In an interview with bigdownload.com actor Shia LaBeouf discusses his love for videogames, his feelings on the Wii and what him and the rest of the cast of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen were playing on the set. Click the source for the whole interview.
Have you checked out the Wii Transformers game?
I haven't been able to play the Wii game because my hand is broken. I've just been playing Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. I would imagine that the Wii experience will be like...I don't mess with the Wii, to be honest with you. It's kind of an amateur console. I'm not into the Wii thing.
What's wrong with the Wii?
This is how in a simple way you can find out if it's a gamer you want to play with. Ask them if they have a Wii. If they say yes, get the *bleep* out of there.

its true
anyway, i don't care, i still love and play my wii from time to time, and i also enjoy my PS3 and 360.
Obviously his expectations were too high.
It's just another generalization of the over used crap about the Wii being a poor system with no good games. It simply isn't true because there are plenty of great titles out there. It isn't Nintendo's fault their system grabbed the largest number of buyers and that attracts the developers in it for a quick buck. It's the buyers responsibility to pick decent games. If they stop buying the shitty games the developer's will stop making shitty games.
It is, however, their fault for catering damn near exclusively to this market.
Make a general statement about a group of people by way of your opinion and alienate the audience that your movie is geared towards. It's the best way to become a pretentious star like Kanye!

The replies to that source article are hilarious. I mean good god, how serious are these Wii fanboys?
Buddy, I'm a gamer. Not just the fake ones you read about."
Just.....wow.
Granted this is probably the same thing, but I can't disagree with that particular statement he made even if he does come off sounding like a douche.
In all seriousness though what's the issue here? It's his opinion, no need to throw tantrums over it. If you want to get pissed, aim it at the people broadcasting his opinion like it's important.
I think Shia was either putting on his acting skills, or trying WAY too hard to "appear" to be a "real gamer" and be all rad and hip and cool, a real "hardcore gamer" and not "fake."
I mean, read what he said and pause and think about it . . . Seriously, he's trying way too hard. Either that or he's doing another one of his acting goofy type of a scene.
As for the Wii . . . man people need to grow up with that! Sheesh, so you're a big, bad mature gamer who doesn't think the wii is mature enough . . . your belittling of those who like the wii FAR FROM validates your maturity! It does the opposite.
So owning a wii is fine as long as you don't like it more than the other consoles? Wow. So, what, are you a 360 fanboy? PS3 fanboy? Or are you one of those stuck-up fanboys who just plain hate the Wii because it has games you don't enjoy, so you feel threatened by its success and must bash it to death?
So what, some people like the Wii more than other consoles. That does NOT make them less of a gamer. It means they like games you don't, which is perfect because then they can avoid playing games with those who will flame them for just ENJOYING something.
As for those who say the Wii is better than the other consoles, it's their opinion. If they are fanboyish about it . . . what makes them any worse than the countless 360 and PS3 fanboys? Or any different from those who are anti-Wii?
Alright, rant over. Sorry. And no I wasn't talking about Shia saying these things, only thing about Shia was that I think he was trying WAY too hard to be "cool" and a "real gamer."
Quite frankly there's no need to take his opinion seriously, at all. As far as the gaming Heirarchy goes he's equivacol if not below the average Gamegrep user. The fact he runs a lot in a movie with robots should mean *bleep* all to that xD
You're right, his opinion is his opinion. I suppose all those complaining about the Wii are saying their opinions too, but don't diss those who like the wii, just because you don't (not you in particular, Hideo, I'm speaking generally).
Who gives a damn what Beefy has to say?
He can't act for tuppence, so why should I care for his opinion?
Especially saying that he would rather chew on glass than play on a Wii, ROTFLMAO
