Actually, I just thought of something that I do want to see in a Resident Evil 5 remake. If they keep the knife durability system from 4, then it'd be good if they also gave Chris* the ability to punch enemies with his bare hands to still be able to deal damage even if you run completely out of ammo and your knife breaks. And it's not like Chris punching zombies straight in the jaw is unprecedented for his character, either.
It's not that I want knife durability gone entirely, I do essentially understand why it's a thing in RE2R and RE4R, but it does create the problem of 'I have literally nothing left' that an emergency melee punch (minus other functions like parrying or quick grab escapes) would solve, in an aesthetically appropriate way. And it'd create the challenge run of 'can I punch everything in this game to death?'
* Yes, Sheva too.
