I think GOW popularized TPP and it influenced a lot of games especially with it's camera angle, even if it was certainly not the first game to do that. Batman series, Deadspace, Murder: Soul Suspect, TLOU and probably a lot more utilized it across different genres and gameplay styles. But think of it this way: Zelda: Ocarina of time was one of the first 3D games to have a targeting system. Is every 3D game with a targeting system a Zelda clone? Wolfinstien or whatever was fps. Is every fps a Wolfenstien clone?
OP: I believe that games with this kind of story telling are the revolutionary next step for gaming.
