According to u/dmjr333, this has always been a characteristic of the series. Kennedy kills hundreds of infected villagers before the game ends. This trend clearly started in Resident Evil 4, where Leon S. I also hope they keep the merchant and the inventory system, its one of the most recognizable RE4 things. A very common criticism that Resident Evil constantly gets from the fans is that the games became too action-oriented. I wouldn't like it if the bosses are the exact same formula to beat as the original. I wouldn't mind if some of the enemies were reimagined, things like El Gigante, verdugo, bitores mendez, etc could all be reimagined very differently, changing the boss fights. I would like to feel like I am in a different part of the original castle if that makes sense.ДЇor aesthetics, I hope the weapon upgrades visually change the gun, hell they could even change the guns up, as long as they are still balanced like the originals. For the castle, they should keep the same style as the original, and rework the more memorable areas. They should rework each area, and make the layouts entirely different, hitting key points (first village fight, el gigante, cabin fight, etc) but I would like to play it and not recognize it, hell they should expand sections in between to help mix it up even more. Keeping the cheese doesn't mean you can't have more serious moments, but I don't want a super serious Leon.

A think a far better boss is a bit of a stretch. Sure you could do access it while still playing, but way more limiting than 4. Inventory in 5 was way more terrible than 4. Keep the original tone of the game, the cheesiness kind of makes the game. Most of it was built off of 4, which 4 did still build off of it granted less so than previous ones.
