Unreal vs Unity?

For an experienced VR app developer with a high level of expertise in both Unreal and Unity, which platform is the better one for making an Oculus Quest 2 app?

 

I am part of a team at the very beginning stages of developing a series of apps for the Oculus Quest 2. Our team is currently split between using Unity and C# vs Unreal and C++.

 

What do you think?

This is probably going to sound negative but....an experienced developer would probably know which engine they'd prefer to develop in.

 

Are you going to make the most of the extra rendering features of UE? If not then maybe Unity is better for you.

Are you able to prototype and deploy faster in Unity?

Are you making a multiplayer game?

Does your team have more artists/designers than coders? If so then maybe using UE and blueprints is better.

    Thanks for your response.

     

    We have not hired the development team yet. We have narrowed our search down to two teams, one that is pushing for Unreal and the other is pushing for Unity. They each have a variety of reasons they suggest their preferred platform would be best, but I do not have the information needed to decide between the two.

     

    The game is very similar to Pokerstars VR, although it does not involve gambling. I have no idea what the extra rendering features of UE are, nor do I know which platform I could use to deploy fastest. Can you help me determine that?

     

    The game is definitely multiplayer, hopefully millions of people from around the world.

     

    Both teams have a number of designers and 3d artists.

     

    Thanks again for your response. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
