Please let it be ID Tech 5, that would be truly amazing. That background on the twitter post looks like RAGE?

Sadly this is true. What incentive is there to push PC gaming technology boundaries when they've got to get it running on consoles too.
Quoted for truth. In all honesty It will probably look like Oblivion for the console users then have some DX11 shaders bolted on somewhere to make shadows or water look slightly better for PC users.
But I hope it doesn't

WTF is that picture in the background from ... it looks spectacular !! Is that the new ID engine and are Bethesda using it ... think I just sex pee'd.
I need answers
That looks like the game Rage, which is also by Bethesda??
Or am I getting confused...

No Rage is developed by id Software. Both id and Bethesda are owned by Zenimax Media and can share each other's technology.

I apologise, and you've cheered me up.
No that the old engine was bad, but it was bug riddled.
If this is something new then maybe the bugs won't be buried so deep under the covers.

Not too confident tbh, loved the heck out of number three, but you'd be kidding yourself if you thought they'd follow that formula for the fifth game.
What would worry people more i guess, is all the modding you could do to oblivion to make it much more than it was, won't be available with the advent of all things dlc/costing.

Most people seem to be speculating on the webs that the "New Engine" spiel is a bit naughty. To say its completely new could just a matter of opinion/marketing.
We must take note that one of the first thing that filled the forums after the ESV announcement were people saying "I hope they use a different engine", so it would be fair to guesstimate Bethesda may have reacted to this.
It definitely wont be IDtech5 though. Too short a timeframe unfortunately. Future games though guaranteed.
Fallout 4 maybe *crosses fingers*

was said it's not the gfx that's the issue.

The graphics in the gamebryo engine isn't what the problem is though.
The vast majority of the bugs and glitches you see in these games have nothing to do with the engine. They come from the fact these games are so complicated, it's virtually impossible to test every little thing.
Civ4, zoo tycoon and Pirates! use the same engine. They're not as buggy because they're not as complicated as games like fo3 or oblivion.
If oblivion had been made in the source engine, all the scripting and AI glitches would still be there, because these games are a lot more complicated than running down corridors shooting stuff, watching the occasional set piece and killing a giant baby at the end.
I'd disagree. Most of production time is spent building an engine. Beth could have been working using the iD Tech 5 engine to create the game world whilst their artists added the rest. Given the lack of activity (aside from RAGE) within iD its also possible that some of their coders, artists, etc may have helped get things running quickly. Until I see otherwise I'm not ruling it out.

Have we had any screenshots yet?
