Sep 3 Gamestop In-Store Footage - Dwemer Centurion

Post » Wed Sep 07, 2011 8:57 pm

I was just in my local gamestop. They where playing the usual loop of previews for upcoming games, and they inevitably got to Skyrim. They said all the usual with clips from the trailer spliced in (guy backstabbing someone in tavern, fighting off the big spider, etc.), but I noticed in the mix was a massive golden Dwemer enemy, most closely resembling a steam centurion. Does anyone know anything about this? I'm glued to the forums day in, day out; I don't think this would have gone unnoticed. Am I late to the party though?

Again, I've only ever seen this at gamestop. I've seen the trailer hundreds of times, I assure you my eyes haven't decieved me. Stop by your local gamestop and check it out (and then don't buy anything), because I sure can't find this clip anywhere.

(NOT THE SPHERE CENTURION FROM THE GAME INFORMER SOUND PREVIEW)

Here it is. Shot the footage myself.

Here's the link to Gamestop TV's official feed if you feel like waiting for the half-second clip of the newly spotted enemy. It's after the Top Gear racing clip and Comic Con, but if you're interested, I won't stop you. http://storefinder.cbsoutdoor.com/videopreviewservice/viewer/preview_selectstore.aspx

Your late, The centurion is kind of like a Boss enemy.

An actual steam centurion, not the sphere variety? I haven't heard about this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRm22yTBCho Was it this? (Skip to 1:40) If so, it's a Dwemer Sphere. They have been confirmed.

Edit: Eh, nevermind. Dwarven Spheres are relatively small.

Yes, my jaw dropped. I know gamestop gets exclusive rights to everything else, but I didn't think they'd get their own footage. It was massive, kind of blocky, and undeniably Dwemer.

I don't think he's talking about the sphere centurion. This sounds like something new.

I saw the sound design clip the day it came out. I'm telling you this is something else. I'm trying to find the preview it was from. It was part of gamestop's feed and had some lady talking over it about dragons or something generic that we've heard a million times already.

You may want to add to the OP: NOT SPHERE CENTURION, in large letters (the only kind that gets read 'round here).

He's not saying that he hasn't heard of them, he's saying that he hasn't seen them before that

I also saw this at gamestop. It also included skeletons. I've been trying to find this version of the trailer on youtube and am epic fail time. I also assumed steam centurion.

Yes NoamFollower, it was the larger, more squared off Dwemer robot. I may have to stop by gamestop and ask them where they get their video clips in-store.

Alright, I'm heading over to gamestop. Even if I have to take a crappy phone picture, I'll track this down. If someone doesn't just find it online beforehand that is.

also in this one interview

"lots of variety in the centurions" meaning you most likely saw the steam centurion or another big one.
