2d in 3d - disadvantages?

1024x1024??? Holy crap! 8-0
Ok, so I'll stick with 640x480 backgrounds. I was thinking of 256x256 sprites (They are the character animations), but I really would like to see more detail.
I don't really see much options for an adventure game though - no particle effects planned.
Anyway, thanks for the advice!
