This is great news!

Oh yes, yes YES!!!! The engine was amazing when Oblivion came out but it really started to show its age. Now all that's left to do is remove the level scaling, make all npcs killable and a proper UI for the PC version.

I can sleep in peace until the 11th of November. :)

They revealed this a while ago. Before they had even said what they were making, Todd Howard had been giving interviews stating that they were working hard on a new engine (I read it in both EDGE and GAMEStm). 
 
Still, glad to hear it.

I don't think everybody should be getting so excited about getting rid of Gamebryo glitchiness.  New engines are more than a little prone to having lots of bugs.  Also, this engine is built by a lot of the same people who built the Gamebryo engine.
 
Still, it will be nice just to have a new look to the game.

It sure isn't. Todd Howard pretty much said this in a rcent EGM interview. Also I think people are giving idtech 5 more credit than it should deserve. In that interview Howard alluded to that engine not being dynamic enough for what they wanted out of an Elder Scrolls game.
 
I mean Rage isn't even going to have day/night cycles. John Carmack says it's because there's always a time of day where any scene will look like complete crap, no matter how much work an artist puts into it and they're going for visual perfection. I frankly don't believe that. "

Frankly, kid, you have no experience at all with 3d dynamic lighting and don't know shit. Some devs just throw a single directional light in the sky and call it a day, and you can tell when they do that cus the shadows look like ass. "

Oh hey, it's a troll. Come back when you have something to say that' has some intent other than to condescend, "Kid."  BTW if you want the ability to ignore users so badly, why not use your own mental filters and ignore the posts manually? Because then you'd starve to death without people feeding the trolls. You would literally post nothing at all. "

I'd like you to know a single thing about something before acting like you're an expert. Dynamic lighting is hard, building a really good day night cycle into an engine is hard. People who have any kind of 3d experience know that, random jackasses who have opinions on shit they know nothing about don't know that. And now you know. Some people here actually know a few things about the logistics that go into a game engine, so you can't just guess and hope nobody notices you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. K? "

Its just gonna be a reskinned and maybe renamed Gamebryo.

" Thank. Christ. 
 
I loved Morrowind and Oblivion when I played them but going back to them is like pulling wisdom teeth. Given a new engine, TES is a relevant series.  "

I like that people are getting excited about Bethesda using a new game engine... 
 
...the same way they got excited about Gamebryo whenever Oblivion was coming out. 
 
People, don't build yourself up for disappointment.  Wait until we get reports from actual gameplay time.

" Hopefully that means a new engine for the next Fallout game. "

CryEngine3. That'd be sweet.

Best thing I've heard all month. Let's just hope the new one isn't also janky as fuck, feeling optimistic though.

Great now now maybe I can actually use ladders.

Ya, like that's gonna happen. "

From RPS: 

"There was some debate over what engine the new Elder Scrolls game would be using, and all signs seemed to point to GameBryo. However, writing on Twitter earlier today, Bethesda Softworks community manager Nick Breckon said: “We can now confirm that the TES V: Skyrim engine is all-new. And it looks fantastic.” I asked him what “new” means in this case, and whether it was simply a new version of the Gamebryo engine that powered Oblivion and the recent Fallout games. He responded: “It’s a new graphics/gameplay engine built internally. We’ll have more details down the road.”
 
I'll wait for them to show it before passing judgement.  The language seems somewhat... evasive.

That's great, so it won't look so early gen now.

I hope there's no bugs... 
 
LMAO!

I thought they said it was just a "heavily modified" version of Gamebryo. Kind of like how the Oblivion engine was a new engine, when in reality it was just a modified version of the Morrowind engine.

YES YES YES YES YES yes yes yes yes yes yes YES YES YES YES YES YES yes yeseseesesessesesseeee 
 
YES >insert exclamation mark< !! 
 
I have been wanting this ever since playing Fallout: New Vegas.

yeah nice. i hope that my computer can run it. i doubt but it's great compared to the console ones.

" please be idtech, please be idtech...  it's not gonna be idtech. "

Bitchin'! A whole new engine filled to the bursting point with bugs. Oh, the glorious bugs!

" @Vitor: I keep hearing this, but no one has posted a link to this rumor. What has made people think that this "New Engine" is just a modified Gamebryo? "

And there was much rejoicing.

" Thank god.  I can't think of anything else to say. I'm ready for more Elder Scrolls! "

I would have been happy with the current one, but this is even better!

I don't really think there was anything totally wrong with the engine.  Though it includes jank, open world games would feel weird without it no?  Optimization would be nice but we hate on it because of how much more jankier the engine seemed as Fallout 3 and New Vegas came out.  All I remember complaining about in Oblivion was the load times on the 360 and the framerate hiccups and vomits.  Yeah, not much else for me.  But its a new engine... so its not on Rage Engine?  I guess it wouldn't be since they were working on it a while now.  more than 5 years since oblivion came out. 
Either way, I am building a new PC for this game, and am thinking about getting an SSD just to make sure this shit runs smoothly and fast. 
 
Also, they they need a new nuclear apocalypse game, go back to your roots bethesda!!! Terminator!!!! 
 
Anyone have a link to the video that came out showing a new game engine that people were speculating would be for the next elder scrolls, and i think it had a dragon in it.

About fucking time. It felt like forever that they've been using that old engine.

This can either be fantastic news or horrible news.
