Okay. May have just been a bit too paranoid. I was just sort of surprised there was more to see. I figured the book would only not cover a few jokes or dialogue in the film. I didn't realise it would miss out entire characters.
So yeah just for the record the cameos included in the novel were Dallas, Juanita and Neftin Prog (mentioned only).
Who do you suppose the cameos might be? I want to say the Plumber, Skidd and Al (especially since he's already confirmed for the game), but the movie could surprise us. I do know that, when I was reading the novel, at the beginning when Ratchet was working out, I thought that the fitness instructor on Ratchet's TV was Helga, which would have been pretty cool. However, the instructor was just described as a generic Ranger Trooper, and referred to by the narration as a "he," so I guess that rules her out… or does it? Dun, dun, DUUUUN!
I dunno.
I would guess those three as well. Budget wise it makes sense since we already know Al is in the game. and the Plumber has to have his scene somewhere to offer cryptic advice. But yeah what if the Solana trooper does turn out to be a new version of Helga.
Plus was anyone else surprised to read Grimroth was a Fongoid.
