Often the most impressive screenshots are the ones that look least impressive. It's (comparatively) easy to have screenshots that look great if it's using a lot of assets with baked lighting. It's a testament to the designer's effort, but says very little about the engine. Real-time ambient occlusion, radiosity, global illumination, refraction, etc... that's the kind of thing that is (technically) impressive in an engine, but so var very little of this (beautiful) Unreal/Unity/* demos actually deliver that. And that's a shame. The craft deserves praise, but there's a distinction between asset creation praise (to the designer) and technical rendering praise (the engine).
