Love them or hate them, there’s no denying that achievement points have become a big feather in the Xbox 360’s cap, as well as an extra selling point for its games. I won’t deny that the allure of achievements and a little pat on the back for performing mundane tasks is enough to make me find more value in a 360 game, and it seems that the PlayStation 3 is well aware of the issue. Resistance: Fall of Man included Skill Points, and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune followed the trend of offering an achievement-based system with trophies, and now the Blu-ray version of Dark Sector is set to have its own brand, called “entitlements.”
Amounting to 700 arbitrary points, these will provide PS3 fans with a mirror of the achievements in the 360 version and are a Dark Sector exclusive (i.e, other PS3 games won’t use entitlements). Of course, with no universal gamerscore to add to, I wonder if this will be viewed as anything of value, or if there are some extra benefits to winning these entitlements. Just what do they entitle you to? It’s a cool move to make the two versions seem equal, but in the race to award meaningless points, the 360 still has more meaningful meaningless.
Either way, whether you want to achieve or be entitled, you can hit the jump for the full list of awards available in Dark Sector.
