CGI trailers always show off the best graphics for a video game, but the gameplay itself is usually underwhelming in comparison. Do you think we'll ever get to that point with a game engine?

Video games already play better than CGI trailers from past gens. Pre-rendered is always going to look better than live by nature of how it's produced. If you're hoping that the absolute cutting edge of pre-rendered cinematic will someday be equalled by the visuals of an in-game engine you're just fundamentally misunderstanding the technology.

Technically, they can already depending how what is shown, but honestly never.

Some older Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts CGI trailers still look better than the games of today though

I thought the Mafia remake looked about as good as its CGI intro, the only real reason they had to render it is because it flies through a bunch of different locations and would have needed to load otherwise

Do you have any particular cutscenes in mind? I'd be curious to see which aspects you think haven't been matched, although if I'm guessing it's going to be something like hair effects.

Never. Pre-rendered for each generation will always look better than gameplay, and developer marketers will always push bullshot imagery and videos to make games look better.
