I don't care. I liked playing her with the FBI suit because it was proper X Files shit, that's all.

I'm more concerned about the gameplay after AW2 and it being melee focused. The coolest part of Control was blasting everything to shreds.
 
i'd've preferred just about anything other than what was in the video. it all just seems kinda devoid of character, & all about piled-on weird for weird's sake (also, not a big cosmic sledgehammer fan)...
 
I like the change up. Caught me off guard. Always assumed Dylan was a lost cause with his mind too damaged from The Hiss .

Dylan being the protagonist is about the only interesting thing they showed about the game. The action gameplay? Don't care for it at all. The city setting? It's a basic looking city. Not nearly as interesting as the oldest house.
 
Yes, I wanted Jesse in Control 2 the same way I wanted Alan Wake to be the sole protagonist for AW2.

Let's hope this is not Remedy's desperate way to say "Hey, we fucked up"...

Nah, a game like this can have its storyline go in pretty much any direction they want. I don't consider this an upgrade or a downgrade, it's a choice and we'll see how it influences the story and the lore.

It's nothing like with Alan Wake 2 where I was actually pissed of Alan not being a sole protagonist, and later after discovering he's not even getting 50% of the content.

There isn't a problem with the protag's powers being written into obsolescence or loss, but it should be a cogent and compelling reason within the lore. We don't even need to see it again in its same form (but bursts or recurrence would be satisfying).
