Hell, they even introduce a brand new character at the start of 3, only to have him vanish and not be heard from again for the rest of the movie. Rigg (the swat guy) and Hoffman (the new guy) are the stars of part 4. And as we found out at the end of part 4, part 3 and part 4 happen concurrently. Rigg was barely in 3 because he was busy with the events of 4 at the time. Also, Rigg was the last surviving ally of Det. Matthews from part 2. As that characters fate was one of the main plot points of part 4, Rigg was the obvious choice for that story.

Again, it's the way they weave all the movies together like that that will have me there buying a ticket for Saw V on opening night. YMMV
