What could possibly justify this being an entirely new game instead of an expansion pack for Splatoon 2? So far we've seen a new weapon type (bows) and a new story mode... but both of those things can and have been added to 2 through DLC.

Its almost as if we got a bare bones trailer that is only showing minor new things and we can expect far more details in the future.

>ignoring the changes to core gameplay mechanics
they showed that the spawnpoint is gone, you jump from outside the stage instead of the spawn point on the map now apparently. Also, there's new moves (such as launching up and out of vertical walls) and noticeably faster movement. No idea what the little salmonid does yet either.

What does this mean? Just an aesthetic difference or there be multiple spawn points on the map that and where the player spawns after death changes dynamically ala CoD or something?

they know they can get away with it, don't forget to pay for the 30$ DLC for splatoon 3 actual story mode

You know Dab Forums, they prefer their games radically different to justify a sequal so they can bitch about how to much was changed.
