You know I've always thought The Last of Us took a lot from Resident Evil 4 too. The clickers seem like a combination of the Garradors and the Regenerators from RE4. They took the fun gameplay of a blind enemy needing to use sound to find you; the Garradors you could shoot the bells causing a distraction for them to run at, LoU added the brick/bottle throwing mechanics to make noise. The Regenerators made creepy noises so you knew they were around, which LoU gave the clickers a creepy clicking noise, and they all were a 1 hit kill if they got close to you. LoU has the same type of controls with the slow movement and 180 quick turn, same health bar look, both had sniper missions to protect the girl. One of the best parts to me in TLoU was when you play as Ellie and you're trying to keep the infected out of that little hut, which again is a great RE4 moment where you protect the cabin.
I love the stealth mechanics of TLoU, but I found myself wishing there were more infected moments in the game. After a while choking out everyone especially tons of humans I felt that the shooting scenarios weren't as plentiful. One reason I think RE4 was so good was that the shooting gameplay was so fun and there were so many tense scenarios. I love that in RE4 you could target body parts like shoot a leg and they fall down.
I'm on my 3rd playthrough of TLoU and on the 1st couple playthroughs exploring and going through environments with no enemies is ok, but when you replay the game and you know the loot locations, I find myself wishing there were more enemies and not so many empty areas. TLoU definitely is awesome and the production value is really high, but from a replayability perspective I think RE4 has it beat.

Thank you for the post. I forgot about the small details/mechanics like 180 turn and health bar. The cabin and sniper sections similarity is undeniable. Those are great parts of both games. Personally I prefer the infected in LoU but the regenerators in re4 are the scariest IMO.
I will be starting my third playthru on survivor+ soon, are there any differences u notice on ng+?
its hard for me to pick a 'winner', but I would say both games are the type you go back an play every couple years.

I actually enjoyed survivor mode more than survivor+ . Survivor+ is the same just easier cause your upgrades carry over. There really isn't any reason to want to play survivor+ other than to get the trophy. I've always liked a good challenge and if you play through survivor you're kind of going backwards playing survivor+.
I think I might try survivor mode again and as a good challenge try to kill every possible enemy I can not leaving anyone behind. I'm sure there are areas it can't be done but the fun part about TLoU is planning an attack with minimal resources.
