valid Alternate Controls

What would make the downloadable client even better (for Tanki and TankiX) would be to make them have the ability to interface with Xbox, and/or PS4 console controllers. This would provide a whole new aspect of the game, including being able to transfer the game all together onto consoles. It has been done for hundreds of other games such as Fortnite and World of Tanks.

Valid

 

You mean just the ability to use a controller for Tanki, or actually being able to play the game on consoles?

[maryam98 1,171]

Well they can'tmake it possible to play on consoles before mobile version,  that would cause a full-blown mutiny

To answer your question Maf, yes. Being able to play with the controller and eventually introducing the game to consoles.

So I can actually play this on a TV?  If so, great!

[21985_the_master 422]

Yeah it could be awesome!!!

[r_Kirby4 358]

Costly.

Costly.

Why would it be costly?

I am sure that the developers of Tanki have raised awareness to this idea, however I have been attempting to introduce Tanki to friends, however it is difficult to do primarily due to this reason,

Many people use game consoles when running games because of multiple reasons

• The console is fast ( and Tanki wold be plenty capable of running smoothly otherwise)
• The player has a handheld controller in their hand
• It would be more convenient to have on a larger screen with a gamer type setup 

I believe the first step to raising even more awareness to the game would be to to apply the game file to both:

as well as

Overall I believe that adding Tanki online to game consoles will by far raise awareness to the game itself better than ever before.

Please take the time to think about this idea and if it is possible, if it is, this game has the potential to be used by millions of users.

This would be a great idea, I accidentally made a post on this too but if it is available on consoles then it would blow up with players. I probably could route the keyboard controls with a Bluetooth controller if I really wanted to, but overall, tanki on a console. Also, a while ago I came up with the idea of putting tanki on mobile and it works great, thank you!

Greetings Tankers and Game Creators!
Tanki Online, has been of great success for Desktop Gaming. From the Thunder Shell to Isida's Electricity, it has been fun for all audiences. But, a new question arises-

Is it possible to create compatibility for this game with the Next-Generation consoles?

The answer is simple and clear to all of us. APL would be very foolish not to create a client for gaming consoles like the PS5 and the XBOX Series X.

Since the release date of this stellar game on June 4, 2009, it has been clear to all of us that APL has the talent of bringing this different world to life. Another great example of this belongs with the 2017 creation of Tanki X. Now, I know what you're thinking:

Didn't Tanki X shutdown in early 2020?

And yes, you are correct. Indeed it had shutdown earlier this year. While the reason may be the shortage of players or a completely out-of-this-world excuse, it is clear that Tanki X was a great try. They pursued a great trial at what Tanki Online would look like with stunning graphics. And for that reason, is why APL should try this again. One last time.
With that being said, APL has a great opportunity to make Tanki shine in a way never seen before.
Tanki Online should most definitely make an appearance on the next generation consoles.

And while it might seem a bit odd with the controls, it arises a new challenge for the players and the Game Creators.

HOW?!

While we may not know the answer to that question, the hope is that someday we will.

But, with all of this, from the bottom of my heart, I hope y'all will have a great day.

Good Day Tanki Online,
-PS5, a Tanki Online player. [PS: I am in no affiliation with Sony.]

I actually like the idea. It would be interesting and fun if we could play Tanki Online on Consoles. Though certain problems would arise, but I personally believe it would be worth it.

[PS5 1]

You have the idea! Maybe this would be a possible article in your newspaper? Maybe you could also see to getting a survey done for who agrees/disagrees with this?

[PS5 1]

In addition to this, being a newspaper article Reporter for Tanki seems neat. How does one become a Newspaper Reporter, if you wouldn't mind me asking?

[Maf 32,306]

@PS5 Please keep in mind that the primary language on this forum is English, so you do not need to translate your post to multiple languages. What's more, posting so much text (and a huge unnecessary image) makes your post occupy too much space, which is basically spam. Please don't add any unnecessary info in your posts.

[PS5 1]

Maf, I will bear such in mind. My apologies.
