Bethesda has announced Quake Arena Arcade will finally launch on Xbox Live Arcade come December 15.

The game, announced three years ago, is a homage to Quake 3 Arena where you and up to 15 pals can go at it in six different gaming modes through over 30 classic maps and 12 arenas.

There’s a single-player campaign too as well.

Bethesda told Eurogamer a price will be revealed next week.

Yeah. I don’t even know why anyone would want to play a first-person shooter with a controller, let alone a game as awesome as quake.

Played it quite a bit, not that fun with a pad really.

Stick with the PC version.

I managed to play Q3 on a Dreamcast pad, playing on 360 should work fine. Sure the game is more befitting of a mouse, but so long as everyone’s on an even playing field it’s not that big a deal.

I’m interested to see if there is a Auto-Aim… because if there is Auto-Aim =/ Than this will be full of Lawl.

Without mouse playing this game is like playing Tennis with the pan. Thats basically how it is.

and this game has the same engine that Call Of duty use these days. Basically your Call Of duty is Quake 3:Arena just with modern guns and with own slow mechanic for consoles.
