Tanki Online for Console?

[Sliced 819]

So, this has been an idea that has been mentioned in the I&S section a few times, but I post this topic here not as an idea but as a general discussion of what might happen if the devs stopped being lazy to actually do this.

 

I mean, TO runs on an old engine, which is why it lags with such cruddy graphics, but newer games with 1080p and highly detailed graphics run so smoothly. They could make the game so much more realistic, with dynamic time changes from day to night, weather changes, such as rain, fog, cloudy skies or sunny as can be.

 

The designs can stay the same but with far more realistic lighting, maybe add more detail to the designs. Yes, it would take a few years and we'd all have to start over, but if Tanki wants to, you know, NOT die, this would be great.

 

Imagine not having to worry about lags on console!

 

I think if the developers actually did this, Tanki would be so much more popular. Plus, it lacks advertisements online, which is why it's not too well known. It got a kick start off of being a non-download, 3D, browser game back in 2009 when it was made. Besides, random maps floating out in the middle of nowhere isn't going to keep this game going much longer.

 

We've had plenty of little changes to the game, such as overdrive and space mode being permanent changes. A few maps got added back and the repair kit was more balanced with the recent update. Well, that last one is highly debatable. It doesn't fully heal you as you take damage, which is the downfall, but you don't take any damage as the positive end to this.

 

My theory to that bit was an M0 Wasp could activate a repair kit and you could have all the M4 Shafts in the world shoot him with double power and he won't die while the repair kit is in effect.

 

Anyway, getting back on topic, for a game to make it in the world of advanced consoles and VR headsets, it needs to be more diverse in the systems they can be played on. So, if Tanki, a game that has a huge potential of lasting several years from now, can be made for other systems like XBox One and PS4, it'd give the game a brighter future.

 

More possibilities for changes open up, ones that aren't possible on Alternativa or Adobe Flash. Bigger maps with bigger players, an actual offline campaign, more thorough tutorials, maybe one for each hull and turret. Maybe add in a male British voice to describe things.

 

The devs already made the wannabe TO game known as TX with greater graphics but it's just so bland other than the higher quality graphics. If they have the time to make TX, a trash version of TO AND for mobile, then they can take the time to actually make the game for console, a good use of their time.

 

Believe it or not, console controllers can support all the functions you use here on your PC or laptop.

 

I'll list off the controls for Playstation controllers, since that's what I use:

 

The X, square, O, and Triangle buttons for the supplies. Press down the L3 or R3 for golds or repair kits.

 

Move the left stick to turn the turret, down to center. The right stick to the left or right from a vertical axis to turn the tank left or right.

 

R1 to fire, L1 to check other tanker's MU/modules.

 

R2 and L2 to drive forward and backward.

 

Right directional button to open a pause menu. It wont pause the game, it'll just open a menu to quit the battle, use the garage and such.

 

The up and down buttons to change camera angle

 

The left button for chat.

 

So, it should be clear now that the devs should just get this done! I mean, there are those who hate Tanki and then there's the no-lifers like myself who play Tanki over most other games like Skyrim, or Call of Duty, or Halo or Forza.

 

Tell me, would YOU play Tanki, even though you'd have to start over, if it came to console?

Approved. 

 

-Minor spelling and grammar edits.

 

Interesting ideas here. Also, starting over probably won't be a problem if it's the same game using the same servers and player info and whatnot. Probably.

I think Tanki probably will die in the next 2 or 3 years, But they could make TX better with the things you described.

That's how the controller would look like, one for supplies, tank control, turret, etc
