chainmail bikini enemies?
1) I'll believe it when I see it
2) Even if I see it, I'm not going to believe that the reason was written before the boobs were drawn. The boobs appeared first ... any justification was rationalized later.
In unrelated news, with the character creator still not released I had to resort to a different program to plan my dream team.
Full opening cinematic for the game shown at PAX South.

Yup, quite like that vibe too, especially for an XCOM stuff.
That said, something "feels" wrong in the balance of power, the tone, how it's all presented. It feels less like "guerilla resistance against bad guys" and more like "let's send spec ops team to overthrow a foreign government". Not a big deal but the vibe could be a hit or miss. I mean at no point in any gameplay videos I felt like the dudes were the underdogs either. They had uber soldiers, good equipment, near perfect communication and supply chain...As said, feels more like spec ops than guerrilla resistance, or more Jagged Alliance (the game) than V (the TV series, original).

I like it, reminds of old X-Com. Seriously. To me the vibe works so far, it reminds me of V and Syndicate Wars in a good way. It makes sense that if any resistance is to have a chance, they would need extremely good technology and the best men, maybe remnants of what once was.
As to how it reminds me of old X-Com? It's a fresh scenario. Every X-Com game was really fresh. Enemy Unknown kicked it off, TftD changed the mood a lot (though not the game), Apocalypse tried something completely different, with mixed but cool results. They all have really different themes so I am glad this tradition is kept alive. This is a really fresh theme that you don't get to play very often. Last time I did was JA2. Kind of.

Yeah, one thing the game seems to lack is that sense of isolation that a good "behind enemy lines" story needs. Every time you do anything, it's a few minutes of action, then back safe in the womblike belly of your big spaceship with all your friends and fantastic protective technology. I want to have guys stranded out there, OK Zeta team, you're on your own, fuck up as much stuff as you can before you get killed, we'll send a shuttle to pick you up in 2 weeks assuming we can steal one, that kind of thing. More desperation.
As much as possible I plan to dress up my guys with maximum emphasis on "rag-tag", I don't like the idea of them being a cohesive governmental type force either.
