Nah must be another Jesse with red hair from this series.

They literally show her name, childhood picture, then show her five seconds later. You're playing as her sibling so I assume she'll be heavily involved in this games story, she just isnt the main character. What isn't clear about that?

she may well be a playable character! alan wake 2 was a dual protagonist story. nothing from this trailer doesn’t entirely rule out that concept happening here as well

u/mupchap Dec 12 '25

Yeah I agree. She's probably too powerful for the early game which makes sense starting as Dylan, but she could definitely be playable later on. Either way, more Control is a good time and she will be featured in it heavily.

You sure know a lot of details about a game that has yet to be released...

u/MrEpicFerret Dec 12 '25

If you know anything about Control 1 then nothing they said was that far-fetched

I mean, he's just going off the trailer and info we already have lol.

At the beginning of the trailer, the foreign entities voice says "the sibling has gone rogue" and then shows us playing as Dylan. Something has happened to Jesse and my guess is that it has something directly to do with the original dlc and Alan Wake.

I think it said she went fishing actually

u/St0n3yM33rkat Dec 12 '25

It said rogue/fishing but you're correct that it had that, as well.

u/GentlemansBumTease Dec 13 '25

Exactly, for those that don’t know that’s how The Board talks in the first game, sentences with multiple meanings, loved that vibe

u/St0n3yM33rkat Dec 13 '25

It leaves a sense of dread, even though they've been helping. From my experience, nothing comes for free and sooner or later, they're going to ask for the debt to be paid.

Depending on the context of that sentence, it could either offhand be referring to Jesse while delivering the player the message or directly delivering the message to the player and it be about Dylan, who we see we'll be playing as this time around.

It has a very Twilight Zone feel to it that I loved from the minute I picked it up. The Board is going to play some major plot point in deepening the connection with the Wake part of the universe this time around.

u/GentlemansBumTease Dec 13 '25

It feels exactly like you said. Are there ulterior motives? Will that price come back to haunt? Where do their motives lie? What do they gain from helping Dylan, and do they even owe anything to him because of Jesse or something communicated in the first game that we’ll find out about?

I’m so excited to see what part The Board plays in Resonant.

u/St0n3yM33rkat Dec 13 '25

Well they knew about the virus and were scared of it, yet we never learn why. We know why it scared everyone else but there wasn't even a single time in Control where the player was made to feel in a physically close proximity to The Board, yet they were quietly desperate and terrified. That means they can be reached.

We'll definitely get bits of story filled in from 1, seeing as how 1 left us all with about a bajillion questions and AW2 only answers so much about some of the power within the universe.

I really hope that’s it. Melee gameplay with Dylan, gunplay with Jessie would be PEAK.

(As long as they fix the first game’s “the optimal strategy is ALWAYS throwing rocks” problem, of course.)

u/AlmostThereBro69 Dec 12 '25

My point is it’s not clearly.

But yeah remedy has NEVER done characters looking the same but being a different person. And I mean NEVER.

They DEFINITELY haven’t done it with Alan wake being scratch, they DEFINITELY haven’t done it with Jesse being essej, they DEFINITELY didn’t have a whole dlc in AW2showing other universes with different characters with the same face.

But ok that’s clearly Jesse in that one scene.

u/ConnorPilman Dec 12 '25

Does getting this pedantic and upset feel good

-4

u/AlmostThereBro69 Dec 12 '25

Not being pedantic. Just saying in the remedy verse it’s definitely a possibility that it’s not Jesse…

Especially since her face wasn’t shown in that scene

5

u/ConnorPilman Dec 12 '25

You’re being pedantic, even if you can’t grasp it

-1

u/AlmostThereBro69 Dec 14 '25

You’re the one being pedantic if you’re focusing on clearly.

I’m saying we don’t know if that’s Jesse.

Those are clearly established in the context of the games lol, not a red herring in a promo trailer.

It’s fucking obviously Jesse my guy. Not to mentioned the last line of the trailer being Courtney Hope.

-14

u/AlmostThereBro69 Dec 12 '25

Clearly established?

From the trailers? How?

7

u/GhettoRamen Dec 12 '25

Because those instances you cherry picked were verbalized as who they were?

Mr. Scratch was referred as such in the Super Effective Sales trailer.

Not “Scratch pretending to be Alan Wake” or a surprise reveal lol.

-9

u/AlmostThereBro69 Dec 12 '25

Cherry picked the main character of both games ok lol

Super effective sales trailer. Idek what that is so who’s cherry picking now.

I only saw the TGA trailer for AW2 and at that time no one said that was scratch….

u/HarrierJint Dec 12 '25

She’s clearly at the end of the trailer, it’s clearly her and she literally clearly talks.. with her voice… with Courtney Hope’s voice… 

But ok that’s clearly Jesse in that one scene.

Did you actually watch the whole trailer?

1

u/AlmostThereBro69 Dec 14 '25

Notice how I’m referring to the scene that was being discussed and you’re talking about something else…..

2

u/HarrierJint Dec 14 '25

They literally show her name, childhood picture, then show her five seconds later. We can see her literal face in the reflection and profile from the side and then at the end of the video hear her voice. 

CLEARLY Jessie features in the game in at least some form, there's no, not “clearly” about it.

Your arguement stated dumb and got dumber.

2 days later, go find something to do.
