When I think of hardcore marketing campaigns, I think preorders 6 months in advance, tremendous ads on all the gaming sites I frequent, etc. This game got a release date announced 2 weeks before it was coming out. That's all I mean.

Well, it's a $20 downloadable title, I can't name any in the same category that have that kind of marketing budget. Sony has been pushing it pretty hard though at their game conferences, on the blog, twitter, and on the PSN store.

Bastion actually got such ads AFTER release. WB pushed it hard once it was already a success. I remember the full page splash on RPS, for example.

I guess I just have seen a lot of push for this game just following PS4 news, so maybe my perception is skewed. I also think the date was announced like 2 weeks ago.
