Zelda Vs. Silent Hill - Vote For The Deepest Dive
Added 2024-09-19 14:37:31 +0000 UTCAt MinnMax we like to create the best, most thorough discussions about games in a multi-part game club discussion called The Deepest Dive.
We just wrapped up The Deepest Dive on Mirror's Edge, thanks to everybody who voted for the game in the last poll and played along with us. Now let's look to the future! We need you all to choose what we tackle next: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom or the Silent Hill 2 remake?
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - Nintendo's fresh take on Zelda is launching on September 26 and we can unpack everything new together. We don't yet know how open the game is and we don't want to guide your fun, so this might be a situation like Shadow of the Erdtree's Deepest Dive where we have one episode covering our first weekend with the game and then another when we can cover everything else in the game. If it's a set order to the areas/dungeons, we can guide things a bit more with our conversations.
Silent Hill 2 - Konami hired Bloober Team to remake one of the most beloved horror games of all time we can talk all about it together. Silent Hill 2 will be scary. We should note that Jacob Geller won't be on The Deepest Dive for the game, he just covered the original on his Something Rotten podcast. Silent Hill 2 is launching on PS5 and Steam on October 7th.
The poll ends on Monday, so choose wisely. You're welcome to make your case for either game in the comments below or in the Discord. Thanks for supporting MinnMax on Patreon and making this content possible!

I don't do Nintendo consoles never been interested but I'll watch a walkthrough so I can have an in depth understanding for the deepest dive or as much of an understanding by watching a video as you're missing a key appointment which is the gameplay would of loved doing silent hill 2 unfortunately I'm in the minority for that vote

2024-09-26 02:14:19 +0000 UTCIm definitely looking forward to hear peoples opinions on the remake. I love the original and it looks like this remake will have people talking. Hopefully in a positive way.
HelloAndre!
2024-09-23 06:51:46 +0000 UTCI'm listening to an old Deepest Dive today and it's a pretty good way to re-play a game without buying it and playing it again. Do people wanna see what happens in the new Zelda without having to... play it? btw if you are Hanson and you're reading this: whoever wins we win, it's a fun show either way and this is a fun poll to watch!

2024-09-23 00:11:37 +0000 UTCI was just watching the podcast, and opened this poll, voted, and as the the results loaded, Huber said "58% zelda" as a guess, and the votes were 580 to 515 zelda. Which isn't exactly 58%, but still pretty wild.

2024-09-21 01:25:30 +0000 UTCLook forward to exploring the rich story and lore of…. Zelda. SH2 or bust!
The Spine
2024-09-21 00:03:54 +0000 UTCReally hope Silent Hill 2 pulls through here. Despite there being a lot of discussion about the original, I think it'll be really interesting to revisit that game with this new lens, especially given how much vitriol there is from SH fans towards the game pre-release.
Michael Lane
2024-09-20 20:19:46 +0000 UTCIm so bummed zelda is winning. I just think the conversation around silent Hill would be way more interesting rather than Zelda has a sword now.

2024-09-20 19:47:43 +0000 UTCThrowing my hat in for Zelda. Silent Hill 2 is one of the most discussed games of all time, and has had decades of writing done about it. I understand that this is for the remake, but realistically all that's going to change is adding a lot of "well, this was handled a lot better in the original" to the discussion
Bon Jon Bovi
2024-09-20 15:25:19 +0000 UTCWow its so close. I don't play horror games, but I voted for Silent Hill 2. I just think I'll enjoy the resulting podcast more!
Tom Brien
2024-09-20 14:21:40 +0000 UTCI did vote...but I really don't care which one wins, both of these would be great!
Lanthian
2024-09-20 11:43:20 +0000 UTCInteresting seeing the difference in comments to votes. Only a 7% difference (at time of comment), but the majority of comments seem to be wanting SH2:remake. I'd love to maybe see a Max Spoilers for whatever doesn't win.
RedMption
2024-09-20 08:57:59 +0000 UTCI’m so bummed Zelda is winning in this. Silent Hill 2 is MADE for this format. Please consider doing it anyway
Joel Peterson
2024-09-20 00:21:23 +0000 UTCAs someone who won't play Silent Hill 2 I'd like to hear about it since we'll hear plenty of thoughts on Zelda which will probably be gameplay focused anyway. I think it'll lead towards a more interesting discussion.
Duderado
2024-09-19 21:28:36 +0000 UTCThanks for rec, but this is specifically for the SH2 remake not the original. I'll prob end up checking it out because I don't think SH will win this one.
Duncan
2024-09-19 21:25:43 +0000 UTCIf ya wanna listen to a silent hill deepest dive, check out the something rotten podcast.
HelloAndre!
2024-09-19 20:54:32 +0000 UTCDamn, bummed that Zelda is winning this one. Silent Hill seems like it would have the better discussion.
Jordan Brown
2024-09-19 20:12:58 +0000 UTCThere is such a strong Zelda fan base that there is no way it Dosent win, which, if it does, is terribly disappointing. Silent hill should win because everyone will give Zelda its flowers, mainly because it always happens lol. Give something else a chance.
Chris Marsh
2024-09-19 20:10:01 +0000 UTCI'm sure Zelda will be a joy to play, but I cannot imagine it will lend itself to give anywhere near the same level of engaging discussion as Silent Hill 2 would
AnActualSadTaco
2024-09-19 18:27:45 +0000 UTCCould we at least get a spoilercast for whichever one doesn’t win (which, let’s face it, is going to be Silent Hill 2)?
DarkFishDays
2024-09-19 18:03:44 +0000 UTCHrmmm I'm not personally interested in Silent Hill but I'm wondering if the convo might be more unique/varied than the Zelda convo 🤔
Matty Gaffney
2024-09-19 17:07:22 +0000 UTCI was hoping that you'd do a deepest dive on Epic Mickey, like Hanson wanted to do when it got announced earlier this year. Oh well...
mantaguy
2024-09-19 17:06:37 +0000 UTCIs it not possible to do both?
Jacob de Mailly
2024-09-19 17:01:40 +0000 UTCGo off. I feel like us silent hill fans are ….uh desperate enough to maybe get a little silent hill as a treat even if it loses the vote?
Deirdre Bouquet
2024-09-19 17:00:48 +0000 UTCI mean i agree and am skeptical but I think that makes for interesting discussion and I highly doubt they’ll change anything that dramatically in terms of plot.
Deirdre Bouquet
2024-09-19 17:00:39 +0000 UTCI mean I’m so profoundly biased but like ….i feel like there’s a lot more meat on silent hill for discussion. Also I’ve heard you guys talk about Zelda a lot and you know the silent hill girlies need some love.
Deirdre Bouquet
2024-09-19 16:59:45 +0000 UTCI would vote for Silent Hill if it weren't Bloober. But I can see it being more *interesting*, in this case I don't see that meaning better. I don't want a Deepest Dive where it's a lot of negative reflection on the game, and that's what I see happening with SH2R
Nick from Atlanta
2024-09-19 16:58:02 +0000 UTCZelda is what I want to play more, but I think Silent Hill will be the more interesting / fun talk.
Lamb Dance
2024-09-19 16:57:34 +0000 UTCI wish I could get both, Silent Hill was made for diving deep.
Duncan
2024-09-19 16:46:49 +0000 UTCI'm a little baby so Silent Hill is too spooky for me
Ramon Gutierrez
2024-09-19 16:31:38 +0000 UTCSilent Hill 2 is the kind of game that Deepest Dives exist for
Rory Cunningham
2024-09-19 16:06:46 +0000 UTCSee I think that would make the DD more interesting!
Outlandish Beats
2024-09-19 16:02:28 +0000 UTCI can't think of anything better than a Zelda deepest dive where everyone explores their puzzle solutions
The Canipa Effect
2024-09-19 15:51:17 +0000 UTCI do not want to do a Deepest Dive on anything that Bloober Team touches. Their approach to mental health is terrible.
Nick from Atlanta
2024-09-19 15:35:53 +0000 UTCI’ve never wanted a deepest dive as much as I want the Silent Hill 2 Deepest Dive
Ben Shively
2024-09-19 15:16:27 +0000 UTCThere’s just so much more to sink your teeth into when it comes to Silent Hill 2. Hope the remake wins!
Daniel Conrad
2024-09-19 15:11:34 +0000 UTCMuch closer than I expected
Adam D
2024-09-19 15:10:06 +0000 UTCTHE ZELDA COMEBACK IS UPON US
ScottyDontKnovv
2024-09-19 15:05:14 +0000 UTCI know Zelda will win but I'm voting for Silent Hill. Everyone talks about Zelda and I just think a discussion about SH just sounds more interesting.
Ryan Thomas Reynolds
2024-09-19 15:02:24 +0000 UTCVoting for silent hill for the chance you’ll play some good tunes
Stef P.
2024-09-19 14:58:32 +0000 UTCI'm admittedly not a horror fan, but a new Zelda game with Zelda as the protagonist feels pretty momentus and worthy of a deep dive! The last small-scale masterpiece the Zelda team made (Link Between Worlds) is tragically overlooked.
Brendan
2024-09-19 14:58:07 +0000 UTCYet again a scary game (absolutely not my gaming preference) convinces me to do another deep dive. Can’t wait to play Zelda!
Boondock-Bandit
2024-09-19 14:54:57 +0000 UTCEither it’s worth talking about how silent hill 2 remake lives up to (or surpasses) the original, or the ways it completely ends up missing the point and flops. Talking Zelda is always fun but the imagery and surreal nature of Silent Hill 2 to me anyway will spark more varied conversation points than “isn’t it cool how fun zelda is” for many hours 😂
Andrew B
2024-09-19 14:53:08 +0000 UTCI think that Zelda will have some great new mechanics to talk about, but Silent Hill will have many more thoughtful topics to discuss beyond gameplay.
Andrew Harwood
2024-09-19 14:52:01 +0000 UTCTough choice. I think I’m more excited for Zelda coverage but Silent Hill 2 feels like the more interesting spoiler filled discussion/deepest dive format
STAMPEDE
2024-09-19 14:51:31 +0000 UTCWell, I saw the choices and immediately thought "Oh, Silent Hill, Jacob could lead that in his sleep". With him out it's a tighter race personally, but I'm still going Silent.
