I've noticed that there are quite a few similarities between Resident Evil 4 and the Last of Us.

-Both are linear 3rd person shooters which have light rpg elements that include upgrading weapons and health

-Both were released at the end of their console generation, RE4 (2005) and LoU (2013).  RE4 won GOTY, LoU has a great chance to win GOTY.

-Enemies consist of 'infected' as opposed to classic zombies; las plagas/fungus

-Your primary goal in both games is to save the young girl, and at brief times you get to play as Ashley/Ellie

There are other similarities I just can't think of them.

Edit: quick turn, health bar, cabin/sniping sections similar

 ladder use, pendant hanging from tree that can be shot down

I also included a poll.  Please don't vote for one of the games if you haven't played both!  I'm not sure which game I like more, Last of Us released too recently for me to vote.  I do consider each to be in the top 3 of the respective generations.
