To name a few:

- Production time is increased, ie. a character sometimes takes four times as long to create
- Pipeline is more complex, changes later on are harder to make
- Completely new techniques (more complex shaders require more technical talents)
- 3D applications are still catching up with the new techniques (ie. only in the last version of Maya normalmap creation is a smooth process)

But the good thing is that there is a lot more freedom in designing the world and characters, much less limitations :)
