* On the staircases in most apartment blocks in the game, 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 suggests they have passed away, though it is likely metaphorical as GTA III canon is over so they won't be seen again. 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]
* On the staircases in most apartment blocks in the game, some graffiti pay homage to past protagonists set in GTA III canon ([[Claude]], [[Tommy Vercetti|Tommy]], [[Carl Johnson|Carl (CJ)]], [[Toni Cipriani|Toni]], and [[Vic Vance|Vic]]) in the form of scribblings of their names on the walls.

* One of the [[TV Shows in GTA IV|TV shows]] is a program called ''The Venturas Poker Challenge''. It features a casino in [[Las Venturas]] from GTA San Andreas. When shown, the commercial doesn't have GTA IV graphics and art, it features GTA San Andreas graphics, the most obvious being the Taxi.
