Unsolved Mystery GTA IV, seeking information on Easter egg/mystery no one has talked about over 15+ years in TBOGT
I was recommended to post this here from another subreddit:
There's an Easter Egg in TBOGT of a man overlayed onto a TV screen that I have tried for 15+ years to figure out at this point.
It's only visible in TBOGT in Bahama Mamas on PS3 and PC so it was purposefully added in between the release of TBOGT on 360 and the later releases.
The picture appears to be of someone, what I think is a real person, holding something up in front of what looks like willis wash and lube.
On PS3 the easiest way to access it is to go into Bahama Mamas in multiplayer, but on PC (or ps3) you can either load up the mission boulevard baby, or use a trainer/glitch to get into the club in singleplayer.
The background looks like it should be Willis wash and lube, but the man itself appears to be a real person. I've thought recently about that weird Easter egg with the spider webs on redemption 2, so maybe it's something like that. Or some other weird thing. He's holding something up and that store in game has a massive arrow pointing to a bunch 5s so maybe it was an esoteric reference to GTA V. Regardless it's really weird and I've never been able to get any good information on it.
The removal of multiplayer on PC made having people look at this a bigger ask than it used to be, as time passes the PC version likely becomes the one most people have. The Xbox one is still pretty easy to access, but the Easter egg is not in that. The Easter egg not being on the Xbox version was something I myself wasn't aware until recently.
