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

Update 8:45 PM: MTV Multiplayer got a short interview with D3 Publisher's Josh Austin. The interview can be read below.

Josh Austin, a producer at D3 Publisher answered some of our questions regarding the “Dark Sector” entitlements:

Multiplayer: Why did you decide to include Entitlements now? Was it a mandate by Sony, or just forward-thinking on the developers’ part? Please explain.

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 of platform.

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?

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 have more of a presence.

Multiplayer: Will these entitlements bring up a screen when achieved?

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

This is a little embarrassing for Sony but at the same time it puts a fire under their a**es to get their entitlements up and running.

Sony should've already had this fleshed out to some degree by now. We're nearly 15 months into the lifecycle and we're still waiting for this.

But at the same time we need to be patient. There's a very good chance that everything (Home, in-game XMB, trophies, etc) will be ironed before the year is out.
