Unity to Unreal

Hiya
Ive been dabbling in Ocuuls VR for unity for a few years now, and starting to look into Unreal for other projects, ut also VR.

One thing Im wondering.   Unity seems to have OculusVR really supported well..with the player controllers, camera packages, touch packages etc.
I can simply add the package , drop in the relevant controllers and it works .

Does unreal have the same? Ive looked in the stores, dev pages, forum threads but dont see the equivalent.

Is there anything available or worth looking into either free supported, or paid product on marketplace.

What are devs here generally using.
Also...prefer First Person/Third Person player controllers that are compatible. (can be a paid market product)

Thanks!

-Paul

    Hiya
    Sorry just bumping this..There are plenty of Unreal based Oculus games, and I'm sure quite a few indie so wondering what people use for starting, as Unity seems to have a good initial integration but the Unreal  default VF setup seems to be very lacking.  is there an oculus integration package or Unreal that Ive missed? or any 3rd party ones worth looking into

    Looking for decent VR integration , and third person player controller.

    Thanks!

    Hiya Bunny

    Yeah Ive gone thru all that already..but Im just surprised that the Unity Oculus integration is way more advanced that he unreal one by default.

    From the player controller, Hand/touch integration.   

    To get beyond the basic integration provided for unreal are people just building on from there or are there 3rd party alternatives that have become a favorite starting point for the unreal dev community here?

    Cheers

    Besides the default vr project, unreal doesn't offer more packages. Its up to the devs themselves. 
    There are a few plugins that have a lot of the basic and advanced vr functionality. Look on the unreal forum, vr section.
