PS3 Entitlements Out of the Dark

D3 Publisher of America (crazy name, crazy guys) has released a list of "PlayStation Entitlements" for its 'banned in Australia' terror game, Dark Sector (or darkSector).

Yes, PS3 Entitlements are back again - having first been mooted back in 2006. SPOnG loves to see language used in a productive manner, so we looked up the word 'Entitlement".



We then thought we'd look up, just for the hell of it, a random word like "Achievement":



Or even...



Do you see what we're doing there? If not... Xbox Achievements sound more like something you have to do rather than PS3 Entitlements, which sound like something you're given.

Anyway, Dark Sector (or darkSector) - not having been canned on PlayStation 3 - has Entitlements. Why they are not called something like, 'PS3 Acquirement' ("An attainment, such as a skill or social accomplishment") is beyond us...

Anyway, MTV has talked with Josh Austin, a producer at D3 Publisher and found out more. According to Josh, "Including medals or 'entitlements' as we call them in Dark Sector was definitely forward-thinking by the developer, Digital Extremes.

"We were already in the process of implementing entitlements in-game when we heard the news that they would be integrated by Sony and have more of a presence."

We're not certain if this means that Josh and the crew came up with the idea and Sony then guessed the name at exactly the same moment - which would be weird - but we doubt it.

Now, those Entitlements in full:
