* Descending down the stairs of your first apartment in [[Hove Beach]], you may spot some graffiti referring to past protagonists set in GTA III canon ([[Claude]], [[Tommy Vercetti|Tommy]], [[Carl Johnson|Carl (CJ)]], [[Toni Cipriani|Toni]], and [[Vic Vance|Vic]]), that suggest they have passed away. This can also be seen in the building adjacent to [[Playboy X's Penthouse]], and inside [[Dwayne Forge|Dwayne Forge's]] apartment (visible in cutscenes). The graffiti is intended to serve as "a little joke for fans of the series", as a different design approach to GTA IV meant the games' timeline could only inherit various fictional brand names and certain radio personalities; it is, however, no indication as to whether or not GTA III canon has been retired.[http://www.rockstargames.com/news/2009/09/18/741/(updated)_asked_&_answered_%E2%80%93_re_vice_city_red_dead_redemption_and_chinatown_wars] | * Descending down the stairs of your first apartment in [[Hove Beach]], you may spot some graffiti referring to past protagonists set in GTA III canon ([[Claude]], [[Tommy Vercetti|Tommy]], [[Carl Johnson|Carl (CJ)]], [[Toni Cipriani|Toni]], and [[Vic Vance|Vic]]), that suggest they have passed away.

* There is a [[Sprunk]] manufacturing plant in [[Alderney]]. Sprunk was featured in [[GTA Vice City]], [[GTA San Andreas]], and [[Manhunt]]. It has returned to GTA IV with a brand new look. Also notice that "Sprunk" is a mix of the words "Sprite" and "Spunk". The sign outside the factory is very similar to a sign for Pepsi-Cola that appears in the film "The Great Gatsby." | * There is a [[Sprunk]] manufacturing plant in [[Alderney]].
