The camera has been used before TLOU, it has existed for over a decade. TLOU is one of the tens of games to use that, and GOW using it isn't taking anything from TLOU.
A hack and slash game could be made more slow paced, again haven't slow paced games existed for a decade? That's not anything original that came in existence with TLOU.
Slow paced or not, the action still has a punch to it, and it still relies on weapon and hand to hand combat, dodging and looks much like a hack and slash game to me.
So by your definition it has to be from a narrow template of existing games in the genre to be hack and slash?

Yes it has been used before TLoU.....duh, TLoU isnt the first action-adventure game.
"The action still has a punch to it, and it still requires on weapon and hand to hand combat"
You pretty much generalized more than half of all the games ever made.
Its not my definition - those are actual hack and slash games that have defined the genre for years.

God of War could redefine the genre, just by not following an existing template in said genre it does not stop being a hack and slash game.
The gameplay had characteristics of hack and slash games - focus on close range combat, usage of weapons, a variety of attacks, variety of enemies.
