Mixture of original research and nonsense. VasileGaburici (talk) 05:07, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Based on the title this article claims to be about bump mapping implementation techniques in "sixth generation consoles". What this article actually contains (by section):
- "What are they": a catalog of bump mapping theoretical concepts, covered in detail elsewhere.
- "Implementing":
- a few hardware details about various game consoles, probably covered elsewhere (didn't check all).
- An unsourced speculative analysis that attempts to determine how well-suited are the various consoles to implement bump mapping. This seems original research.
- "Issues with use on PS2/GC":
- An original research analysis that details how well bump mapping looks in various PS2/GC games, and attempts to guess what bump mapping techinique was used in each game.
Bottom line: this article engages in speculation, lacks any technical depth, and when read start to end, doesn't make any sense. VasileGaburici (talk) 05:38, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete -- what's useful is elsewhere, and what's original isn't very good. -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 14:29, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Some of the information can be added to bump mapping and then the article can be deleted.--SkyWalker (talk) 18:30, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete — Original research does not pay; you cannot make non-trivial assumptions or inferences from sources. MuZemike (talk) 21:06, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
