OK, completely ignoring any other games...
I doubt TLoU will change anything. It would be nice if it could revive the survival aspect of games. Better than a game like Zombie U, etc. Problem is, when a game becomes too hard it is not well received. So if they can find a balance between really feeling like you need to survive, yet not so hard that it becomes frustrating (retrying 10x times multiple times throughout the game) then I have high hopes that TLoU can revitalize that genre.
