GREAT BALLS OF FIRE! Top Gun is Coming to PSN

Posted by James Brooksby // Studio Head, doublesix

I gotta do something here, I still can’t believe it. I gotta give you your dream shot! I’m gonna send you up against the best. You two characters are going to Top Gun.

That’s right… Maverick, Goose, Iceman and Viper will take to the sky again in Top Gun, exclusively for PlayStation Network this summer. doublesix is the developer, and Paramount Digital Entertainment will publish the game.



With the help of Jack Epps, Jr. the screenwriter from the “Top Gun” film, we built a game that allows players to relive and go beyond the original film. The film itself uses only a few environments and shows very little actual air combat. So, with Jack’s help, we created fresh action at flight school and added more combat against the Soviets over the Indian Ocean.

Top Gun is a free-flying air combat shooter where, as Maverick, players will blast enemies out of the sky in dogfight battles, obliterate ground- and air-based targets and show off their extreme flying prowess. Campaign mode features three parts: Prologue, where you will be introduced to your Soviet enemy, Flight School, where you will compete against Iceman, Merlin, etc. for Top Gun honors, and active combat over the Indian Ocean. There will also be a single-player Horde Mode and five online multiplayer modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Top Gun (choose your wingman and compete against enemy pairs), Bombing Run (defend and attack mobile bases) and Capture the Flag.

Yes, you can request a flyby.

Yes, the day you can grow a moustache like Goose is the day you are officially a man.

Yes, the development team may have reenacted the volleyball scene many times for creative inspiration. No, you cannot join us.

Any questions?

Too much like Afterburner. If I can't land on a carrier like the NES version, I'm out. :roll:

You liar, nobody could land on that damn carrier...

[MaximusR3]

lol landing on that carrier was the most difficult part of my childhood

i need to go find that rom and see if i can do it now that i have infinity more skills than i had back then or see if it truly is too difficult for non-chuck norris types to accomplish

[saviger]

That carrier still gives me nightmares!

[Timmy_2_Tones]

I broke two controlers because of that damn carrier. I am definitely going to get that old ROM and try it again.

[MaximusR3]

Just wanted to let everyone know that i did it, i landed that bitch! only took me 3 tries too

i think i'm ready for the big time now, i can shoot missiles before they hit me, perform evasive maneuvers (hold left for a second and then hold right, shakes them every time), and i can land on the damn carrier. TLoG, hook me up with a recruiter, i'm pilot material no question about it
