The 2014 Develop Conference concluded with a round of awards today, leaving a few big names holding big trophies.
We learned that Mark Cerny would receive the Development Legend, primarily in recognition of his work as lead architect on PlayStation 4, back in May. Other standout recipients include Rockstar North, who took home Studio of the Year, Visual Arts (for Grand Theft Auto V) and In-House Studio, and Sony Computer Entertainment Strategic Content Department, which was crowned Publishing Hero.
