Are PS3 Entitlements Back? (Dark Sector Announcement Provides A Clue)


Recommended Posts

We all know what Xbox 360 Achievements are.

They?ve produced countless Achievement ###### (including our own Jason Cipriano), and many see Achievements as a way to measure a gamer?s success.

Today, D3 Publisher of America not only announced the Xbox 360 Achievements for ?Dark Sector,? but also PS3 ?Entitlements? for the game. Remember ?Entitlements??

Back in July 2006, an EGM podcast revealed that Sony aspired to mimic Microsoft?s addictive Achievement system, calling the various accomplishments in the game ?Entitlements.? But no further information was provided. We?ve seen Achievement-type rewards in Sony?s first-party games (such as ?medals? in ?Uncharted: Drake?s Fortune,? ?Resistance: Fall of Man,? ?Warhawk? and ?glyphs? in ?Heavenly Sword?) but they haven?t appeared in every PS3 game thus far? Though it seems that a few third-party titles are moving ahead, like ?Devil May Cry 4,? which has identical Achievements for the Xbox 360 and PS3 (they?re called ?accomplishments? on the PS3).

And would there be a numbered tally that adds up all these ?Entitlements? across games for an overall ?Entitlement score?? (?Entitlement ######? just doesn?t have the same ring to it?)

We?ve put in a request to D3 and Sony to try to find out more, and we?ll let you know as sACHIEVEMENTS (X360) / ENTITLEMENTS (PS3)??s Achievements and Entitlements, read on.

I thought it was widely rumoured "accomplishments" would be what the PS3 would use...

Mind you this could just be the developers adding their own PS3 achievements and calling them what they want?

There's a rumour Home is appearing in some form next week at some games show, maybe we will get some more info on the trophy/achievement side of things?

UPDATED:

[uPDATE From D3 - March 5, 8:14pm]

Josh Austin, a producer at D3 Publisher answered some of our questions regarding the ?Dark Sector? entitlementMultiplayer: Why did you decide to include Entitlements now? Was it a mandate by Sony, or just forward-thinking on the developers? part? Please explain.n.

Austin: Including medals or ?entitlements? as we call them in ?Dark Sector? was definitely forward-thinking by the developer, Digital Extremes. From the start of development, we planned that gamers would have a compelling gameplay experience regardless Multiplayer: Did you get any specific instructions from Sony regarding ?entitlements?? If they were not called ?entitlements? would they have been included in the PS3 version anyway?S3 version anyway?

Austin: We were already in the process of implementing entitlements in-game when we heard the news that they would be integrated by Sony and haveMultiplayer: Will these entitlements bring up a screen when achieved?een when achieved?

Austin: Players will receive an in-game message that they have unlocked an entitlement.

Is it just me, or is the word, "Entitlements," A bit weird. Achievements sound just right, though that may be because they're more established, but then again, what else could they call them? Accomplishments? Fullfillment? PSTriumphs? Steam calls them achievements too...

lol Sony should make their own proprietary/trademarked word for it. Something cool sounding, that isn't secondary to the common term achievement that everyone's use to.

Entitlements isn't very fitting IMO, but either way it's cool that devs are bringing that to the PS3 as well.
