I grew up with this game and I've been waiting YEARS for another petz game as good and well made as this!! And you know what I think the graphics look better in this game then they do in the newer petz games!!
Okay I know this comment was from 2 years ago but still, Petz 6 would be so cool, like imagine if it ended up being really realistic, with really good graphics and having dog or cat litters would be even more adorable than it already is, I would kinda miss the old Petz style but it would still be awesome.
"It is important to note the only way the player can interpret how the pet's are feeling is through their actions and visual cues, in the same way an audience interprets an actors performance. We do not display bar graphs or text messages describing the pet's internal variables, biorhythms, or emotional state. By forcing a natural interpretation of the pet's behavior we don't break the illusion of a relationship with something alive."
I wish there were more games as good as petz, and even though petz is really old with the graphics not nearly as good as the graphics in something like sims 3, its still a very well made game, when I first played petz I was very impressed to how much time and effort was put into this game and just how good it is, and in fact petz is such an awesome game that there are still a few handfuls of people playing it today,after over 10 years! I can tell cause there's a petz forum that's surprisingly very active, RKC petz forums if your wondering.
I have no idea what I'm watching but I'm pretty impressed that the animation and their facial expressions look so good that they felt actually adorable despite the graphics are limited (comparing to the technologies in 2019)
The animation is unbelieavably good ! Is it all pre-canned animation or library triggered by AI ? I am not familiar with the petz series but downloading a trial of petz5 I can see Rob Fulop's point, the transition to realistic graphics killed the liveliness of what I see here !
I miss these "petz". New ones suck so hardcore. They don't strut around in boots, or hang onto a ball as you fling it through the air. I miss this so bad.
lol, no. Not unless you download mods from the internet. (For instance, occasionally people will create dogs with a cat model, and if you breed the "cat" with one of your actual cats, it will technically be recognized as a cat by the computer, even though it looks like some mutant catdog thing. xD )
20 years later the behavior of Petz STILL holds up against modern tech. I love them so much
This animation is freakin' impressive for being real-time 1998 Windows stuff.
this is nostalgic as hell.

they should make Petz 6. It could be able to still have custom breeds
we need to get a petition or a kick starter going for this!!
I feel the same way, virtual pet games today are crap compared to petz
i would buy a petz 6 based on one of these -.-
petz was my childhood...

It’s crazy to me that this video was only uploaded 9 years after 1998. 2007 doesn’t seem that long ago to me.
I miss these guys, was such a fun product to work on!
did you work on Petz?! Were you part of the movement that is PF Magic
If you were part of the production team thank you for making my childhood so great 😁🤩🙀
Oh my god I just got hit with SO much nostalgia. Man, I would totally go back and play these old games no problem
that bulldog was smart he was burring the bottle so he would not get sprayed
I wanna fuckin CRY!! This was my entire childhood!

But can they save Trip and Grace's marriage?
Dog: *Bites Trip*
Trip: You know what? Bingo, that's it! You need to leave! *takes dog to door* We'll be fine, YOU just have to go! *slams door*
I wish they made a game that combined Petz with Babyz and allowed the babyz to grow to school age! :D
The nostalgia, I played this when i have 4, now i have 11
I have no idea what I'm watching but I'm pretty impressed that the animation and their facial expressions look so good that they felt actually adorable despite the graphics are limited (comparing to the technologies in 2019)
BRINGS BACK GOOD MEMORIES!!!
I wish it was still here
The animation is unbelieavably good !

Thanks for posting it. It helped me understand Petz a lot more.
I have been looking everywhere online to see if I can find this game but no luck I want to cry
hi. i'm 11 years late but i hope you found it. if not i can help :)
I miss these "petz". New ones suck so hardcore. They don't strut around in boots, or hang onto a ball as you fling it through the air. I miss this so bad.
this was the best Petz
The animation is actually really clever. I'm surprized.
Trip and Grace need a dog.
did u make this?
Actually, u mean it's not sold in stores anymore. U can still by it online. That's how I got my copy of catz 5. It's really fun!
I don't find it on market, do you know where i can find it? It's also my childhood!
I loved this game
@jmat9892 You can buy those games on amazon/eBay. Sorry it took so long for a answer, I just saw the comment.
i used to play this like when i was...4-6?jeez...good times
I thought Petz 5 stretched it a little...I've never played Petz6, I didn't know they made any after Petz 5. o_o;
Yeah I have heard some talk about a Petz6 what is that?
this is awesome! The games now r so high tech and CONFUSING, but this is awesome. (Like I said)
Даже выход этого видео старше чем я...
Thank god I still have a working Petz 5 game on my cd! xDDDD
WOW that's so much better than I see other virtual pet shit now! wow. just wow e.e
I think I saw the bulldog doing a handstand!👍
I used to be cruel to my Petz. I'd throw spraybottles all over the place so they'd run into them and get splashed.
I was such a sadistic 7 year old.
Hyper Chihuahuas!
Sounds like Chip got into the Super Emeralds...
i thing this is the best off all the petz games! :) :p x)
You guys can get petz 4 for free! Download the petz 4 demo then download PetzA from sherlock software! It works, trust me!
lol, no. Not unless you download mods from the internet. (For instance, occasionally people will create dogs with a cat model, and if you breed the "cat" with one of your actual cats, it will technically be recognized as a cat by the computer, even though it looks like some mutant catdog thing. xD )
I wasn't even alive in this time, yet this makes me think back... :o
its funny petz is a year older than babys and i found a petz 5 at a zellerz but no babyz! i REALLY want a babyz game
i love this game
I had nintendogs, and I liked this way better.
You can't get Nintendogs to fall in love and have babies that resemble both of their parents' characteristics.
We all do 😪
This was my SHIT!!!
Also, 4:29 was my favorite catz expression
AHHH SAME HERE!!
It buried the spray bottle XD
As for my petz behavior... they like to shake their buttz at me.
It's all good up until 6. Then it became crap.
This game babysat me O_O when i was like 2
I like the old games like this a lot more than the crap they make now
Lol my mom was only 14 when this came out.
Quite good for 1998, I'd say.
I know.... i have petz 5 too.
Back in my day, before all the hyper-realistic CGI stuff we got in the 2000's, this was the shit, man!
It still is to me🤣
i will! i love them :D ^^
Dogz and Catz 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were AWESOME! But UbiSoft just fucked it up:(
That's so funny!! My Border Collie, Fly, loves to snatch the Watering Can from the carrying case!! She just loves it, and I don't know why...:)
The originals were the best.
Creators of Facade :D
this game has a ton lot of stuff than babyz,but ok,babyz are also great!
need your email, talk on msn or aim or email.
@Phillovich MINE TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Petz 4 was a virus and 5 does take up alot of memory!
Buti really dont care so am getting petz 5 and trun off intenet :D
what?
melon
I have unwanted dogz if anyone wants to adopt.
ATTENTION EVERYONE!
@LoveMeanKitties They fucked it up by turning it into a DS game. LOLWTF.
I hate this new "Petz" crap! The older games, like this, were 10000000000000000000000000000000000000 times better!
