When will we see Bump Mapping used more?

I'm sick of flat walls with textures 'painted' on. Is anything coming out designed around bump mapping (any kind)?

Maybe for water effects? :(
I see them frequently for X-Box games (Halo, Tony Hawk (supposedly). Perhaps design philosophy for the PC side is just to keep using higher and higher res textures and higher poly counts.
