...level layouts remind me a bit of Spec Ops The Line and the general feel has a Dishonored and Bioshock feel at times. It just feels like a mish mash of other games which is a shame as the underlying story and idea of the game is pretty good
Sometimes the world reminded me of Deus Ex: HR, other times is was Syndicate (especially as many items were labelled when you got close to them). Both of those games were much better than this though.

It also just clicked that the 3 you mentioned and this are all Unreal Engine 3 titles.

What I noticed was that a standard attack was one button press but the special attack was two button presses.

For example I mainly use the the three triangle combo. I have the second one speeding up the pressen cooldown and the third to replenish health. I find for the second and third ones I have to press the triangle twice for it to work.

My only gripe is the invisible enemies who are poor and just annoying. The rest of the game is fun.
Once I figured out the timing for the combos, the combat wasn't too bad.

I tended to use the health regens in the shorter combos with extra damage and pressen cool down reserved for the longer combos. I think you had to repeat whatever the previous button was for the pressen cool down. I got the Platinum during the summer so don't remember too much off the top of my head.

Good news.

Finally got started on Remember Me yesterday and so far it seem reasonably good. The story is interesting and the style of the game is nice but as with all games built on Unreal it feels very samey.
I am really struggling with the combat. Now i've got to the first boss, and cant kill him. Any tips?

Hit and run.

The first section you can just hit him pretty easily. When he starts firing at you just dodge. Wait for your Sensen Fury to to be available and then beat him up for fun.

Remember hit when you have the opportunity, otherwise dodge until you can use Sensen Fury.

Bit off topic but doesn't seem worth starting a thread over, regarding the cross buys for PS4. I have three of the four titles already on the programme that I got some time ago, but would like to get the final one (Escape Plan) to play on PS4 as I've never played it before and it looks quite a novel game. However, I don't have a PS Vita (or intend to buy one) so if for some weird reason it doesn't come up on PS4, I've effectively flushed £10 which I really don't want to do. So do I just go into the PS Store on my PS3 and buy Escape Plan for Vita as normal or do you have to do something special or is there some kind of cut off date I could fall foul of which would result in it not being available on my PS4 when I get it on November 29th?

PS4 content has now been added to the EU PSN Webstore and I can confirm it does include PS+ content which can be added to your basket and put through checkout at a cost of £0.00 even if you don't own a PS4.

I tried it out with Contrast. The game doesn't show up on my download list via my PS3 or Vita, but it is there on the webstore's purchase history with a "Download to PS4" button which will become usable as soon as my PS4 system is activated.

Managed to confirm this, added Contrast, Resogun and the three available apps (BBC Sport, iPlayer and IGN) and went through checkout ok.

Still no sign of the cross buy games though, hope they get added for launch day or I'm not gonna have much to play really

Still guess it's (very) early days yet since it isn't even out yet.

I already have PS+ on my PS3... but won't be getting a PS4 until at least March 2014. However, I am glad I will be able to 'purchase' any PS4 game on PS+ between now and then and have them sitting ready for me to download when I get one

Just done this myself as well . Pleased this worked out like this as the Blog reply a couple of weeks ago was a little worrying.

As I don't plan on buying a PS4 soon I should have a nice games collection by the time I do.

Is it really just resogun and contrast just now? The store is a bit slow for me so quite hard to tell. I've added those 2 so far.

That's all I could find so far except for those media applications (BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport, IGN) but they are pretty useless TBH as just about every device under the sun has iPlayer these days though I guess it's a start.

Disappointing the cross buy stuff isn't there (tried searching on game title and they only come up as Vita / PS3 and they not in PS4 section either) and making me worry it might not be there for launch. Also there was a really cool looking Pinball game they had on IGN and I was hoping we would be getting, which was free (well first table) but again no sign of it.

One other game they have to buy is Super Motherload, which actually gets decent reviews, on discount for plus subscribers too at £10.79 but I'm torn as I suspect indie titles like this will be the first ones to go free later on with plus so do I buy now or wait....

This lack of content is making me wonder if I should have bought a second disc based game but the prices right now are daylight robbery.

Forgot i had to buy this for my PS4!

Hoping they give us a trial inside the box!

I didn't get one with my Assassins Creed, FIFA or Call Of Duty, and doubting Battlefield will come with one, so I'm hoping Killzone comes with one or they give us something inside the box.

They give (I believe) a 30 day trial Mikey. You'll get access to Resogun and Contrast with that.

And it's cracking value for money going forwards too.

What is Grid 2 like?

I currently have NFS The Run sitting on my shelf as well. Anyone played both, how do they compare?

Warframe is there too if you like f2p stuff.

Grid 2 would be better if there were more races and less time trials, duals, all that other stuff. The races with several opponents on circuits are good but that seems like only one event in five.

I thought Wipeout HD suffered from the same thing.

That sounds like it could become annoying if you get stuck at an event type you don't like and need to finish that to progress to some proper racing.

Do the discounts for PSN games change at the same time as the free games? I'm wanting to get Demons Souls and I'm waiting to see if there are any other games discounted as I have a few quid in my wallet.

Just click the ps4 games and addons button and look for the free stuff. Warframe isn't listed there though. Just do a search if you want to add that one to your download list.
