If the closest game to it is a retro styled indie title, then it means that there are not many (if any) AAA developers making games like it. Which is good because it means more diversity and as I said 2D and 3D experience are not the same. 3D Mario and 2D Mario co-exist because they both offer something different. Essentially even if NMS is very similar to Starbound, that is more valuable in terms of diversity then it being similar to Battlefield 4. I would like to see more games where there are very few comparisons at retail.

You're citing only AAA devs and yet the devs behind NMS arne't exactly AAA devs, they are indie devs given some funds from Sony due to the flood they suffered which damaged a lot of their equipment and progress, it may look AAA to you but it's still an indie game that isn't on the AAA level of say GTA, Fallout, Final Fantasy etc.

They're not even remotely close to AAA devs, Sony may be publishing/marketing the hell out of it, but Hello Games had like 5 employees when development on NMS started, I believe they're up to 11 now.
