MAJOR KRAUSER VS LEON - Full Fight Comparison in Resident Evil 4: Original vs Remake Editions... 

Little mistake ...it's 2005 not 2008...nvm guys...

I personally prefer the voice performances of the original but gameplay wise it's no question the remake.

To those that misunderstood Operation Javier in the remake: -Leon is still involved in the Operation Javier as Krauser stated "Have you forgotten what happened 2 years ago?" and he also stated in the Island "Do you remember that fight in the jungle?" and "We barely made it out alive" indicating Leon's participation in the operation and referencing the Operation itself happening in the Jungle. -Leon is not mentioned in any documents related to Operation Javier because he is a government agent and any kind of reference of his name would connect him to the US government thus creating a dilemma while Krauser is only a part of the US military hence his position as Major, one might say Leon is also part of the US military and it is half-right as Leon trained under Krauser hence him calling Leon as "Soldier" in some of his dialouges. -Krauser's purpose of turning to them was not explicitly stated but is more expressed as while he is disappointed about what happened with his men during the operation, he is also envious of the power the government has and wants to claim it as his own. Although this may not be 100% accurate depictions but it is rather implied in the game.

It’s pretty impressive how old re4 is and how good it still looks

I prefer the old voice, but when I hear the new one talk I could totally hear it as some drill instructor, seems cliche enough but less cliche

Krauser OG VA was much better imho. His voice was strong and intimidating. I like about the Remake Krauser is his background and relationship with Leon.

I prefer the remakes gameplay but I also liked the old dialogue. I love Krauser's old line "You may be able to prolong your life but it's not like you can escape your inevitable death, is it?

I love how they gave Leon a more modernize knife while Krauser has the original one everyone uses

The OG first fight was so cool when I first saw it eventhough it's just an quick time event. The Remake looks so intense with the knife fight. And even Luis saved Leon for last time that makes this more miserable to remember that we've lost a great friend

I just noticed one detail that I completely ignored when I was playing that remake Krauser is doing it for his own interest not for Umbrella and Wesker like in the original.

The design of Krauser in the remake, the knife fight, and his boss were done better in the remake but I honestly wished his voice was more like the one from the original.

The new Krauser's superiority in terms of grafics and gameplay is undeniable, but the old one was far more intimidating because of his voice. They should've casted Krauser's old voice actor or at least someone with a similar voice if that's not possible. New Krauser with old voice actor would've been such a masterpiece.

The old Krauser is more composed calm than the new. He has an agenda, a plan and is vengeful but more confident. The new Krauser is frustrated and deranged, completely off balance. He isn't as intimidating as he was in the original. The older version had a deeper voice and never served the cult like the new one does.

"What happened to you, Krauser? You used to be a good guy."

The original presents itself better, but I appreciate the fact that the remake makes you use the knife for the first fight. And you can still use the knife against his transformed self.

OG Krauser saying Comrade is much more chilling and memorable than the remake Krauser with the Rookie, it got old way too quickly and becoming annoying the more you heard him saying that.

From Major Krauser (OG) to Colonel Kurtz (Remake). There are many similarities with Apocalypse Now in the new Krauser, beginning with the red paint on his face and the naked torso, to the speech about power, way similar to the one Kurtz give at the end of the movie about violence. Also, if my memory doesn't fail me, Kurtz also had been sent to an operation similar to the Javier one, failed the same way, making him go crazy. Anyway, good job by capcom. I do prefer the old voice but the acting in this one is more intense and evilish to be honest, suits him best. If we could fuse the voice and the acting it would be just perfect...

To bring order and balance to this insane world of ours , i love this line

I like the new Krauser. At least his hatred toward US gov and fall from Grace a bit more convincing compared to the old one. Here, it seems the US gov know full well the nature of Operation Javier and yet they pushed Krauser and his men and Leon into that slaughter fest and got most of them killed. Sure these soldiers were skilled operators, but their enemies were products of bioterrorism (zombies and such), so bullets won’t do Jack if they don’t know where to shoot at. The ONLY person who knew how to deal with those was Leon (for obvious reason).

Krauser's voice so so much better in the original. In the remake he sounds younger and slimy. Original voice is tougher and manly

Also in the OG he doesn’t call him rookie, he refers to him by comrade

This Krauser looks like Nikolai but buffed & more angry 😂

The remake added more emotional impact for Krauser's death, almost makes you feel bad for him at the end

Major Krauser is one of those villains that looks cooler than heros

Tbh even though the v.o of Krauser in the remake are different still gave me intense and challenging duel with him plus he got more dialogues now and we can feel their brotherhood for some point love this remake

I prefer the og when it comes to voice acting and character design

So...Original Krauser was Leon's rival while the remake one was Leon's teacher?! Is it me or the Remake nowadays looked like Alternative Universe in someway? If Remake Krauser was Leon's teacher, then what actually happened at Operation Javier?

the old voice actor was so cool, the new voice actor is goofy and funny in a good way.

I never got to play the original RE4 when it first came out, My first RE game was RE2 remake and than it got me hooked, I played RE3 remake, Village, 7, 0, and RE1 remake. I decided to not play OG4 to avoid Spoilers for the remake, seeing the knife fight against Krauser in the remake gave me chills, I than went back after finishing the remake and played the OG4 and it gave me a taste of what people felt like back in 2005 when the game first came out. It made me dream of going back to the mid 2000s when things in gaming were great. Halo was in its prime with H2 and H3, RE4 had released, COD 4, and WAW came out, Half Life 2 and its DLC released in 2004, Dead Space released in 2008. Playing all these older games as part of a newer generation (born 04) I wished I could have experienced them back then.

The original voice actor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The new one

Remake had more story for him which is great. But 05 had the best voice and had way more memorable scenes. He was almost an equal to Leon which made his fight that much greater. The knife fight in the original felt more cinematic. In the remake there's so much exposition dump and having to still do the actual fight in game while hearing all the dialogue takes you out of caring for the backstory. After playing through the whole remake. I was kinda just hoping the parts with krauser would end faster. He wasn't as interesting to me as OG but props to remake for least giving him more to do.

Great video! Although the Resident Evil 4 remake is out, I'm still playing a lot of the original on mobile. In fact, on my latest episode of my RE4 series, I just passed through the cabin with Louis and both paths. It was intense! Keep up the great work!

I will say this I really enjoyed the fight with Krauser in the remake

Is he not a double agent for Wesker in the remake? He seems to actually worship Los Illuminados in this and isn't trying to restore Umbrella.

You can actually hear the anger in his voice he was also voiced by the legendary voice actor Jim ward

Just my personal opinion but, 2005 Krauser was a better design to me. Older voice was better for sure. Newer combat was great, newer backstory was better. (It's obvious they intend to make operation Javier a DLC or a standalone eventually) Making Leon respond more logically and as an actual comrade was better. BUT. Older Krauser LOOKED older, sounded older, was a more comfortable sequence to enjoy and the story flowed a bit more badass. Here's why I feel the way I do about the new krauser, it comes almost entirely from my previous military experience as well so don't take me too serious here. I'm aware it's a game. The little area before the arena was cool. Pictures, dog tags, memoirs. Backgrounds, tapes etc. That was great. New Krauser seems almost childish about his downfall though. Older krauser won my heart in this way because he had that cold quiet but deadly demeanor about his scars. He just kept pursuing Leon relentlessly. I actually liked the shit talk from new krauser though that felt real. the banter back and forth was pretty good but the cringey one liners of calling leon a "soldier" got kinda weird in the middle (Darkside Chronicles was a secret service not the army). Ultimately the final form krauser just felt like a reskinned Vergil dialogue sequence from Devil May Cry. Every other word out of his mouth was "POWER" and how Leon has nothing without it. Literally almost word for word Dante vs Vergil dialogue. BUT, it freaking worked. I loved it. It showed a real time Krauser and his real intentions. The shield arm was a nice touch too. I like new krauser. But Old Krauser has an edge they couldn't beat for me.

They made luis's character waay better in this game than the OG, in the OG he died and Leon screams his name as if they were friends before all of this, OG had a better ending and more inclusive story for Luis, great job by capcom on that!

Both of them are still my favorite boss fights just because it's mostly a knife fight

They both were amazing. Original masterpiece and remake masterpiece

no question the first encounter with krauser is untouchable in the og game. shows off leons agility and it felt so smooth. thats one of the only things in the remake that i wish stayed the same. as a kid it was my favorite moment. but everything else about the remake was incredible

God….that scene at 14:10 is just a complete masterpiece shot. I’m no cinematic professional but mann that made this grown man cry. This scene needs to be discussed more as it is underrated!!!

in the original, krauser just shows up you don’t know who he is, but Leon does there’s no backstory to him Leon already knows, but we don’t, THAT gives krauser mystery… HOWEVER in the remake, they just do classic villain, who monologues the whole backstory between them in the less epic knife fight

A clássica luta é insuperável o narrador Krauser tbm era muito foda

The original, more...intimidating

I read a lot of comments and nobody mentioned this, but I found more emotive and motivating in RE4 remake to fight Krauser due to he kidnapped Ashley and killed Luis (which made his death even sadder than the Original RE4) The new RE4 remake made Ada's pointless which is why I think there will be no separate ways, Luis Sera made such a big impact in this game haha 😢

2:56 the scene of two badass character knife battle

Though I'm enjoying the remake, I think I prefer the OG characters both in likeness and in attitude. It's also a testament to the graphics of the OG since they still hold up to this day. Also I've really come to appreciate the stylization of the OG such as the scene when Krauser says "Like you, I'm American" versus the try hard nature of the Nu-Krauser.

Old Krauser more intimidating tho.. The remake one too much talk, but no intimidation feel..

"Pure, unadulterated, badass"

I like how Leon's mouth shakes due to adrenaline or feeling bad for killing Krauser while he's saying ''That you did.''

I love the new one, he has more character and he's a bit more sinister

Old one was way more menacing, the remake one is more annoying.

I don’t think anyone realizes how crazy this mission was I seriously wish they added more action scenes with leon like the laser room😂

Krauser is a deeper character in the remake, that great:D

5:25 as much as i love the remake its an absolute crime they cut out the best line in the game!

The interactive quick time events, you had to be quick with your response. Also the slow motion when getting it right and the way Krauser spins his blade, rather than the remake where he twirls it and catches it.. >_>

separate ways and operation Javier dlc, we're waiting capcom

Оба Джека хороши. Правда характеры разные. Но оригинальный Краузер всё-таки лучше

luis death in the remake was pretty sad tho

OG Krauser sounded like a menacing MCU/DC villain, and the REmake Krauser sounds like a Metal Gear villain lol. pretty neat VA choice, took me a while to get used to his new voice, but the more i listen to it, the better it sounds. bravo, Capcom. you never dissapoint 👍💯

Small detail I noticed, remake Krauser’s knife is completely clean after being hilt deep inside Luis but in the og there’s blood on it after giving Leon just a little cut to the face

I loved how it was Ada who came to rescue Leon. It adds more to their chemistry. 😥 I don't know why they would change that in the remake.

Krauser didn't want to kill leon, if he did he would've done it from the start. He just wanted to see if Leon reached his full potential and wanted to teach leon that "your closest friends can even turn into your worst n awful enemies, just look on the bright side. he's not turning on your back because he's not afraid to look death in the eye."

The old krauser is way better than this one, it feels like his whole essence has lost in this remake

IM STILL UPSET THEY TOOK OUT THE LINE “You and I both know where we come from… like you, I’m American” (the iconic barrel kick)

11:07 finally bro got his kagune

The best thing is that in the original with Ada's appearance you can tell she is like 1000 times better than the remake voice actress...

With how easy leon pulls his knife out from upside down I’m surprised it doesn’t fall out😂

There both cool :)

There was no need to give him extra mutated hand. That bulky hands made him super slow

Original Krauser = Cold-blooded, calculated, collected killer. Remake Krauser = Unhinged Maniac.

Take a shot every time Krauser says rookie

Old Is Gold ❤

I never played either of the RE4s so I don't have any nostalgia, but there are some little touches from the original that could've improved the remake: Leon flinching when he watches the arm transform The killshot blowing a hole in Krauser's chest so he has a reason to suddenly be helpless (could still have the knife scene from the remake to finish the job) And of course, the voice There were some improvements to the script, but also some tradeoffs.

The new voice is menacing but the old is intimidate

old krauser in better than new

the voice actor in original was better

Its kind of funny how some people are praising the remake for being more cinematic than the original yet the original knife fight was way more cinematic. The irony too is that many new fans are calling the old one goofy when to me the new knife fight looked silly. I've never been in a real knife fight or seen one but if in the remakes that's what realistic is I prefer unrealistic.

I like the originals character design better

Old version fight Action is like south Indian movies's fight scenes

The Remake knife fight cutscene looks and sounds like a slap fight lol.

I like more the new but I like more the classic krauser voice

That krauser voice in remake is just like Irving but this appearance is face is almost like Glenn arias on RE vendetta but with more action is very good

I prefer the original Krauser. Also, Leon and Krauser are supposed to be colleagues, but for some reason they are a boss and a subordinate. why? オリジナル版のクラウザーの方が好きだわ。あと設定もレオンとクラウザーは同僚のはずが、なぜか上司と部下になってる。なんで？

OG krauser :menace villain and faster boss but with dumbest weakness and his attacks can't be parry by knife Remake krauser :better character and cool bosse fight but he so slow and his attacks can be parry

I like the old krauser

Original Jack Krauser looks a more badass and believable character imo.

There’s a charm that the QTE had, that can’t be replaced

The whole voice and “rookie” spam after every sentence made me Feel like i was watching a 1980’s villian. I prefer 2005 Krauser voicelines. Saying rookie every 2 seconds was a bit too much

“It’s been a long time comrade” is the first thing to come to my mind when reaching Krauser in the remake, they dropped the ball they should’ve just kept the original fight. The remake is good but the original is far better

The remake made a great work by keeping everything good from the original and discarting all those annoying quick time events, so i like it better

i much prefer the new one, the backstory is better, knife fight way more fun and iconic, and this may be a hot take but i prefer the new voice over the old one

-OG León and Krauser: Brothers in arms -Remake León and Krauser: student and master Its more painfull the treason of a brother than a master

I can say the old Krauser resembles the Krauser in veronica but the new old one doesn’t. He has a completely different vibe.

Old is gold

Leon's voice is more manly than Krauser's 😂

Olha eu adorei o Krauser no Rameke mais pra mim a voz dele no original e muito melhor

The remake version tries to hard to be intimidating but he just comes off as a joke.

He's way more jacked in the original!

I like the old version better somehow
