Godfall PS5 Requires An Internet Connection And PS Plus To Play The Game - PlayStation Universe

The official PlayStation website has revealed that Godfall will require an internet connect and PS Plus to play the game, even if you are rolling solo.

Godfall - PS4 & PS5 Games | PlayStation

Buy Godfall on PS4 & PS5. Godfall is a brand-new, next-gen looter-slasher, set in a bright fantasy universe filled with heroic knights and arcane magic.

www.playstation.com

PlayStation’s official website has confirmed that Godfall on PS5 will require an internet connection and PS Plus to play the game, even if you are playing through the looter-slasher alone.

Found on the official website, underneath the pre-order button, there are two caveats highlighted stating that the game will require both a PlayStation Plus subscription and an internet connection to play. This is disappointing to hear, especially for those who would have played through the game on their own. As a whole, this will mean that you will need to spend more than $70 to play Godfall when you factor in the PlayStation Plus subscription’s price on top of the base game.[\quote]

First time I heard this. This is even required for offline, single player. The information can be found on the official PlayStation site. I still plan on getting Godfall, but for me this unexpected and even disappointing.

What's the networked feature in solo mode? Live game world? Or just syncing loot or something?

I don't always have PSN so that's a bit disappointing.

 

[tillbot8]

Not this crap.....please Sony!

 

[Arachnid]

There's one less game I have have to worry about.

 

[MarkMe2525]

We should wait until the game is released before speculating. Maybe this is a restriction for the people that are previewing the consoles.

Edit: another great example of why people shouldn't jump to conclusions.

 

[kingwingin]

I no longer buy games that require me to be online

 

[DavidGzz]

It's the reason D3 PC is vastly better than D3 console so its cool if it stops hackers from ruining multiplayer. I doubt PS plus will be required just an online connection.

 

[JLB]

what? Mandatory PS+ for the offline part of the game?
Is this 2013 again?

 

[ZywyPL]

2013 in reversal, chapter 14.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

We should wait until the game is actually released before speculating. Maybe this is a restriction for the people that are previewing the consoles.

Perhaps which is why I put the question mark in the title, but I have a feeling that is probably finalized and legitimate especially considering it’s on the official PlayStation site. We’ll see.

 

[Iced Arcade]

Again... Roles reverse

Why would it be on the game site though?

 

[cormack12]

I dont think there is an offline. You have to be connected to the servers to play effectively. It must sync or generate loot server side. But I thought this was known? It was always an online game

 

[Danjin44]

If it’s true then it’s complete BS.

Games like Souls series and Monster Hunter let you play the games completely offline, why can’t this game do the same?

 

[Vawn]

Again... Roles reverse

Except this is one third-party game that requires online to play. I'm sure it will be the same if EA brings it to Xbox later on.

 

[Nikana]

If this isn't a mistake, that fucking stupid.

 

[Kenpachii]

They gotta whale there userbase hard because it aint growing. So get used towards it.

 

[Warnen]

They just don't expect anyone to buy it, those req will be fine when its a PSN+ game shortly after.

 

[Fake]

Two more reasons to stay hell of the way from this game.

 

[MarkMe2525]

Why would it be on the game site though?

Good point. I typically like to be skeptical of what may seem like bad news headline fud, when approaching a console launch. There are a lot of people that like to rain on people's parades. We will see how it pans out soon.

 

[Maybe It's Medicine?]

We should wait until the game is actually released before speculating. Maybe this is a restriction for the people that are previewing the consoles.

It's been confirmed by the developer on twitter. "It's not a service game but requires an internet connection to play." Their words.

 

[Concern]

Not really a big deal. We all play connected to the internet tbh.

 

[LordOfChaos]

It's been confirmed by the developer on twitter. "It's not a service game but requires an internet connection to play." Their words.

So just internet, not paid PSN?

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

Why? I mean, this is inexcusable, but surely they must have a really good reason to do so... right?

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Not really a big deal. We all play connected to the internet tbh.

Yep.

This is an online multiplayer. Just more 'concerned' people in this thread.

 

[Ar¢tos]

If it's like Destiny, then everything is handled server side. Character saves, loot, etc. Even when playing solo.

 

[lastmessiah]

Not really a big deal. We all play connected to the internet tbh.

Internet forums seem to be populated by people who rage about things no one else even cares or thinks about. I haff tuh be on teh Interbetz tuh play muh gayme?? RRRAAAWWRRR

 

[DrumNBassDanTTV]

Not this crap.....please Sony!

This, wtf please don't start this bollocks Sony

 

[MISTER INVEIGLER]

For The Players

 

[DrumNBassDanTTV]

Not really a big deal. We all play connected to the internet tbh.

Depends, if like me you work all over the country, not all hotels etc have internet and many that do have poor connections... i take my ps4 and switch with me everywhere... id hate this.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Not really a big deal. We all play connected to the internet tbh.

yup, some drama queens here though complaining.

its still BS though

 

[LazyParrot]

Isn't it basically a Destiny clone? Destiny also requires Plus and an online connection, right? What's the big deal?

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Seems

Yep.

This is an online multiplayer. Just more 'concerned' people in this thread.

Seems like it is even required for the single player mode as well.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

I bet that there will be an about turn on this. I will not be buying this even on a deep sale of this is a requirement. Utter nonsense if the game can be played fully as a single player experience.

 

[reinking]

Glad this is out there. Trailers are starting to make the game look interesting in a wait for a deep sale (because you know it is coming) sort of way but not anymore. I will not support this based on principle.

I guess that makes me a drama queen.

 

[Knitted Knight]

It's a shared world like Destiny I think? Maybe I'm missing something? Same people who have played Destiny and haven't had a problem with it shouldn't have a problem with this one. Unless hypocrisy is involved of course.

 

[Mr Hyde]

This desperate attempt in trying to frame this coming next generation as a "roles reversed" situation from 2013 between Sony and Microsoft, is the most pathetic fucking thing I've seen in years.

 

[LOLCats]

it seems it was not clear that this is an online only title.

Didn't know Sony Interactive Entertainment was the publisher of Godfall?

 

[Concern]

Depends, if like me you work all over the country, not all hotels etc have internet and many that do have poor connections... i take my ps4 and switch with me everywhere... id hate this.

Thats a legitimate issue. But most people are just complaining to complain if we're being honest.

Not a fan of Destiny, so this doesn't interest me either anyway.

You don't need paid PSN to play Destiny, just the multiplayer of course, but you can run through the campaign on your own without paid PSN. Edit: And yes, before it was free to play too.

If this just needs networking, no big deal, but if it requires paid PSN for solo play that's odd.

 

[Skifi28]

This, wtf please don't start this bollocks Sony

What does Sony have to do with this?

 

[TwiztidElf]

never mind

 

[Dogman]

Here comes the concern from countless people with 24/7 reliable internet connections

 

[The Cockatrice]

Not really a big deal. We all play connected to the internet tbh.

yup, some drama queens here though complaining.

its still BS though

Sony team has entered the chat.

Paying in 2020+ to play online is the dumbest shit ever. Well to be fair, it always has been but suckers will be suckers.

 

[Dogman]

You don't need paid PSN to play Destiny, just the multiplayer of course, but you can run through the campaign on your own without paid PSN.

If this just needs networking, no big deal, but if it requires paid PSN for solo play that's odd.

Destiny is free-to-play. F2P games dont need PS Plus for online. Godfall is not F2P

 

[DrumNBassDanTTV]

What does Sony have to do with this?

Sony don't have a say in how games operate on their system>?

 

[FunkMiller]

I have to say, I thought this was a given for this game anyway, so

 

[BlitzerRadic]

You don't need paid PSN to play Destiny, just the multiplayer of course, but you can run through the campaign on your own without paid PSN.

If this just needs networking, no big deal, but if it requires paid PSN for solo play that's odd.

Division 1 & 2 can be played 100% solo and can't be played without PS+. Diablo 4 when it comes out will guaranteed be online only on all platforms.
