Electronic Arts' Godfather II is GTA-a-Like

EA's CEO John Riccitiello just spoke and spoke at the William Blair & Company’s 28th Annual Growth Stock Conference on June 17. First Take-Two and now a GTA-a-like Godfather follow-up.

"It's a game that I think we'll be talking a lot about this fall.

"You can play this game both at the street level, much like a GTA-style game, but you can also play it top-down, almost like you're in an RTS, controlling the strategy of the boroughs so you can see what's going on."

"Almost like an RTS", what does that even mean? Many have taken it to mean that it will be an RTS, but frankly why would you bother given the fact that the franchise if firmly based in the gangster-gang genre? Ideas to the Forum please.
