It's time for The Great September Showdown. This September is packed with game releases. We need your help deciding which game we should tackle with The Deepest Dive, which is a multi-part game club series we consider the best, most thorough discussion about games on the internet. We encourage YOU to play along with us and submit your thoughts for us to read during our discussions.You have until midnight on Sunday, August 23rd to lock in your vote. May the best game win!

Control Resonant - Releasing September 24th on everything but Nintendo platforms, Remedy's follow-up to Control has players controlling a melee-focused Dylan Faden in the twisted streets of New York City. We previously tackled Remedy's Alan Wake 2 for The Deepest Dive. Full disclosure: this discussion wouldn't feature Sarah Podzorski scoffing at our Remedy-adoration.

Marvel's Wolverine - Releasing September 15th on PlayStation 5, Insomniac leaps into the world of X-Men. Big budget, big expectations, let's savor one of the game industry's best studios tackling one of the world's favorite characters. Bonus: This Deepest Dive will feature guest Kyle Bosman. We previously tackled Spider-Man: Miles Morales for The Deepest Dive.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword - Releasing September 4th on every system (including Switch 2), can Capcom keep their incredible year of releases going strong with the first new Onimusha game in 20 years? The smart money (or should I say Zenny) is yes. Yes they will. This screenshot has the UI on it because this is the cool pick for real gamers out there. We previously tackled Onimusha: Warlords for The Deepest Dive.

Silent Hill: Townfall - One of gaming's conversationally-meatiest series has NEVER been tackled with The Deepest Dive format. This is your chance to fix that. Let's give the new Silent Hill game the discussion it deserves. What lies ahead in the fog? Vote for Silent Hill: Townfall and we'll tell you. The game releases on September 24th on PlayStation 5 and PC.

As always, thanks so much for your support on Patreon here. We're thankful every day we get to do this. We're excited to tackle any one of these options, so go with your gut... or vote for an underdog to make it more fun.

Also, to every comment asking why we didn't put Fire Emblem in this poll: You're smart and right. It certainly seems like it'll be a great game, we just didn't want to tackle a huge game if there was a chance a good chunk of the panel wasn't all-in on the experience. Hope you understand that we're looking for passionate conversations here, trying to do our best. And to every comment asking why we didn't put Garfield - Escape from Monday in the poll: You're smart and right. It certainly seems like it'll be a game, we just didn't want to tackle a game if there was a chance a good chunk of the panel wasn't all-in on the experience. Hope you understand that we're looking for passionate conversations here, trying to do our best.

May the best game win The Great September Showdown!

Onimusha it’s ok I’ll still love you 🫠

McGreevy

nice bait with the boss man Bosman option

Kunib3rt

Show me the champion of light!

Luca Alberti

Voting Control but all the FE fans are right (these are respectively my #2 and #1 most anticipated games for the whole year)

Johnny Magrippis

Excited to see who takes it! Voted for Onimusha, but would be delighted to play along with Control and I’d expect it to win this!

Nik Olson

This allows you to vote for multiple options! Not sure if that was intended!

Chris McMullen

While I'm disappointed Fire Emblem is not on the list, I also understand. As a fan I wouldn't want to listen to 4 people be mid about an experience I'm confident I am going to love. My hope is come the Two Tens that there will be so much love that Ben will say something like "Guys, did we make a mistake not doing a Deepest Dive on Fire Emblem?"

McGreevy

Genuinely wish all 4 were possible, this is an insane year

Roel

NGL, the Bosman bait made me also give a vote to Wolverine. But really I want Control!

The Nute

Very surprised to see Onimusha in last place. Capcom has been on a heater recently and released my #1 and 2 favorite games this year (Pragmata and RE9 respectively) so thoroughly looking forward to any more games they put out.

Riley Hopkins

Putting a sympathy vote in for onimusha just because I want wolverine in an easy last

Dragonhunter

As much as it hurts me to vote against Kyle, I think Control Resonant will be the most interesting game to discuss from this list.

McGreevy

I think, realistically, with outlets like Skillup putting 30 hours into a PREVIEW of the game, there is no world where it works as a deepest dive unless they want to do 4 hour records every week for the rest of the year.

Tyler Hellner

The desire rating for me is Fire Emblem 1, Control 2, Silent Hill 3, Onimusha 4, Wolverine 5

Zachery Lee Anderson

Is anyone else not surprised by the way voting is going? Also, JUSTICE FOR FE!

ABrownSpot

I've never been more proud of this community.

Hovercow

Sounds like there's gonna be some scoffing going on

Ryan Thomas Reynolds

Today I learned that people care about about Story in Remedy games 😅

Eric Reitz

I am also on the I-wish-Fire-Emblem-would-make-sense-for-a-deepest-dive group. That said, the Remedy-verse calls. CONTROL!!!!

Graham Walker

Anything but wolverine and I'm happy. Sadly, I have liked nothing I have seen about that game

Chris McMullen

Yeeeaaah, that's fair. Doing all 4 routes plus the end game will probably last as long as those other 4 games combined.

thejjuan1

Justice for Fire Emblem

Bread

Time to get into the nitty gritty of discussing Doctor Casper Darling!

Patrick G

We need 007 first light level of deepest dive on whichever game wins. Leo actually going 100% was so great for the convo. A lot of deepest dives feel like surface swimming

haru_malu

I am begging the Minnmax community to do the right thing and keep voting for Control

thejjuan1

But without a deepest dive on Fire Emblem. I think many cohorts will missed this game. It’s a shame. Especially that the Minnmax crew, basically don’t play any RPGs. Besides Kelsey and Haley.

Stephen Sosa

Control Resonant is going to win but I still think we should get Sarah on it to scoff all she wants!

Jesse

Control Resonant will be a great conversation, but I would’ve loved to have Townfall. All of these games will have a lot of interesting stuff to talk about!

Geoff Enright

Apparently even though Wolverine is the best at what he does, he can't beat Control Resonant.

Felix davin

I am sorry for people who don't want a Remedy deepest dive.... but it is unfortunately the one true choice. ahoy.

Colin Luton

I did not expect it to be such a sweep!

Dominic Cichocki

Of the choices, Onimusha is the closest to a Japanese RPG (if you really squint and think about it) so I have to choose it. That Fire Emblem disclaimer is such a disappointment to read after the latest Pew Pew Bang episode, too. We really need more than just Kelsey and somewhat Sarah on the RPG cohort train. One more and I think we could really tip the scales on a Baten Kaitos deepest dive 😁

Outlandish Beats

Resonant because that's the only one I have to play immediately.

Tom Brien

I don't buy brand new games and I don't mind who wins, but good luck to you all and may your favourite game get dived! 🍻

One One

I’m surprised resonant is the top vote getter so far.

SunniDee22

I like that Ben addressed the tragedy that Garfield not getting a slot we could vote on.

Lanthian

I'm honestly happy with any of these choices!

Brian W

Democracy continues to fail us. XD

Brian Kargela

Gosh, I thought better of you all.

sayteehee

Thank god control is leading. I was worried Wolverine was going to win because marvel

Eric Reitz

Welp, I got a physical for Control, so I guess I'll be watching the deepest dive later, more time for Wolverine and Fire Emblem.

JcKai

Control all the way baby! And it just had an announcement of going gold

Jarell Pryor

There's a chance I only play Wolverine. But I would really like to experience Control, what better way than a Deepest Dive?!

Kapsilon

I really wanted Onimusha as a follow up to the original's Deepest Dive, but Control should be a lot of fun.

Xavier Perez

Not going to beat a dead horse so I’ll just say I would love a Max Spoilers for Fire Emblem sometime later in the year, and in the meantime a Silent Hill or Control Deepest Dive would be great.

ArcticFlamingo

This is actually such a hard thing to vote for, Wolverine felt like it wasn't even in the running until you mention that Kyle would be part. I feel like I'd be missing a full 30 min conversation on Logan's body hair.

Gérard Depar-duh

Was it going to be anything other than Resonant?

Toby Martin

I voted for Wolverine and Onimusha (currently the losers 😂) because I was going to do Control but the physical game is delayed by a few weeks!

Derek Galatovich

I haven't played a full remedy game yet. I bounced off of Control a long time ago, but I really think I'd like it, just gotta give it another try. That being said, I voted for Control Resonant here, as I feel like it would spawn the most interesting conversations for a format like deepest dive, of these selections.

Adam Hayes

I’m okay with Control Resonant winning. I’ll play Wolverine, and listen to the Deepest Dive of the game I don’t have time to play.

Eric Selvage

Control Resonant but you gotta wait for us physical media sickos (aka start in October, not September)

Eric Selvage

Does the physical release delay make this a less ideal candidate? The user base will be split up. And dropping the deepest dive right when GTA releases may not be wise

Christina Roberts

To be way too honest I'm not planning on playing any of these, just trying to guess the best combo of potential panelists

Matthew Leonard

Ace Combat 8 Wings of Theve deepest dive!! For Jacob Geller. And for me!!

Ampex

I was struggling to decide between Resonant and Townfall, but Sony announcing a 6 month console exclusivity deal for Townfall just a month before launch turned me off of voting Silent Hill. So Control it is

FierceBrosnan

Nevermind who's in first, how is onimusha in last!

Daniel

Desperately need a Control Resonant Deepest Dive with the original Alan Wake 2 DD crew

Xavier Richardson

Here is my formal request to double up on deepest dives since control resonant physical release had been delayed to October: pretty please?

McGreevy

No i meant year?
