The engine is probably the Reach engine. The talk was given after Halo 3 ODST was out, so they were probably working on the Reach engine at the time. My guess is the new IP will be using a new version of the Reach engine.
I doubt that the new IP will use the Reach Engine, since it was optimized for Halo on an Xbox. Bungie is developing across multiplatforms now. That means they need a new graphics and mechanics engine to handle all the new tools they would have to develop for compatibilities across consoles and pc's/smartphones and the such. As well, I believe the engine they created may fall under rights by Microsoft, since it was a tool they couldn't have been able to make without IP funding by microsoft. Sooooo, not the reach engine. Plus these graphics look too good to be a Reach engine. Just from the short snips of what we saw, I can tell you this i much more advanced. Close to a Dice Frostbite2 engine or even better.
