Godfall PC System Requirements Revealed

Today Gearbox Publishing and Counterplay Games revealed the system requirements for the PC version of Godfall.

StoneyYoshi1953d ago

Interesting how the Recommended Specs don't require a Ray Tracing GPU. 🤔

PitbullMonster1953d ago

Maybe because Raytracing is an optional feature like dlss for example?

Zhipp1953d ago

Ambient occlusion and antialiasing are optional features as well, but typically when recommended specs are given they assume that you're going to have those turned on. I think thats what he's referring to. These recommended specs dont really give any idea of the kind of machine you need to run the game at ultra settings or close to it.

StoneyYoshi1953d ago

My point is that they don't recommend you to enjoy the game with its full graphical feature set. Never understood why so many Dev's exclude the maximum requirements when they release this kind of information.

UltraNova1953d ago

StoneyYoshi

Yeah, I agree. They should provide Max/Optimal requirements as well so people would know what it takes to max out a game.

boing11953d ago

It's not interesting at all. Is there any game that requires raytracing?

1953d ago
Aggesan1953d ago

He's not talking about the required specs. It's about the recommended specs.

ABizzel11953d ago

Most list still don't, only a few developers have started adding this to their spec list.

S2Killinit1953d ago (Edited 1953d ago )

Probably because it's the minimum system requirement. But the ideal system requirements would be a different story.

1080Ti recommended?
That's it?
Not a good detailed sys req list.

Michiel19891953d ago

so they should list every GPU there similar in power or higher? they listed 2 options, one for each GPU brand thats more than enough. if you know how strong your card is or just google a benchmark there you got it.

RaidenBlack1953d ago (Edited 1953d ago )

One list for minimum and another for recommended is an old technique. Many releases still follow this(even Cyberpunk, which was quite surprising). But it needs a revamp.
Look at the listings done by Doom Eternal, Death Stranding, MS Flight Simulator, Watch Dogs: Legion and Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War.
Assassins Creed has been following this for quite a while now.
Offers a comprehensive idea just from the tabular listing.
Edit: In near future, Intel will join the discrete GPU market and in far future ARM will come to scene as well. Devs/Publishers will be compelled to take the multi-tier requirement listing approach.
And that's without referencing VR-hybrid games like Star Wars Squadron, which has VR and non-VR sys requirements list.

Michiel19891953d ago

I dont have any issues with it. I know roughly how my gpu holds up with older/newer ones.
I agree the titles you listed do a better job, especially for more inexperienced pc users, but the INTEL ARM thing, isnt here yet. If they keep one card of each brand on the recommended/minimum list whenever other brands made GPU's will work for me.

Critic4l_Strik31953d ago

Damn, my i7-7700k and 1070 are getting in the minimum requirements area now

Darkwatchman1953d ago

We’re on the cusp of a new console generation. Minimum specs are only bound to increase

SegaGamer1953d ago (Edited 1953d ago )

They say the 1060 is a minimum requirement, but this is never truly accurate. I'm sure that even a 1050ti will run this game well enough with certain settings turned off.

Michiel19891953d ago

ofc it will, that has always been the case. the minimum specs are for a proper experience on low(er) settings. They arent gonna put the card that runs it on lowest with 20fps on the minimum specs.

SlothLordPootus1953d ago

I'm curious as to when SSDs will become a requirement

ABizzel11953d ago

Some game recommendations have it listed now.

I think most just ignore it because the game can run on a HDD so it's not near necessity, but at this point almost every PC gamer should have a basic SSD in their build, as it's a night and day improvement over HDD alone in boot time, and applications.

SmokinAces1953d ago

I believe the latest World of Warcraft expansion requires one.

phoenixwing1953d ago

I'm torn. I would like to buy this game but the always online requirements make it a no buy

NEXUS-61953d ago

Isn't your console online when you use it? - or do you sign in and out?

RaidenBlack1953d ago

I play on my console(s) for several hours without connecting to the internet.
Being an offline game saves a lot of hassle.
IF I am having trouble with 4G or Wi-Fi, I wouldn't have to worry. Coz I know i'll be playing single-player offline games. A single-player game with online requirement is a different story. Will all depend upon the day and the internet.
Varies from person to person.

NEXUS-61953d ago

Raiden - get range extenders, set and forget. Sounds like a unnecessary hassle your dealing with, I understand wired connections are not always an option.

But 4G? Really?

If you're playing a SP or MP game, why bother even turning WiFi on or off? Do you do the same with your mobile phone?

Why would it even be an issue?

RaidenBlack1953d ago

@NEXUS
i think you got that a bit wrong what I am trying to convey.
My Wi-Fi's good and dandy. It's not the quality I am referring to.
But there comes days, right? When you'll simply have trouble with your Wi-Fi. Any number of causes. Weather, maintenance, ISP server problems.
You know very well you can't play MP.
But SP games shouldn't cause trouble right? Coz they're supposed to be offline.

phoenixwing1953d ago (Edited 1953d ago )

I play on pc. I have dsl and the principle of the thing is that a single player game has no business being online only

NEXUS-61953d ago

Raiden - if any those circumstances arise, I'm sure they don't last too long. There's other games you can play, you've even said as much.

phoenix - taking a moral stand is your choice, but surly your PC is always online?

Maybe not, I know mine is - so is my mobile, PS4, Shield and AppleTV.

We're all different - do whatever you want.

Godfall Developer Has Been Hit With Layoffs

Counterplay, the developer behind Gearbox Publishing's action role-playing game Godfall, has been hit with layoffs, based on the latest information.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH708d ago

Godfall had potential. I bought it on launch day along with Demon’s Souls and Miles on PS5. One of the biggest issues I had with this game was multiplayer was not convenient and the combat system would not allow you to cancel a string which limited the combo potential. I still have it on my hard drive but haven’t played in a couple years. Maybe I’ll check it out. As far as the layoffs go it’s to be expected at this point.

Godfall’s PS Plus version asks you to pay to get access to the full game

Godfall released last year alongside the PlayStation 5 and it wasn’t well-received, with criticism placed on the amount of content in the game. Now though, it’s been added to the PS Plus December 2021 games lineup, which is usually good news for developers looking to up their player counts and get people interested in their game.

However, it will be joining PS Plus as Godfall: Challenger Edition, a brand new version of Godfall that only includes three activities that make up the endgame. With the Challenger Edition, you can only access the Lightbringer, Dreamstones, and Ascended Tower of Trials modes, with everything else that is available in the regular version of the game not accessible.

Absolute horse shit! Don't go including borderline demos as my PSPlus games please

Popsicle1558d ago (Edited 1558d ago )

Agreed. If a publisher or developer wants to release a demo then put it in the demo section of the Playstation store as a free download. Do no masquerade this as some sort of benefit to PS+ subscribers. I was excited about this until I heard about the "Challenger Edition."

On a side note, if I am starting the game with leveled up and with "end game" weapons and powers, why would I pay an additional fee to downgrade my characters and start from the beginning only to climb the ladder again. This makes little sense on so many levels.

smashman981558d ago

This is 100 percent on Sony for allowing this

VenomUK1557d ago

@monkey602 It just goes to show what an ill-thought out move this is by Sony as so many people have responded to your comment and it has got a near-unanimous upvote - which for N4G is rare!

I know a lot of people are saying that the Godfall campaign isn't very good but I think it's better to include it and let the player decide.

monkey6021557d ago

Absolutely agree Venom

No point pretending to be the good guy and "save me the time, by putting me straight into the good bits"
If that was an option it would be great, but this is clearly to drive sales of a game that underperformed.
Made worse by the fact the Epic store is making it free on PC too.

thejigisup1558d ago

I agree. I am gonna add that the story of the game is trash, the in game hub is trash, the variety in the game is garbage. That being said, what is being offered is the best version of the game. It has everything you would need to enjoy everything good the game has to offer without inflating it with something that even people who love the game, myself included hate.

Crazyglues1558d ago

Yeah this is some real serious horse shit.... and indeed not what we signed up for when we paid for Plus...

No one agreed to demo's instead of the SONY promised full free games... when we signed up for Plus..

What the hell SONY..!

CaptainHenry9161558d ago

This is why I like gamepass. But I do have a feeling that Microsoft might go this route in the future

porkChop1558d ago

Doubtful. If Game Pass was just a bunch of demos the service would lose all of its appeal. People wouldn't pay a subscription for glorified demos.

SoonDeadByOldAge1558d ago

CaptH: I think MS will go the route of Forza Horizon 5 where they will have the complete game on Gamepass and sell the upgrade to the Delux edition. I’m totally fine with MS doing that.

deleted1557d ago

Confirmed, it's free on Epic Game Store next week too. :\

So the PS5 game we’re paying for, at a now increased price, is actually a demo!?

waderae1558d ago

no. if you are paying full price for this, you get the whole game.

garos821557d ago

ive spotted one of the lazy developers behind this garbage game! hows it going?

Eidolon1557d ago

It's a straight shoot to end game, free if not for a small price compared to the full-game price, but offered for free with PS+. And no, it's not a demo, it's the end-game. lol. The game is actually trash regardless. Warframe is probably better, and it's free. of course lot of MTX.

Kaii1559d ago

PS5 Game is actually the demo of a PS5 game, fascinating sales tac.
Scummy move on both Sony + Gearbox.
Merry Christmas =)

masterfox1559d ago

Well that sucks, at least will be able to try it to some degree, and if is good I might purchase , but yeah I think this shouldn't be offered like a PS plus free game, the developer could it handle this offer totally separated from PS Plus and this would it be seen more positive.

Popsicle1558d ago (Edited 1558d ago )

If you purchase the full game based on this demo, it will only encourage Sony and developers to release more demos to PS+ subscribers instead of the full versions of games. This is a test to see if the demo model is feasible and I personally will not support it.

bloop1558d ago

Hear hear. Fuck this shit.

siLENTEsKI1558d ago

I wonder which moron downvoted you. Probably some Sony Marketing Rep browsing n4g.

1Victor1558d ago

@popsicle it’s time to sharpen the pitchforks and oil the torches.

outsider16241558d ago

Exactly this!!!!! Thankyou.

Abear211558d ago

Agreed, this seems like Sony trying out new “business models” to boost sales for devs on subscribers, very not cool. Basically a glorified Demo is this months flagship offering, wtf.
Where’s the PR depts head at? Who’s idea was this BS? And in December? Laughable.

garos821557d ago

exactly what popsicle said, i would go a step further and add : dont even give this glorified demo the time of day. screw them and screw gearbox/sony for this awful "christmas gift"

oh poor guy , did I offend you in something my crystal man?

siLENTEsKI1558d ago

@masterfox Since when is someone pointing out your stupidity a sign that they are offended? I think "observant" is the word you're looking for.

masterfox1558d ago (Edited 1558d ago )

@siLENTEski

I think your stupidity of your comments towards mine are even higher then, since you are the one triggered just saying, seriously shut the hell up and comment about the topic not towards me then, you little crystal man.

thejigisup1558d ago

You dont need to buy the full game this has everything you need to enjoy godfall. They cut out the stuff people didn't like. If godfall was this version it would be rated higher for sure.

outsider16241558d ago

They also added mtx where you start off at max level. That alone destroy the purpose of progression. Sure you dont have to buy them..but this was a wierd inclusion.

porkChop1558d ago

If the best version of the game means removing 75% of the content... maybe it shouldn't be on PS Plus. Because clearly it isn't a good game.

Seraphim1558d ago

@porkChop - whether it was or wasn't a good game is subjective. However, while the campaign itself wasn't terrible there was no story there. Just a progression from area to area unlocking new suites w/ varying abilities... By the time I finished it I barely even touched the limited end game features the game had last year. Two friends were also uninterested in putting more time into the game. Truth of my opinion be told the best version of this game would have been a MP only title & that is essentially what people are getting with PS+. Except had this been MP from the start perhaps it would have a more robust end game & perhaps system.

That being said I did enjoy the game. The gameplay was good, felt rewarding, etc. Was just never really worth $40 let alone the $70 they came out asking.

It does baffle me some as to why they didn't just include the full game. It wasn't terribly received at launch on PS5 & probably didn't sell that well on PS4... And if the intention behind this from the Publisher is to drum up sales that's a piss poor strategy. As you can see from the backlash. They could've easily done a demo consisting of one sequence of Dreamstones and perhaps one tower run. Or, you know, just given the dam game away and start selling some skins for $3-5/ea lol.

GhostofHorizon1558d ago

I ranted about this in the other article so I won't go I to it again. Just a really disappoint way to end the year for Plus.

I wonder if they plan to sell this version of the game on the PS Store as well.

thejigisup1558d ago

They should, godfall as a whole was a letdown. The game modes they included are the meat and potatoes of the game. Everything else was not so good.
