While we didn’t get any specifics on what exactly 'other developers' means, our source commented that Retro’s work involves both internal and external projects. The icing on the cake? Apparently Retro showed off their Wii U magic to Epic Games and got them to reconsider bringing Unreal Engine 4 to the system."
Currently, the original developers are credited via a generic slate.
It's safe to say that it's the original developers who conceptualised and built these games in such a way that they're worthy of a remaster or remake today. Even if they had nothing to do with the new iteration, the dev team behind a remaster would be nowhere without the original vision – and so, the original dev team deserves a place in the credits of a remaster. That's exactly how former Retro studios engineer Zoid Kirsch feels.
Depending on how long the credits are for the current team, I can see why it would be decided not to essentially double that.
How long or short credits are is irrelevant. Every man or woman who put their time into the creation of anything (tv, movies, animation etc too) should have their names stamped on it, no excuses.
Noone realistically sits and reads every name and actually thanks them, but it's important to the people involved to have it there for what small validation or thanks it brings them. A little thing they can show their friends and family for years to come and feel proud to have contributed to. Kind of like seeing your face for 1 frame in the crowd on TV at a football match and having your own little stamp to show you were there.
Without those original devs, there is no beloved game to remaster and put new names on. Disappointing Nintendo, do the right thing and patch it in.
Tim Burton’s vision of Gotham brought to life by passionate fans.
Someone else was commissioned to do the music and another person modelled the batmobile. Links to all involved are included in the article.
They should have been made a batman game for the best batman movie. This looks amazing and now I must watch the movie.

YouTube's 'ackehallgren' has recreated the Rimmer's Rest from Star Wars Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight in Unreal Engine 4.

Retro are masters at maximizing Nintendo hardware for visuals. Factor 5 wasn't too shabby either.
Good news, if its true. Retro studios is definitely whats leading the way in terms of Nintendo's high quality games.
Wooo!
That is all.
Is Unreal Engine 4 Good or bad. How does it benefit pros and cons on Unreal Engine 4. If its that good then great :D.
