We’ve been talking internally about switching from Unity 3D to Unreal Engine (UE4). Here is my breakdown of the pros and cons of switching to UE4.

Cons

  • Unity has larger userbase
  • Possibly less optimized for mobile
  • Possibly less optimized for 2D apps
  • Years of development on Unity could take years to replace with Unreal

Pros

  • Quality/ visual fidelity
  • Possible performance improvements
  • C++ is our developers native coding language
  • More responsive product team
  • More affordable
  • Visual system for blueprint/shaders
