So I came by an old GoW III preview article from a year back, and the developers mentions how they can have up to 50 enemies on screen at a time.  And one of the first trailers for the game has a bunch of dudes on the back of Gaia (and where Kratos breaks the chains off of her at the end).  After beating the game of normal, I don't ever remember that many dudes on screen at a time?  Does this happen in the harder difficulties?  Just wondering.

The most I saw was, around thirty maybe give or take 5.

The most i ever saw were like 10 and those were those stupid dogs, or scorpions.

When you fight the Centaur lord in Tartarus, there must have been more than 15 enemies on screen there.

I don't think it ever happens. And you know what? I'm damn glad it doesn't. There's enough shit on the screen as it is. Far too often, I can't even tell what the hell was going on. On Normal, that makes the game boring. I'm just button mashing; not because I want to, but because I have no choice -- how the hell am I supposed to apply any sort of skill when I can't even tell where my dude is? On Very Hard, it makes the game offensively awful. When there are upwards of ten enemies -- or ever worse, more -- on the screen at the same time and the camera is shaking left and right, it's literally impossible to keep track of their attack signals (and let's not even talk about the bosses, and their painfully ambiguous (especially when coupled with the often horrible camera) animations).

Definitely more, but I cannot really say definitively. That seems like the only moment though. "

To be fair, one of the challenge rooms in the Challenge of Olympus mode is about having less than 50 enemies on the screen at one time. However, I can't say I ever saw that many in the actual game. I wanna say the Hercules fight probably came the closest, though. In all honesty though, I would much rather have fight like Cronos or Poseidan(?) than 50 regular grunts on the screen.

Dude the challenges has 50 on screen at a time

So I take it there's no way to get the 1000-hit combo trophy?

It would probably be just too many enemies.  I just spawned a bunch of different enemies in the arena and there was so much stuff going on I couldn't keep track and had no control, but there were only like 20 things on screen.
