New Eden: Difference between revisions

* ''[[City of Heroes]]'' and its "expansionalone", ''City of Villains'' has a few zones that fit this trope. One example is the area previously named "Woodvale", but referred to in-game almost exclusively as "Eden". Here, the player can find many vistas of pristine wilderness trying to crawl its way back across a previously urban landscape. In a twist, all the nature ''hates humanity''.

** Not so much nature as a scientifically created [[The Virus|Virus]] created by a [[Mad Scientist]] environmentalist. There's the spirit of a true nature guardian killed by them that helps heroes.

* ''[[Mega Man X]] 5'' had [[Colony Drop|the crash of the Eurasia colony]] as the ecological disaster. Flash forward to ''[[Mega Man Zero]] 4'', and with [[Big Bad|Dr. Weil]] now ruling Neo Arcadia with an iron fist, the dissenters are fleeing to Area Zero, a land made naturally pristine thanks to an environmental conditioning system left active after the crash. Area Zero is the hope of the people in that fragment of the timeline for a life free of Weil's influence; fitting his role as the [[Big Bad]], Dr. Weil employs the Neo Arcadia militia to raze the area, up to and including manufacturing the [[Kill Sat|Ragnarok Satellite]] for just that end; needless to say the whole point of the game is to prevent Area Zero's demise.

* [[Command & Conquer|Tiberium Wars]] subverts it slightly. The first Blue Zone (think the First world) to be converted from a Yellow Zone (think Mogadishu with [[Toxic Phlebotinum]] added to the mix) is given the name New Eden. It is a subversion because it was a result of human (or more specifically, GDI) efforts and because it gets wrecked and is implied to revert to a Yellow Zone thanks to the Scrin blowing up Tiberium Deposits and using Tiberium-based weapons.
