Thanks for the update. So excited.

I did message you my email. Anyway to confirm you have it ?

Ah man. Thanks so much. Really the most exciting thing coming from the Alien universe for me.

Hi! I've been following the updates of your fanedit, and I'm very excited for it! It looks awesome!

[Project A34K]

Hi folks,

Final update before the release. The edit is now complete. We're currently exporting three versions on three machines, and we hope (all going well) we'll be sending out download links on 04/04/25. If everything is tied off before then we'll get it out sooner, but that seems to be the landing zone our math has led us to.

Version 1 will be HD 8mbps, H.264 8bit.
Version 2 will be 4K 20mbps, H.265 8bit.
Version 3 will be 4K 40mbps, H.265 10bit.

I'd announced previously the audio would be a stereo upmix, but that's no longer the case. The delays have given us the time to make a true edit of the original 5.1. Audio on all three versions will be AAC 1536kbps but version 3 will have a secondary track of the uncompressed WAV file.

Thanks again to everyone for the support and patience, and we're so excited for you to see the end result. We couldn't be happier.

Anyone who hasn't already, please do message with your email so we can get you on the mailing list.

Will this edit contain any subtitles?

[Project A34K]

Yes! English subtitles are softcoded

This is so exciting.  I genuinely loved Alien3 on release but it needs a few visual upgrades to take it to the next level.

[Russ840]

Oh yes. What are the file sizes going to be ?

[Project A34K]

Version 1 will be HD 8mbps, H.264 8bit (approx 10gb).

Version 2 will be 4K 20mbps, H.265 8bit (approx 25gb).

Version 3 will be 4K 40mbps, H.265 10bit (approx 50gb).

Hicks. You gonna review this ?

[Corporal Hicks]

Not sure about any reviews as such yet, but I believe Project A34K will be joining us on the podcast once we've watched it to discuss.
