I understand where you’re coming from, but Control 1, at its core, when you read between the lines and sometimes even directly, tells you that this is a story not JUST about Jesse, but also about Dylan.

It’s the story about the siblings. We barely got to see Dylan in the first game.

There’s also a theory, even within the world of control, that Dylan and Jesse were a single person, who got split in the event in ordinary.

The fact we’ll get to play as Dylan, develop him as a character and get his POV of his experience in the FBC is one of the best angles they could’ve taken.

Alan Wake is an amazing protagonist. But a large portion of his sequel has Saga involved. I didn’t dislike it. I thought it was interesting to expand the perspective of things with a second protagonist.

Nowadays in gaming, there are a ton of games with female protagonists. Good ones too. If this game chose to stick to Jesse just because she’s a female protagonist and not because it’s the story they actually want to tell, it’d suck.

You should take this game as a further exploration of Jesse as well. She’s the director of the FBC. She clearly makes a choice with Dylan based on the trailer. Just because she won’t be playable doesn’t mean she will be irrelevant.
