Red Steel 2's TGS trailer introduces your buddy Payne

He may be introduced as "a nice guy," but we're betting Red Steel 2's newly introduced character "Payne" isn't quite as friendly as the trailer above would let on. Sure, he may take you for rides on his motorcycle and ... um ... show you the inside of his new truck (?), but won't he get you killed when his path of destruction drags you down with him? The risk is yours, friend, should you decide to take the chance. You'll have plenty of time to decide between now and the notoriously vague "early 2010," when the game's set to hit store shelves.

With a sword! There, are you happy?!

I was expecting a girl... Damn you, Final Fantasy X-2.

I'm really looking forward to this! Should be better than Red Steel one. How can it get worse?

Hmm, he seems like a nice guy. I'd love to go for motorcycle rides and see his new truck.

And I gotta say, I'm feeling a little bit better about Red Steel 2. It looks like they are taking the time to make it a good game after all. I'll be looking forward to this one later on.

You would like to see his "truck".

Could have been more originally named, but i suppose it's part of his charm

Or is he just Kratos in disguise?

They probably put that date confirmation up because they thought it was a trailer for GoW 3.

By the way, Kratos called, he got lost on the way to Olympus and wound up in some awesome Asian-Cowboy town.

Not the Payne I expected to see :(

Where is my drill sergeant?

Are those Valve-style player-controlled cutscenes I see?? My, my. You have done your homework, Ubisoft.

Though to be honest, I am still on the fence about this game. It could be completely awesome, or, like far too many other massively hyped third-party Wii games, it could be merely okay. Only time will tell.
