Hard one.
Graphically Resident Evil was amazing when it came out and mechanics and gameplay wise it still holds up decent but at the time it was revolutionary it also revived a franchise struggling a little bit and story wise it wasn't amazing but decent.
The Last of us isn't the best game gameplay wise by any stretch of the imagination but doesn't have many obvious flaws from a cinematic perspective its one of the best games ever made to date and its also a really well acted- game really showing how emotion, loss and hate can really be portrait in a game.
I voted for Resident Evil because it did a bit more at the time especially because uncharted 2 and 3 from naughty dog where bigger game changers, sure arguably the last of us tells a better story and mixes gameplay up a bit but resident evil stood out more gameplay wise for me and I think gameplay should always top the chart when comparing games.
Obviously both games are amazing and stand in a long list of games from nintendo, microsoft and sony that really changed the way we view the gaming industry.
