In that good doctor show, this girl asks for triple A batteries for her PS3 controller...

Wtf ?

https://youtu.be/Z6gKiFSinW0?t=23s

Inexcusable

"Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: In the opening to Oliver, the audience is introduced to Shaun's neighbor Lea when she drops by his apartment asking to borrow batteries, as she's playing one of the Uncharted games and her controller is dead. Uncharted fans likely got a laugh out of this, as the mainline games are only available on the PS3 and PS4, both of which use rechargeable controllers and thus wouldn't require replacement batteries."

Okay. I just don't watch this (or pretty much any other) show. But I do know my brother has a cheap third party controller which takes AAs.

shows always get stuff about gaming wrong. I have lost count of how many times they have fucked up. there has to be many gamers on the set of these shows, but none of them ever speak up to correct things so this keeps happening. apparently all the people who write for tv don't game though.

1. Third party controllers don't look like exact copies of the in house controller.

2. It was a controller that used AAA's.

3. They even had her pretend to take the batteries out.

Please don't try to defend this. I don't think there's any controller out there (let alone PlayStation) that uses AAA batteries.

Also this only proves yet again that this network (CBS) doesn't give a fuck about being true to the characters they portray. They only care about the stupid 50+ year old parents / aunts / uncles / grandparents of said characters, and let them think they're "connecting" with their children / nephews / nieces / grandchildren.

Nintendo hardware has used them, both in the Gameboy Pocket and in rumble support for some of their stuff.

Not sure about regular controllers though.

I always wonder how shows can be that factually inaccurate, especially since gamers likely work on the show. Granted, it could turn out that the batteries being out is a ruse or something.

Or she's just a moron and got the battery type wrong. Seriously people ask for AAA's when they need AA's all the freaking time.

Giving the show the benefit of the doubt, maybe her controller really did need batteries, in which case he should slam the door in her face because only plebeians use generic controllers.

If their controller on set didn't use AAA why would they think it's a good idea to put that in?

yeah...."new"

the first time consoles came with a controller that needed batteries was the Wii and the 360.

and currently, the only console with a controller that needs batteries is the xbox one.

now, needed batteries is a very, very good thing, but that's besides the point.

it's not a new thing.

This always bothers me, if they know enough about Uncharted and controllers how can they fuck up a small detail like this? Surely someone would have corrected them right?

That's what really gets me about this stuff. They clearly have to know that's not how it works, because the actress had to pretend it was working. I suppose you could have writers writing without ever actually looking at the props and seeing how practical their directions are (that's pretty plausible, actually), but even so, the error is immediately obvious even to a non-gamer.

Soaps for example are supposed to be based on real life. Attention to detail is important otherwise the story you're trying to tell doesn't come across as intended.

it's a little different but one time on Big Bang Theory they had an episode about them playing the mmo Old Republic. but they didn't call it that. they said they were going to play star wars games all weekend and then one of the characters says "oh? which one?" and then the first person says "we're going to play the online game" "the online game? how exciting!" and so on. it was so dumb. no gamer would talk like that. you don't call it "the online game". you say it's damn name. also, they were supposed to be playing Republic characters but when they showed one character's character, she looked like a sith to me.

Not a big deal really. I noticed and just didn't care because this happens all the time.

Second, the show is on ABC, not CBS. You can spot the video game mess up but can't even get the network it's on right. Maybe ylu should be like those writers and do a bit more research? Hypocrite.
