Outdated golden statues in the memorial hall

Is it only me who is bugged by the pre-release items and guns that the golden statues have in the memorial hall? They should be replaced with the newest character and gun models imo.

"The Memorial Hall serves to preserve remembrance of old-time memories.
"Where is that written?"
"In the name 'Memorial Hall'."

I didnt play as much back then and didnt care much for details when I did play but I remember the lack of reload anims,the shooting range sign and very early versions of the bar n stuff

There should be an in-game past too. Why not making that it? Deep rock just finally invested into better equipment.

Although I do agree that what you say makes sense,when I wrote this down I thought of the pre release guns as placeholder models which were going to be replaced by better,higher detail versions that we see now.
I didnt think of it as a lore based change but only a development wise change because it made more sense to me that way

There's no reason to change it because its paying homage to the past iteration of the game. Hence the name "Memorial Hall".

You have to have been one of the folks to play in closed alpha, I think.

Source: I'm up on that board.

I guess that is true..
But I still think that the new models would look better

You do know that those statues are literally the same poses from the cover art of the game?

TBH they're just pulling this outta their rear ends to rationalize it don't overthink it too much.

Are the reflections of the old alpha station in certain windows also some space time anomaly or a clever easter egg- too?
