You would think with Jake and Alex being related to Albert, Capcom would have wanted to involve these characters more than they've been doing.
Having Chris or Leon in every mainline game is a bit overdone. I feel that when they are involved, the games are not scary. I have always preferred horror games where being overwhelmed as an ordinary person is a compelling engagement. Then if they keep returning, they end up macho, or with additional powers.
This is why I love the games about the town of Silent Hill, because everybody is normal, and has no veteran status. So it's not like the MCU, where in the RE or Capcom universe, the heroes are cocky and too strong.
