In the comics Godspeed was, honestly, a tired and used concept. He literally repeated Hunter Zolomon's backstory and motivation (sans the lost legs), except with Barry instead of Wally.

However, since CW Flash radically changed everything about Hunter Zolomon and made him a completely different character, they might as well adapt August/Godspeed faithfully and it wouldn't be a retread of old stuff, like it was with Comic Godspeed.
