One of the first video game memories I have is playing Top Gun on the NES. For a fighter jet-obsessed little Watchman, piloting a pixelated F-14 and taking down MIG’s was a dream come true.
So seeing a gloriously rendered F-14 launch from an aircraft carrier, and proceed to engage enemy fighters in a deadly aerial ballet in Bandai Namco’s upcoming Ace Combat 7, is sort of a modern day extension of those early childhood gaming memories.
Besides the fact that this looks like a fantastic arcade-style flight game in the vein of classics like Top Gun or After Burner, Ace Combat 7 will also be fully compatible with the PlayStation VR headset – making it one of the very few games that makes me excited for VR.

Ace Combat 7 takes off on PlayStation 4 in early 2018.
