If by revolutionary you mean what games are most emulating it, then out of those, Gears of War. However, RE4 influenced Gears of War, so then my answer would ultimately be RE4.

I know it was cited that RE4 inspired using 3rd person perspective, but they have little in common other than both are 3rd person.  Gears of War's key mechanics are cover based shooting, and moving from cover to cover.  Those are features that are inspired by other games (Kill Switch) but mixed in an evolutionary way in Gears of War.

Many of the list have evolved their genres and inspired others.  Personally I went with Gears of War overall, for evolving cover based shooting, co-op play, and several interesting multiplayer modes.

I might be wrong here but is Gears 2 the first game with a horde mode. It seems every multiplayer shooter since has one.

RE4 had the Mercenary mode which was pretty similar.  It was only single player though.

Star Wars The Clone Wars had a multiplayer mode which was basically horde mode:

"The Academy training game is all about survival. One to four players try to survive as many waves of enemies as possible. Each wave, the number of enemies and their type changes. Every third round is either a duel or a bonus round (in the Thule Moon version). There are only two locations for this game type and they are both different. In the Geonosis version you try to survive waves of Battle Droids, Super Battle Droids, Dwarf Spider Droids and Geonosian warriors while playing as a Jedi Knight or another character. The Thule Academy version has you locked in an All Terrain Experimental Transport or a TX-130 Saber-class fighter tank fighting waves of NR-N99 Persuader-class droid enforcers, Single Trooper Aerial Platforms, Ground Armored Tanks, Heavy Artillery Guns, IG-227 Hailfire-class droid tanks, OG-9 homing spider droids, Armored Assault Tanks, Dark Acolytes, and Protodekas."

I played the crap out of that back in the day with my brother.
