Though to our knowledge there's no Top Gun film remake coming out anytime soon (thankfully), Paramount has decided to commission a video game reboot of sorts, following the success of previous installments, particularly the 1987 game for PC, Commodre 64, ZX Spectrum and NES (don't know about you, but I've got fond memories of playing that one with flight chair and joystick).
The game -- set for release on Mac, PSN and PC -- follows the plot of the film, of course, but expands beyond, courtesy of original screenwriter Jack Epps, Jr. If you're still not confident: doublesix are developing, the folks behind Geometry Wars, Burn Zombie Burn! and other well-received independent titles.
On the gameplay front, Top Gun will feature "large-scale" dogfights, five multiplayer modes -- Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Top Gun, Bombing Run and Capture the Flag -- accommodating sixteen players, and unlockable planes.
Top Gun will launch this summer.
