Unreal vs Unity

I did see this page.

It's a year old though, so I'm curious about how the individual IDEs have come since then.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of each with regards to Oculus development? Is one a clear better over the other or is it mainly up to preference?

    Unreal does have the upper-hand with graphics, at least by default. A talented team with good artists can make something great with nearly any engine. And I've seen some nice stuff with Unity as well. In any case, if you're an indie developer you shouldn't worry about that last 10% of graphics fidelity when there are much more important things like fun gameplay, original concepts, good art direction, etc.


    but which would be the easiest platform to pump out programs or are they equal?


    Unity will definitely be the winner here, while UE has made massive progress in this regard, it's not up to par with Unity yet.

    I find Unity to be easier to work with by a good margin.
