I think this is how tanki 2.0 was going to look before they canceled the project a long time ago, but either way it's not very recent.

That is just a couple of demos relased by alternativa platform years ago.

 

Tanki 2.0 should have been the evolution of the flash tanki we know now, but the developers encountered many issues, like the fact that flash player had not long to live cause his issues with optimization and security, the instability of the "new economy system" based on a premium currency (bought only for money, the rubies you see above) or the inability of most users computer to run the photorealistic graphics the new game was going to bring, just to name a few.

 

So, the tanki developers chosed to upgrade the current tanki a bit by a bit, instead of working on a new version: project was first delayed then aborted and only the demos above and an handfull of props and 3d models/renderings are what we have left of tanki 2.0. there was even a periodic new article regarding "before and after" showing off the new models of the tanks in the new graphics!

 

 

Today, the history repeats. Tanki unity is under development, and is costantly evolving. it has been delayed, it has changed a lot. The only thing we can hope for, is that the game will be launched successfully and there will not be any major game changes like some weird pay-to-win mechanics.

I thought about it for awhile and considered my own gaming history. Considering the Unreal Tournament series, for example, I much preferred the graphics and game play in the original - the subsequent UT2003/2004/UT3 never really inspired me or caused me to spend as much time playing them as the original. Certain games don't benefit at all from the latest graphics and perhaps Tanki is another one of those.

 

While the demos look nice if not many people can play them then it is pointless to try to expect a large userbase.

Any speciffic reasons? 

I think that Tanki Online is specific game because of simple graphics, that (almost) every player likes, but Tanki Online 2.0 looked more like World Of Tanks graphics. So if Tanki Online 2.0 replaced the current one so many players could lose interest of playing Tanki because there are 2 games with almost same graphics and if they never spent money or so much time, they will start playing World Of Tanks. So I think that not making Tanki Online 2.0 was great step from developers. Because they should lose players that were playing Tanki Online before releasing the new version and the others that were not playing World Of Tanks or Tanki Online at that moment because (maybe) friends told them that Tanki Online is copying better graphics from World Of Tanks. I really like these graphics of Tanki Online and graphics are making original game from Tanki Online because It is all simple and this is (what I already said ) thing that almost every player playing likes and reason why they are still playing Tanki Online
