From what I played, it didn't really feel yet like there are only 5 maps. Even just having 2 maps at a time during the Demo was something you didn't really feel because the map changes so much with the splattering.

 

@Spemanig: Did Evolve got crucified? If you want to compare Splatoon to any other game content-wise, that's probably the best one to do so as they have similarities on many levels. The main difference in the content philosophy is that in Evolve you have to pay for additional content while you get it for free at Splatoon. Evolve got criticized for it's moneygrabbing, but most reviews liked the gameplay and very few had anything to even say about the basic content - which means no bad thing to say about it. Since here the additional content comes for free, I don't think reviews or reception will be bad, as the things which went bad on Evolve are not present in Splatoon.

Evolve did get crucified. It also allegedly bombed. How much content did Evolve launch with, though. I'm 99% sure it completely dwarfs what Splatoon is launching with. Evolve also isn't the same situation at all. Evolve wasn't critiziced for a severe lack of content at launch. It was criticized for rampant microtransactions.

Reread my post, that's what I'm saying, too. To clarify since you seemingly didn't get my point: What I'm saying is that Evolve didn't have much more content at launch (at least it felt as if it didn't without any additional DLC), but that was not criticized back then. What was criticized was, as you noted too, the payed DLC and Microtransactions, which are not present on Splatoon, as here the content upgrades come free of charge.
