Sony\'s Gamers Day announcments

A Jet Li game:
Sony announced a new PlayStation 2 game this morning that currently goes under the working title of Rise to Honor. The game will strive to achieve realism mixed with the cinematic stylings of Hong Kong cinema and will star Jet Li, who has appeared in such films as The One, Lethal Weapon 4, and High Risk. Li will be motion-captured for the game, and the movement will be directed by Cory Yuen, who has choreographed fights in several of Jet Li\'s films.
Li will be cast in the role of Kit Yun, the bodyguard of a Hong Kong crime boss named Boss Chiang. After Chiang\'s assassination, Yun is charged to find the crime boss\'s daughter in America and return her to Hong Kong. Yun\'s journey will take him to San Francisco.

"Working with the Foster City Studio team to create a game for the PlayStation 2 has been an exciting experience--very different from making a movie," said Jet Li. "The motion-capture system allows for extremely realistic movements, and, in addition, we were able to use a lot of actions in the game that we can\'t normally put in a film. The results in the final game should provide the player with a genuine feel for the action."

Rise to Honor is currently scheduled for a fall 2003 release.


more to come...

Is this game supposed to be like Dead to rights?? Why is once an "original" game  comes out you see a clone usualy before the original game is out.  Anywayz this games does show some promise but that can all change...

not to be ignorant, but did he say PS2 game? judging by the screen above, it seems to be more for PSone than anything...

I never said it was a PS2 game I just asked if it\'s supposed to be like dead to rights.  Oh and yes it does say it\'s a PS2 game right on the second line.

LOL, that wasn\'t directed to you.. I was refering to the article and the fact of it being a PS2 game. To me, this could be very well a PSone game judging by the graphics... *ugh*

*gets ready to be beaten-up...

The footage isnt very clean to judge yet.And its just one pic yet.Lets wait for more pics.

Gee, I can\'t wait till the second generation of PS2 games start rolling so we don\'t have to tolerate graphics like that anymore. :rolleyes: Yeah, it\'s just one screeny.. but if they didn\'t want people (including me) critising the game then they should have put out a better screenshot.

Looks like crap.. and the game itself doesn\'t sound particularly interesting either.

They haven\'t been working on it that long. The graphics have about a year to be fixed up. I\'m sure that when RtH is released, it will look better.

I hope...
