E3: Rise to Honor featuring Jet Li

At its pre-E3 press conference today, Sony unveiled a new first-party-published action game, Rise to Honor, featuring kung-fu film legend Jet Li. Little is known about the plot of the game, but suffice to say it features a player-controlled Li kicking copious amounts of ass.

The game features extensive motion-captured footage of Li and an excellent graphics engine. What was shown was exceptionally smooth, keeping a solid 60 fps throughout. The game features both hand-to-hand and firearm combat, and of course you can pull off ridiculous acrobatic manuevers like running up walls and such. This is a game I'll be keeping an eye on the next few days; check back for more details as they become available.

Hey did they happen to have a mock up of the box art to this game? I ask this, because Sony's Gamers Advisory Panel had a little poll to see which cover (out of 5) the fans wanted for the game.

Maybe, I can't really remember. I'll check tomorrow.

No boxart for the game was available at the press conference.
