Even in 1996, having two playable protagonists was a big deal to some. Especially considering each one had a somewhat divergent story path that mixed it up for players.

But did you know that originally, four playable characters were planned?

Dewey, a medic, was styled on Eddie Murphy in terms of humour and characteristics. Whilst the character was dropped, the name was used for Bravo team's pilot, Edward Dewey.

The big man, Gelzer, was a cybernetically enhanced unit that was initially planned to hold up a falling ceiling. That instead became the "Jill sandwich" part of video gaming legend.

Maybe the Ustanak from Resident Evil 6 was what became of his early template...?
