I'm not going to download the game till release, but someone might want to try:

2002 - Rare was acquired by Microsoft
2007 - Tim and Chris Stamper left Rare
2009 - Rare's current year (just like everyone else)

just some ideas

I tried 2009 and 2007. But he said signature rare number. What would be a signature rare number?

Ok, I feel like an idiot. Rare (then known as Ultimate) released their first game, Jetpac, in 1983. try that

I believe this is right b/c TipTup said "so close" to 1982

that might be right. I definitely spawned the rare gaming company stuff. It was the first thing that came to mind when he said 'rare' in quotes. Also made sense because his name is spawned from a character in a rare game.

Yup. Can't see any other way of getting the number.
I still don't see how your second hint helps at all.

Now I'm tempted to view the source... I haven't gotten around to it yet, but it wouldn't take too long. It's almost like cheating though (well, it IS cheating). Maybe I'll just wait until 11/05/2009

Well, I went with ahead and viewed the source. It took me a bit to figure out, as I'm not too good at converting hex to decimal, luckily there's the internet for that. After I tried that, I realized that a missed a little '+4' in the code, which made me change my answer. I got it now. I don't get how any of your hints would have helped? Anyways, I'm glad to be playing now. The updated Z Blade looks nice.

Alright, now other people have seen it, any helpful hints that could help us? You guys said his hints weren't helpful. Any hints that wouldn't give it away?
