Considering the original games are still available to play for anyone interested in that kind of gameplay, I see no reason to complain about the new God of War doing something different. Series evolving is a good thing, otherwise they are in danger of becoming stale, and God of War was definitely getting to that point after God of War III.

I've heard this viewpoint before but why seek inspiration from The Last of Us? The two franchises are very different.

I don't see why The Last of Us is somehow a bad place to seek inspiration. Santa Monica clearly wanted to do something different from what they did previously with God of War, so looking for inspiration from another similar series would have been pointless.
