Totalbiscuit goes berzerk playing the demo, and I think he may have converted me. It looks like this may be a good game after all!

My 40k knowledge ain't that good, but if memory serves, those "servo-skulls" are servitors, sort of robots (or cyborgs), that can perform many functions depending on their "programming" and build. Skull servitors are most often messengers, scout/probes and such.Alrik Fassbauer; said:… By the way : What are these "Servo-Skulls" about ? Are they kind of cyborgs ? …
Id rather play ps3 piperun shooter because in them I can actually use a physical motion control gun which actually brings somthing new into it. I wonder if the ps3 version of this has support <doubts heavily> now that would be cööl
Have you ever actually played it? Its not gimmick. It takes little while to get used to but after that I was doing head shots like a vet. Its totally playable. I can easily play the game through with motion controller just like I would with gamepad.I couldn't see myself playing a first-person shooter with the PS3's motion technology for long. It might be cool to experiment with for a short time, but it's still just a gimmick in the end.
Also my friends who have ps3 with motion controllers agree. If they think it was a gimmick why would they finish the game with it and say its way more fun than with regular gamepad?.

Servo skulls are not really servitors, servitors are mind-wiped humans that have been cyberneticaly enhanced, but because there is a ban on AIs in the Imperium, they are "forced" to use humans (or abhumans) instead. Most servitors are (or were) convicts, people who had managed to break the laws in some way (exactly what people have to do to become servitors differs from planet to planet, but you usually have to do something quite bad to be turned into a servitor, like worship false (?) gods, mass murder or similar, but there are also some planets where even minor infringments will result in you being turned into a servitor (unless you happen to be from the right social class). There is an unreasonable high amount of servitors in some fluff texts that seem to contradict a lot of other things that have been said about them). Servo skulls are just small remote controlled drones, that has a very limited AI. Some fluff depicts them as being relatively intelligent, while other fluff makes them seem like little more than programmable drones.My 40k knowledge ain't that good, but if memory serves, those "servo-skulls" are servitors, sort of robots (or cyborgs), that can perform many functions depending on their "programming" and build.

40k should be viewed as a heroic sci-fantasy setting. rather than a pure sci-fi setting. Technology is rare and expensive, and space marines are massive genetically engineered humans, so powerful that if they throw the grenade at you, without removing the pin, you will take more damage than if they throw the grenade at you and it explodes right next to you (source: Inquisitor, though it might just be a slight rule glitch). Many tabletop 40k games end up with several large melees, and space marines are quite capable melee fighters.The "sword-fighting" left an odd impression to me … It looked a bit out of place, because everything else just looked like Sci-Fi to me (apart from the Orks, of course).
