I was initially dead set on the idea that it should simply exist as an alias for the proper Gears of War game page. However it appears that literally all of the cutscenes have been completely redone and mo-capped, not to mention the assets themselves have all been retextured and all that. For example here's the cutscene for Kim's death in the original vs Ultimate Edition. Oh, and spoilers - LULZZZZZZZZZ.
Mechanically there's not that much to set it apart, beyond some minor adjustments like letting you switch weapons whilst roadie running, as well as packing in certain weapons and character/weapon skins from Gears 3 like the Retro Lancer. They're including all of what was originally PC-exclusive content as well just to add another bullet point.
Still, visually speaking this is clearly more than some resolution boost. What's also important to add is that Halo: Combat Evolved received its own page for its remastering as well, even though the most notary difference between the two is the graphical overhaul it received.
