no, talk literally became hangouts. For the android and chrome apps at least, the change was pushed as an update to the existing talk app. There's differences between what it is now and what it was before, but it was an update. |

Not that it matters. Pushing a change "as an update" is a detail of how the app database works. It has no bearing on whether it's a replacement or not.
Wikipedia sure seems to think they're different things, and they love to merge articles.
Also if it's not a replacement they sure could have chosen better wording for: "Google Talk app for Windows will stop working on Feb 16 2015. It is replaced by the new Hangouts Chrome app."
