the know how is everything and udk comes with the most professional knowlege base coming with an actual AAA game demo against prototype quality demo and tutorials that shows clearly many limitation.
In unity is easyer to prototype something as in udk you have to get the real meaning of the "unreal way" before to accomplish something more than few things explayned in tutorial for dummyes.
After that learning step udk become really accessible even for unesperienced programmers.
That step however can be to much for many people and on udk forum 80% of people just don't understand the relation between some few basic classes and cannot get into the pattern used in udk and aren't able to follow tool manuals and probably 50% never readed all the manuals and started using tools just for play and get lost on one of the 8000 features or get stressed by some unrealistic development ideas alimented by using the same engine as AAA games.
Most of the people try to get few common goals never thinking by their head but just asking others waiting probably for a specific tutorial to come and following some strange modes.
If someone want to play around unity even without c# but just with javascript internal ide can be considered the best way to do something from zero with a huge smile for the early achievemens they got in learning something new.
Udk have to be taken seriously and probably only if you are serious about a job in game industry or modding as a main serious hobby.
So if we are taking about small teams that realistically can realease a qualitative game or even a free mod udk remain the best choice.
If we are talking about single developers maybe young and inesperienced that just want to try to get rich in a much accessible market as ios unity is a really good choice, at least to release something, not to reach the minimum pay out where unesperienced people fail as on unity as on whatever else.

Originally, I had a disclaimer saying it was biased, I have put that back. It is biased towards Unity and Sinsoft uses Unity.

Nonbiased?! The entire time he was referring to UDK as the inferior, any time it had a leg up it was "Unity blablablah, UDK might have mehh" or "Unity can do as much as UDK if blablablah" as well as "The only thing UDK has over Unity is blablablah"

Seriously? In the end, it's really up to the type of game you're after?
If that's the case then I guess nobody is after a Unity game considering Unreal is the most used in the industry and Unity has squat.

Thank You! Very informative.

As an Unreal developer with source level access, I can say that Unity must be the better engine.

Excelent comparison, I'm astonished. Most of all because it's really unbiased. Nice work :)

Hi there,
This is about the most non-biased comparison I have seen regarding what most people are evaluating Unity3D or UDK.

I am new to all this game stuff, but long time developer of 15+yrs and am thinking of persuing my own personal challenge for some stimulation.

I know extremely little about modelling, making sounds (although I am musically capable) and so forth, but know enough about the basics of what ingredients to use to want to learn a lot more about each.

I haven't tried either, and I may follow your footsteps in the anticipation of Unity3D 3.0 before making a conclusion myself.

Thank you :)
