SOCOM Tactical Strike is a radical departure for the series. In an interview with IGN, Dan McBride, director of development at Slant Six, commented on the new direction they're taking the franchise. "We set out to make a game that exists very solidly in the SOCOM universe but presents gameplay that is brand new to the franchise- it's not a shooter! So there is a risk there, but we are pretty confident that the tactical play will in fact appeal to the hardcores in particular."
In order for gamers to understand the unique play of Tactical Strike, McBride reveals that a demo will be made available this summer. "I am pretty sure there will be a playable demo this summer so people can take a test drive for themselves."

Drdre74, this is a new SOCOM game. Not the one that we released a few days ago.

They have been great with the previews and pre-elease demos - and they are both great games to boot. I love the balance between skill and auto-aim in SOCOM 2. Very hopeful for this one as well!

Well, this new one is very different. The others featured you and a henchman in a slow-paced tactical shooter style. Here you don't control individuals but rather the squad. I don't see myself liking it as I didn't like Full Spectrum Warrior ... but I'll give it a shot.
