If they have actually remade the games in unreal engine I would be impressed. Was expecting a lazy cash grab here.
They've probably just converted the games to use Unreal Engine because they think it's easier than upgrading their old engine to support what's expected from remasters on new consoles, but I bet they're still going to look exactly like your typical remasters. The most recent Doom releases (and I mean the 90s games), for example, use Unity, which is extremely capable graphically. The fact that an engine can do impressive stuff doesn't mean that games running on it do.
